I drop most of them in these guys.

A bit cumbersome at that size, but they slide under a couch or something easy enough to be out of the way. And the posters get looked at much often than if they were in tubes (which would basically be never).

Very nice idea. I really don't know that I need each and every one of those Scream Factory posters I own framed and on the wall, but it would be nice to get them out of their tubes and display them in some fashion.

It was released under TWC, so it’s not under the Paramount/Miramax umbrella.

18x24 is a common size. Walmart, Target, Michaels, or Hobby Lobby should have many options.

[Show spoiler]Rampage (1987)
Godzilla vs Biollante

Hardware
Dust Devil
Fortress (1992)
Hellraiser III: Life on Earth
Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice
The Dark
Mother's Boys
Angel IV
The Club (1994)
The Crow
The Road Killers
Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers
Highlander III: The Sorcerer
The Prophecy
Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering
The Crow 2: City of Angels
From Dusk Till Dawn
Hellraiser: Bloodline
Nightwatch (1997)
Mimic
Scream 2
Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror
The Faculty
From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money
Halloween H20
Phantoms
The Prophecy II
Tale of the Mummy
Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return
Existenz

The Crow: Salvation
Dracula 2000
From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter
Hellraiser: Inferno
Highlander: Endgame
The Prophecy 3: The Ascent
Scream 3
Children of the Corn: Revelation
The Hole (2001)
Mimic 2
The Others
Below
Darkness (2002)
Dracula II: Ascension
Halloween: Resurrection
Hellraiser: Hellseeker
They (2002)
Mimic 3: Sentinel
Mindhunters
The Crow: Wicked Prayer
Dracula III: Legacy
Hellraiser: Deader
Hellraiser: Hellworld
The Prophecy: Uprising
The Prophecy: Forsaken
Venom (2005)

Of course, a number of these have already been released on Blu-ray, and Scream are probably only going to double-dip on the more notable ones. I think the only real chance of getting upgrades of the various Children of the Corn (certainly after 3), Prophecy (barring the first) and Hellraiser films is in a box set.

I'd love to see SF put out an uncut version of Scream, but given Paramount's recent 4K release again I'd say the only chance of that is if they can do a trilogy set, but it seems improbable Paramount would sub-licence it.

I could see Scream producing a The Crow boxset. And I really want to see them put out the Highlander sequels, and also the Dracula 2000 films would be a nice touch. I can hope...

I don't think Paramount will bring us a 4K of Scream 2, so a Scream Collector's Edition would be fantastic. But seeing as how it just got a new bluray release with digital I don't see it happening.

I wish SF would be like Kino and say who they've made deals with. It would make our lives a lot easier

A Dimension deal would be aces. Lots of modern schlock that got thrown together into multipacks I'd love to see get standalone Collector's Editions. Some of those Dimension films are actually very good, like BELOW, THE HOLE, PHANTOMS and THEY.

Indeed. I'm waiting for Crescendo.

Me too. But I'm thinking they'll announce Night Creatures next to finish up the Universal Hammers.

Although SF has a deal with Warner, I wouldn't be surprised if WAC releases their Hammer titles themselves.

No it doesn't look like it but there's still time to change that, so I guess we'll see.

Also, not sure if this was an update or I just missed it earlier, but there was the following note on the listing for Cursed which I saw just now.

(Please Note: The Unrated Cut is not the original Craven cut of the film featuring different actors in the roles. We tried.)

maybe if enough of us complain they will change their mind, just seems strange to me not to do one. i feel like all 4k releases should be considered collectors editions. also to do posters and pins but no slips, what is that

Most 4k releases thus far have been upgrades of existing Scream Factory releases and so there was a significant amount of special features content created and then carried over to the 4k release along with usually a small bit of new content as well. In the case of the Happy Death Day films however Scream Factory did not previously create content nor did they release them on Blu Ray. For these 4k releases the only new features I've seen thus far have been commentary tracks. This, plus the fact that they are newer films which may not have much else in the way of content available for special features (like Sword and the Sorcerer or Alligator would) is why I feel that they didn't go down the road of making them collectors editions and why they wouldn't get slip covers.

If I did have a complaint however it would be that they are priced basically the same as those other aforementioned Collectors editions which seems a bit unfair. $29.99 for the Happy Death Day films would have further helped distinguish them from the Collectors edition lineup of titles and maybe made folks a bit less critical of the releases.

I know there are folks out there that enjoy there enamel pin sets, but that does nothing to sway me nor does it make me view the release any more favorably.

So I've got a USPS Media mail package from Louisville, KY coming. That sound like the Howling 4K to anyone else?

Probably one of those signed hospital diapers Bananaman sold on Darkforce's website, sad to say.

The only 4K UHD release I have that didn't have a slip (originally) is "WILD" with Reese Witherspoon (well, I think it never had one).

Maybe there are others, but it seems like slips are basically part of that format 100%. I'm not getting the HAPPY DEATH DAYS anyway, but have there been any other 4K UHD's released without a slip? (Maybe there are many, I've just never seen any).
