Yeah, going by filmaf.com, the DVD was distributed by "Panama Films", which has only ever released Sebastian family films, which suggests it's something they own or control.

Looks like no Hammer stuff in March?

I can understand them slowing down at this point. It's likely they have the two Paramount titles, and presumably a couple of Warner ones (for which they are probably at the mercy of Warner), but the remaining Hammer-owned titles aren't likely to be of extensive interest to Scream, with the possible exception of The Lost Continent.

There's also the two Bette Davis Fox-owned titles but who knows if they have any Fox titles left.

Excited for Munster, Go Home! I remember watching that one as a kid a lot.

I'm really hoping we get some news on the Dead Zone. I would imagine that Scream got it, but it thinking maybe Criterion might have gotten it as well. I love Criterion, but we may not see it for awhile if it's them.

Yes, Shrinking Man is definitely a candidate for a single release, but I'm not sure about Cult of the Cobra. I can see the latter getting packaged with a set that includes The Black Castle, Curse of the Undead and The Thing That Couldn't Die. I always thought Cult of the Cobra was an odd selection for Universal's science fiction DVD sets, as it was more supernatural.

The critical issue, above all in my opinion, is the potential release on Blu-ray of The Thing That Couldn't Die. It's an underrated gem that deserves some decent treatment. It's definitely one of the top tier disembodied head movies.

I would Love to see The Black Castle (1952) released on it's own.

The complete Wild Woman series was released to VHS and two of the 3 made it to DVD....so I'd guess they would be candidates.

I would be shocked if the INNER SANCTUM series isn't released by Scream....question is how? (set or singles).

Inner Sanctum 2 Disc Bluray Set. The films are only a little over 1 hour each. I'm sure they will look Great on Bluray. I hope they are released in 2020.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mill Creek got their hands on Kolchak, they seem much more likely. They've put out plenty of TV series on blu-ray from the 70's and 80's. They've done okay with their TV releases so I wouldn't be opposed to it since the price on a Kolchak set would likely be much lower than their Charlie's Angels or Miami Vice sets.

Yeah, they would NEVER sell as singles. I can't imagine someone spending 120 bucks or so on those 6.

Great film. Pretty happy with the older Blu-ray, so won't be buying this, but if someone has never seen this film, I'd advise checking this out.

[Jobla]

Great news.

[Gacivory]

Super excited to get Before The Devil! I think it went right out of print when I started obsessively collecting Blu-Rays!

Give me all the Lumet on Blu!!!

A new 4K scan of "The Incredible Shrinking Man" would be great. But whoever has the license should not waste much more time. The title was released in the U.K. by Arrow over two years ago. It is region B, but I have it and it looks stunning to me. I wonder how many were imported to the U.S. Not everybody double-dips.

Yes, I certainly hope so! I watched a few of them from the Universal set about a week ago and they look good on DVD so the should look awesome on blu-ray.

I would guess not very many. In the real world, very few people actually import titles and even less have region free players.

Count me as one who imported. I would definitely double dip if Criterion used the newer scan and had different extras. I agree the Arrow release looks great and I like the extras, especially the Jack Arnold interview. I love this film....

It just a byproduct of a forum of this nature. It attracts hardcore fans, and the small percent that is willing to import discs are, obviously, a part of that hardcore group

Well excuse me. It appears that in this discussion, you have nothing of any value to say.

I'm not familiar with this film, but it's a Select line bluray with Albert Finney. I'm in.
