Nope, it had been extended for one more year, so it will expire at the end of this year.

Even better if it added the name of the film and a small check box below each picture like a gigantic checklist. I had an old He-man and the Masters of the Universe Poster that was like that when I was really young.

zbinks - I think the list is only lacking You'll Like My Mother, announced earlier this week (scheduled for May according to Scream).

Definitely! A few years back I suggested to Cliff that they sell a poster collage of their covers. (Obviously he didn't listen to me, but it wouldn't be the first time!)

Always liked Lyle Alzado (especially in Ernest Goes to Camp). It reminds me that it'd be great to have a Zapped! double feature on blu, even though he was only in the second flick. Not sure who owns those now as they appear to be oop on dvd.

MGM has the first

I love scream factory releases but I realized I double dipped on all the titles I own Halloween 2 and 3 and now Mad Max. All for better picture quality Shouldn't have to do that

They all have worse picture quality than their studio releases. You should only buy them for the extras.

Mad Max has slightly better PQ on the MGM release. The Halloween films SF does have the better PQ and of course extras.

Given this year being the 40th anniversary of The Omen and the premier of Damien, SF should release Omen IV The Awakening on blu ray with some extras.

I've always stayed away from that sequel, everyone says it's terrible. Now I'm curious.

I don't know why The Omen IV wasn't in the box set that came out but that God awful remake was.

Halloween 2 is debatable as it has slightly worse compression, but Scream's release did remove a lot of the scratches. Halloween 3 looks worse, but it's barely noticeable. I don't know why anyone would buy the Universal release of part 3 as it's completely barebones, unless you never watch extras.

Halloween 3 looks better on the studio release, much better bitrate and encoding, I bought both, Scream for extras and Universal for watching the actual movie, same for Halloween 2.

I'm going to second mine and every reviews yep. If it wasn't for Terror In The Aisles I would have gotten rid of the Universal release.
