Where did you find those double orange cases All I can find online is the single orange but would love to find the double to customize my set also.

I think the people who used the orange cases for this have the single orange with a stick on hub for the 2nd disc.

I think HBO had/has it, but I'm not sure, their licence might have expired???So that leaves it with Warn a Brothas..

That's exactly what I did. Got hubs and put them in. Turning my single case into a dual case.

Do the CD-style Hubs with adhesive backing still come in those bags? Was going to buy some more.
Finally bought for myself the below at the Best Buy in Soquel, CA on Wednesday August 24th. Pricematched with Amazon and used a $5 Best Buy Rewards Certificate. (Still keeping the MGM release listed due to a technicality.)



I'll be buying the Second Sight release, Standard Case, when it gets to a decent price and put the custom 2-Disc or whatever OST CD I made with it.

I'm pretty sure Mark Pavia said on Shock Waves that Richard Rubinstein (holds the rights to Dawn of the Dead) has the film, although he seemed to allude to a blu-ray release in the future.

Hardly surprising given the other MGM 'upgrades' we've seen this year.

It seems more like they've stopped commenting on questions regarding releases rather than a soft confirmation. They also responded with the exact same comment when someone else asked about Rumpelstiltskin (1995).

Now there's another announcement that would get me excited. I know comic con was only 1 month ago but with the wave of announcements that came after it from competitors it feels like it's been forever since Scream Factory announced anything or released something. I know this isn't the case at all but it sure feels that way. Hopefully with Halloween fast approaching I'll finally get my Tales from the Hood announcement.

Guess ill hold off on spending $20-$30 on the DVD for now.

Ah I didn't see that. Still, you'd think Killer Klowns has a very good chance of being released next year, especially since there aren't many previously-released MGM titles left now.

I think they'd be better off just ignoring questions about titles which they might have or are looking to acquire.

Hey guys, this is my first post on this forum as a long-time cinephile and recent collector of Scream Factory and other awesome titles. (I'll post my whole collection at a later time.) The most interesting tidbit I can offer as a new collector (this is in the 'steals' category) is that I just picked the Halloween Deluxe Complete Edition for $65 used. Other than slight wear and tear, it includes the booklet and discs in great shape.

I got it at a used media chain store called CEX in downtown Boston. It absolutely was a pricing error, as they most likely meant one of the other two cheaper editions. I didn't even realize until I got home which version it was, as it had been sitting behind the counter and the price for even just the 10-case collector's edition really didn't dip near $65 before, so I impulse bought it without a very thorough examination.

I'm ecstatic for getting the Scream Factory discs of Halloween II/III, the 2009 Anchor Blu of the original (I own the 35th Anniv. Hardcover edition which I love), plus the bonus features disc for that price. I enjoy the 4th, 5th, and 6th to a lesser extent as solid horror movies with a nice Halloween fall feel and the return to Carpenter-esque panavision and better acting/writing in H20, despite it not being a true classic.

I can even forget that Resurrection (which I haven't seen and am looking forward to in a drinking game sort of way) and the Rob Zombi films are included. I replaced his Halloween II discs/art in the black case with the Universal release of Halloween III, which I very much enjoyed watching last night.

If you've read this far, I do have one question: I popped in Halloween II and thought the video quality looked quite good on my Samsung 55-Inch 4K. Is the Universal release that much better in "film" appearance and sharper detail aka worth the $10 bucks for a fan? For frame of reference, I quick compared the two versions of the first film and while the detail in the original Blu was quite nice, I absolutely can tell that the way the negative was scanned for the 35th had a more accurate, "film at 24fps" feel. Thanks!

Anyway, glad to be here among fellow film fans!

It's worth it for Terror in the Aisles the included Documentary/film. The Universal Release of Halloween 2 is a bit more grainy/dirtier. Scream Factory took their presentation and did further clean up on it. Some prefer the Universal disc because they feel it has more detail between the grain, dirt, and specks, others prefer the Scream Factory release because the difference in quality is negligible and the amount of extra content on the Scream Factory release more than makes up for any minor picture differences. Then there's those of us that purchased and own both for a variety of reasons. (My reasoning was for Terror in the Aisles which I've since created my own custom Blu ray of).

I go to that store frequently, and their low prices always scare me away because I think I'm gonna get a shoddy/broken product. I have sold there before though; they don't pay shit.

I wonder, if the deal between WB and Paramount is over, what are the chances SF would put out "Night School" (1981)?

I thought it wasn't over until the end of the year?

[Ray_Rogers]

Quick question.
Are all the Scream/Shout Factory Double Features on a BD50 or also two discs? Cause if they're unrelated movies only the same in themes, I'd prefer if they were on separate discs.

Night School was not part of their licensing deal with Paramount. It is owned by Warner Brothers as part it's acquisition of the Lorimar catalog.

Most of them are two films on one disc. I can't think of any, offhand, that have separate discs for the films.

I think the Carrie Double Feature was two discs. The Rage Carrie 2 and the Carrie 2002 remake.

Just got my copy of Deathstalker/Deathstalker II in the mail. Wooo!
