I would definitely double tip on Escape from L.A., really hope this is accurate. Lot of great titles.


Also quick question, I've never seen The Howling and I recently came across it, anyone on here recommend the film, how's Shouts CE?

THE HOWLING is a wonderful film and a must for any horror collection imo. It isn't meant to be taken seriously and is full of in jokes and cameos. The make-up effects are among the best ever done and truly spectacular.

Now, I like werewolf movies and love old Universal and Hammer flicks, many of which are referenced in this film.... so it will add to your enjoyment immensely if you are of the same frame of mind... The blu ray is excellent quality....

I wouldn't care if Sony produced the extras themselves or port some over from past DVD editions.

It's one of the best werewolf movies ever.

Good spot. I did read this was with Olive but for some reason I thought they never released it.

Is Red Eye part of this agreement also do you know? I see on Amazon a DVD reissued in 2013 has 'Paramount Catalog' as the studio.

Would love to get BDs for Silver Bullet, Prophecy, The Ghost and the Darkness, and Dragonslayer but I'm not very hopeful.

I can't believe The Ghost And The Darkness hasn't been released on BD.

this didn't even have a 16x9 dvd release as far as I can recall...

this would look awesome in HD.....

[The Great Owl]

I pre-ordered The Return of the Living Dead directly from the Shout Factory site right now, along with orders of Battle Beyond the Stars and Damnation Alley.

A victim of childhood nostalgia I am, yessiree.

I recorded it as well. Just wish Chiller channel was in HD. They have so many great film that air, but it's pretty tough watching in SD.

Grindhouse, Twilight Time and Criterion have all produced new special features for Sony licenses.
