It looks like this will include The Dead Zone.

DR Herbert West · 07-10-2020, 12:42 PM

In for The Dead Zone.

Bumblefeet · 07-10-2020, 12:43 PM

Ugh another reissue of Dead Zone's shitty quality master...

This needs the Criterion treatment badly.

Indiana Solo · 07-10-2020, 12:46 PM

I'm curious to see what else is in this.

Probably these:

Plus the Pet Sematary remake.

starsteam · 07-10-2020, 12:55 PM

If they're titles Shout released then I'll pass and hope Shout releases Dead Zone themselves.

Not sure about the fifth title (Maybe Pet Sematary Two).

Looks like it includes the Pet Sematary remake, ugh.

Oops, just saw your edit. Still...ugh.

DR Herbert West · 07-10-2020, 01:13 PM

Importcds lists the run time as 756 minutes.

The films I posted above come to way less.

Did they remaster some TV films?

The Stand is another option.

Mister_Kidd · 07-10-2020, 01:27 PM

Can’t wait to watch those langoliers special effects in stunning hi def.

postmodel · 07-10-2020, 01:29 PM

Huh...It'd be frustrating if Graveyard Shift and Silver Bullet were included in this set, unless Paramount just uses Scream/Shout's disc, still though. Unless of course those 2 aren't included.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but film-wise Paramount has:

The Dead Zone
Silver Bullet
Pet Semetary (1, 2, Remake)
Graveyard Shift
Thinner

Based on the info looks like it definitely includes DZ, PS 1 and Remake...odd...would prefer a remastered CE of Dead Zone though. That and Spider are my only HD-Cronenberg holes (I know I can import DZ, but I'm holding out hope for something special in the US...I'll stop holding my breath at this point though haha)

I'm not as familiar with rights to the Mini-Series stuff, I assume those are Paramount?

They are.

Totally forgot about Thinner.

Monterey Jack · 07-10-2020, 01:35 PM

It'd be pretty sucky to finally get The Dead Zone on BD, but only in a boxed set with a bunch of other crappy King movies I would never want to watch.

TripleHBK · 07-10-2020, 01:52 PM

Per Videoeta:

-The Dead Zone
-Silver Bullet
-Pet Sematary
-Pet Sematary (2019)
-The Stand (original Television series)

Kind of strange that Silver Bullet is in this set, since Scream released it here. I'm not sure how that works.

Just part of the licensing agreement. Universal released several films in 2015 only 9 months prior to Scream Factory releasing their collectors editions. I'm sure Scream Factory was just given a short exclusivity window.

Well, if that's the case, I really hope Scream announces their release of the Dead Zone before this comes out, as I'm sure I'll cave in and buy this set.

DukeTogo84 · 07-10-2020, 02:06 PM

The good news is that at least each film gets its own disc. Bad new is that I pretty much have all these films on Blu-ray except the Dead Zone, which if Scream doesn't announce by September, I'll end up buying this set.

If Scream Factory doesn't announce it then I'd suggest waiting for reviews. If the master is the same as the Australian release then you'd likely be able to import that edition for less than the cost of the full set. Its a dated master but otherwise a fine release. It cost me less than $20 to purchase last fall.

Edit: available for $14.98 with free shipping on eBay right now.
