Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread - Page 2873 - Blu-ray Forum

I would ADORE a 20th anniversary Scream Factory for Blair Witch Project.

Attach the Sundance cut, put out The Woods Movie documentary that never saw a release, do new interviews... it's just begging for a special edition.

And I would also love a nice release of Anaconda but I'm sure that's just me.

HA! Yeah, ROSEMARY'S BABY has moments or little touches I like, mostly I find it well made but dull.

THE OMEN was sorta creepy as a child, watching it now as an adult it's just... not good. Not awful, IMO, just not anything particularly good either. I get some degree of entertainment out of THE FINAL CONFLICT thanks to Sam Neil, but that's about the only positive about any of those films.

I think The Omen is a bit slow & boring while The Exorcist is the only horror movie that still gets under my skin when I watch it.

Michael24 · 09-18-2018, 07:59 PM

I haven't seen The Exorcist in a long time, probably the late-90s or so when I was still in high school. I need to revisit it. However, I first saw The Omen maybe 5-6 years ago and thought it was one of the best, most suspenseful horror films I've ever seen.

BarnDoor · 09-18-2018, 08:10 PM

Given that Warner Archive just announced Dracula AD1972, I suspect the Warner Hammer films with Scream are probably Crescendo and Hysteria (perhaps among others).

The Exorcist, The Shining, and The Omen are all great films and horror classics!

If anyone thinks otherwise, please post in the Unpopular Opinion thread

Yeah no kidding. I can live with someone calling The Mutilator a piece of shit (it isn't) but these three classics? GTFO

I think discs will be around for a long time though, like vinyl records now. Physical media might shrink considerably, but it's not going extinct.

I'd agree.

And I've been mulling it over myself - what did you ever decide to do with your Scream Factory slips? Were you able to let them go, or do you still have them? I still have mine, but I sort of long to be free of the whole debacle...

TXMoviebuff77 · 09-18-2018, 09:06 PM

Of it were to happen next year, I’d only be interested in Ace Ventura, Addams Family, Valentine & Copycat. Maybe Elm Street Series if the rumors became true.

I'm in the same boat as you then. lol

Pretty soon I'm going to have to start selling mine so I can afford the new "ultra limited, you wish you owned these but don't because we won't let no retailer but us carry these" Scream Factory releases.

Spooked · 09-19-2018, 12:00 AM

Okay, that's it. I feel a bit like I'm streaking through a crowded shopping mall, but I'm going to offload my slips. So how best to do it? I was thinking it'd be easiest to carefully flatten them and mail them in an acid-fee sleeve sandwiched between cardboard, inserted into an envelope mailer and sent First Class. Thoughts? I guess I could start a thread in the Buy/Sell section.

jcs913 · 09-19-2018, 12:09 AM

I forgot, if I pre-order a title from Shout's site with one that is already out, do I have to wait for the pre-order to ship or do they go when available?

I always waited until I accumulated 10-12 releases with slips and would sell them as lots of 10-12, and I’d get $40-$50 for a lot. Worth it to me to part with redundant cardboard. I’d use the proceeds to fund 2-3 new SF releases (I guess these days it would be 1-2). I would fold them flat and put them between 2 pieces of cardboard, and send them in an envelope mailer.

IIRC, they ship as titles become available.

I thought they did, but with all this complaining about them, I was worried they even changed that.

Luke Dodge748 · 09-19-2018, 01:09 AM

I'm interested! What slips do you have, Spooked?

They do. I ordered candyman and cyborg together. Cyborg shipped yesterday.

Glad I'm not the only one who finds Rosemary's Baby overrated. It's not about age either as I love plenty of films made around that time and earlier.

NeMo_ET · 09-19-2018, 11:59 AM

I'd sell my slipcovers if it was worth the time/effort. For $5 a piece it's not happening (packaging and shipping costs, packaging and shipping effort, having to worry about people complaining that they arrive with a speck of dust on them or a microscopic corner bend). Now, if someone wants to pay me $50 for any of my slips, I'll make the effort. Other than that, my shelves will remain a giant slip/no-slip mashup. Whenever I get something with a slip my initial thought is that I'm getting some sort of added value, but then when I actually go to watch the movie it's just more of a pain to take it off and open the case. In the end, I'm slipcover neutral.
