Are any more 1950s sci-fi releases planned? There’s none on their Comic Con list...

Also, hoping besides the Universal Horror Collection Vol. 3 there’s some more 1930s and 1940s classic horror planned...

Does anyone know why Isle of the Dead with Karloff is on hold with no expected release date, per page 1 of this thread?

I’ve just recently really gotten into Karloff horror movies and I hope it’s just a temporary thing, considering Ive never seen it but now would definitely blind buy it.

Thanks!

Awesome features for Vampires.

All the Tom Savini directed episodes were better than the movie

I've always enjoyed this movie more than I typically enjoy anthologies. Maybe part of it was the gore but I found all three stories engaging and a lot of fun, especially the last one. Funny, though, the actual TV series this is based on was never as intense as the film turned out to be. 'Darkside' feels more like it could've been a sequel to Creepshow than a tame Twilight Zone-like TV series.

Tales from the Darkside the movie is the real Creepshow 3 and fans of Creepshow 1 and 2 and the series as i actually grew up with the series in the late 80s despite i like Tales from the Crypt better in terms of shows. It be awesome for a CE of TFTD the movie.

I mean Scream has Creepshow, Deadtime Stories, Tales from the Hood and Body Bags in terms of anthologies.

Fun movie, with the lovely Caroline Munro provided much appreciated eye-candy, and one of the few Hammer films where the protagonist is not a puritan celibate type. The Australian BD was pretty damn good, and if Shout can just duplicate that they'd have a pretty solid edition.

But isn't that region B?

I'll be shocked if Scream didn't get Tales From the Darkside: The Movie.

AFAIK it's 1080p24.

I see there is an HD stream of Wes Craven's Red Eye on Vudu and it's with Paramount. With them now licensing some titles out, I hope this means it'll finally be coming to Blu, either via Scream or someone else!

That seems like the kind of title that they could easily get their hands on. I wouldn't be shocked if that one was announced for November - February.

[NeMo_ET]

I'd buy Red Eye. Actually quite enjoyed that one. Haven't seen it for years but remember liking it more than I thought I would.

Red Eye was Craven’s best late period film, in my opinion, so I’d love for this one to be released.

Cillian Murphy plays a great villain, and his chemistry with McAdams was excellent, very cinematic. I'm not a fan of the ending, but I don't hold that against it. It's a tight, effective little thriller, showcasing how precise Craven could be with material.

Same here. Haven't seen it since it was in theaters, but remember liking it.
