The Incredible Melting Man July 28th from Scream Factory - Blu-ray Forum

DenOfEarth · 06-11-2013, 03:34 PM

I'm surprised there is no thread based on this.

Anywho Scream Factory is releasing a remastered BD release of the 1977 schlock cult sci-fi horror film "The Incredible Melting Man" on July 28th with extras being commentary, interviews with Rick Baker and Greg Cannom, photo gallery and trailers.

I hope this looks and sounds better than ever on HD, this movie is a guilty pleasure of mine since i was a kid when i rented it on video and i also enjoyed MST3K's version of it as well.

I also hope later this winter Shout releases the MST3K version in the next boxset.

Good point. They obviously have the distribution rights to the movie now. It's a no-brainer to include on an upcoming MST3K set. Maybe give the Scream Factory release a little breathing room first though.

This would make a perfect combo with Critters 4.

We do not have DVD rights nor MST3K rights to the film

The announcement of the release has been discussed in the stickied Shout Factory thread.

Not long to wait now.

They really should have included the MST3K version as a bonus feature on the Blu-ray.

Read 3 posts above you. They don't have the rights to it.

Anybody know how come they don't have the rights to the MST3k episode? I thought that as long as Shout had the rights to the movie, they could release the episodes featuring them (a la Gamera series).

need to dig out my ancient copy of The Savage Bees and watch it as part of a double bill with this because that's how the two played in uk cinemas back in the 70's

Marv Inc. · 07-06-2013, 04:02 PM

Got it today will watch it this evening.:

Dickieduvet · 07-22-2013, 12:27 AM

Just finished watching this, What a hoot!!

One of the very first late-night horror flicks I saw when I was about 10, It certainly made an impression. It gets a load of abuse but it's pure brilliance!

The PQ is very impressive, There is a little bit of telecine wobble during a couple of short scenes but all things considered it gets the thumbs up from me.

The interviews are interesting and informative, I'll be giving that audio comm track a listen tomorrow (Something I very rarely do).

Cheers Scream Factory, Top job!

Watching it right now, that nurse at the beginning is hilarious. Great scene.
The little girl playing hide and go seek is the worst player ever.
This movie is full of great characters.
Also for those who didn't know, Frankenstien is like Snow White.
I'm really liking this film haha!

The video is actually pretty impressive, especially in close ups, the clarity is way more than I expected.

Rich65 · 07-26-2013, 03:15 AM

I picked this up while I was at Comic Con. I will be watching it tonight, it has been awhile since I've seen this.

Monroville · 07-30-2013, 06:11 PM

Does anyone have that pic of the cut gore scene involving IMM and Jonathon Demme? I know it's on here some place, but I can't find the thread it was in.

Ah, here it is:
