and a double feature of Special Effects and Perfect Strangers would be cool to. Both with MGM as well.

Balki disagrees.

Was thinking the same thing.

They're all in black cases*, but I figured some folks might want to just see the autographed ones.

Where did you get these cases from?

[dsman71]

I think they will announce Bubba Ho Tep .. plus maybe some Filmirage studio titles - both Ghosthouse and Witchery had that studio in IMDB

Im not expecting any older titles although Im sure they must have some Price films

Has there been any word on Phantasm V? Seems like a perfect SF release.

None yet. I imagine a box set is coming soon.

Please SF announce titles that more than 10 people have ever heard of!

Beastmaster? when, where?

[heebiejeebie]

Warlock.
The Beastmaster.
The Sword and the Sorcerer.
Red Sonja.

I would take all of these, though I think Red Sonja is with WB.

If SF could get rights to the Halloween and Psycho sequels does that mean they could potentially do the same with Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th and Child's Play series? I know these films are already on blu ray but I still would like to see stand alone releases with original artwork and even more extra features (Child's Play 2 and 3 are overdue for a special edition).

Big no to both Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th.

Both with Warner Bros, with very thorough sets already, minus cut footage SF wouldn't be able to get anyway.

I believe they nearly had Child's Play at one point, but decided against it since the home studio had plans for a release soon as well.

I hope the Nightmare on Elm Street sequels will get better special edition releases in the future. It would be nice to get commentaries for part 2-6. Friday the 13th part 2 should get a commentary as well.

Region B blu-ray. If you have a region free bd player you can get it from Amazon USA For under thirty $.

Even though SF has released a few single titles that already had a blu-ray release, I would think that re-doing big box sets like the ones you mentioned would be a pretty big risk. If people are satisfied with the current releases, it'll be hard for them to consider spending $100 or more on another box set of something they recently bought. Although most of the Halloweens were on blu-ray already, the individual blu-rays were pretty lackluster, and SF's box set was much better than what was already out there. SF would have to do something really special to get me to re-buy one of those sets.

If they did release Child's Play 2 and 3 as special editions, I probably would consider getting those and putting them in the Chucky collection. But I'd rather them focus on creating box sets of series that aren't already available: Children of the Corn, Hellraiser, and (the one I'm really hoping gets announced for this fall) Phantasm.

Oops I quoted the wrong person....sorry

jlaavenger:

Beastmaster is available from Amazon on blu-ray (Region B) and it looks pretty good. Especially the Tanya Roberts lake scene

I agree. I got my nightmare on elm street set for only $25 or so. On another note, isn't there already a chucky collection as well? The one I'd like to see the most is a Hellraiser collection. That's locked deep in the faults that no one will ever touch. Unfortunately they'd probably butcher it but I hope there's a remake or something because then they're more likely to revive the set.

Just wondering what we can expect tomorrow, given that there's no artwork reveals on the agenda. I'm thinking, in addition to a couple of announcements, almost certainly an update on Dog Soldiers and maybe extras on the May titles (though these will be paltry). Seems a little early for the Sleepaway Camp II and III extras to be revealed.

[toodeepuntilnow]

Eh, I don't think we need a Hellraiser box set. They go from mediocre to awful real quick after part 3 that I'd have a real hard time wanting to pay for or wanting to own any of the later entries. You'd have to have a lot of bare bones discs because those later entries aren't going to justify the expense and that's not really Scream's style. If we could just get the third one someday, that'd be great.

Its kind of amazing that Hellraiser Hell on Earth and Candyman havent seen release yet.

...In the US, though the UK Candyman disc is pretty underwhelming - an average transfer, lossy audio, and no extras.
