I'm sure they're spent after the Friday the 13th set. And they do deserve a break, after trying to correct some of the issues the set does have.

But announcement on Halloween for horror tiles (and anything else) for 2021 would be really really great of them.

I love 'Twas the Night before Christmas however I do have one small issue with the storyline...

[Show spoiler]The entire plan was for the clock to strike midnight and a song plays for Santa to hear, WHY DO THEY NEED A CLOCK??? WHY NOT JUST PLAY THE SONG?

I picked up quite a few cheap $1 Dollar Tree Christmas Compilations I plan to try and watch this year as well and I have a TON of tv series' that have Christmas specials that I from time to time will watch as I remember and have the time. I don't watch everything associated with Christmas, just the ones that feel like a fun traditional experience or one that I just enjoy for whatever reason (like the American Dad Krampus episode). What's listed above is what I could remember and check up on.

I love all the American Dad Christmas episodes, we watch them all every year. The Krampus one is good but my favorite is Rapture's Delight, which feels like it was directed by John Carpenter.

Received my F13 set and both steelbooks direct from SF in perfect condition and in a timely manner. Many thanks SF and Happy Halloween.

Nightmare USA and spent a good amount of time reading that one cover to cover when it was released. Books like this make for great gift ideas and so if a hardcopy exists I'll add it to my Christmas list of ideas for my wife.

Unfortunately, I think the paperback is OOP. I don't think it was ever made available outside of their website or the Indiegogo campaign. It does make a great Christmas-themed companion piece to Nightmare USA, though.

So when is Scream going to announce that Red Eye is coming to Blu-ray?

-Silent Night Deadly Night
-Silent Night Deadly Night 2
-A Christmas Horror Story
-Christmas Evil
-Krampus
-Black Christmas
-I trapped the Devil

This year I may add "To All a Goodnight" as I've been told that it takes place around Christmas (I haven't ever seen it).

Just don't watch Better Watch Out. Most infuriating and annoying film I've ever seen.

I have to disagree. It was not top tier but still worth a watch.

I can definitely see how the twist in this movie could infuriate people.....

If they cast that kid as a victim in Saw 9, all will be forgiven.

lol... agreed!

A thought that occurred to me. What if ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS was a test to see if the limited run, sold through site only sales model is more profitable to them with older titles that don't have the appeal of later stuff like Carpenter, etc.
Maybe going forward they would use this model for remaining Arkoff, Val Lewton, b&w Corman, 1930s and 40s stuff. Susan Hart and Wade Williams type stuff if they could ever get them.

Not quiet sure if Scream! Factory currently has access to Paramount's DreamWorks titles.

I liked, but did not love, Better Watch Out. Way overrated by Film School Rejects at #5 / 99. That being said, I watched it around the same timeframe I watched Red Christmas, Good Tidings and All Through the House, and it is a near masterpiece, by comparison.

ugghhhh... hated Red Christmas so I agree there. Haven't seen the other two...

[TheHorrorNerd]

And this is Shout Facvtory's response to a manufacturer defect in my case (a wrecked part 3 case)



This is absolutely ridiculous.
All I asked for was a replacement case with an insert and they blew me off. Why should Grindhouse Video have to eat the cost?
What should I do now?

[Jlouisbarrett]

That’s a pretty standard policy. They’re not “blowing you off.”

It's a defect. The retailer should not have to eat the cost. There is no shipping damage. The box was pristine. They are liable to fix the issue. The same as when they issue a disc replacement.

[DetroitSportsFan]

They replaced the destroyed case and art for Big Trouble that I bought at DeepDiscount....
