"The Blob" will most likely be coming from Criterion, "Candyman" has a good chance of ending up with Twilight Time due to their deal with Sony, "Prince of Darkness" was confirmed by Cliff that it wasn't in their deal, practically anything MGM related has a good chance of coming out since Scream Factory is raiding their vaults so "The Fog", "Sleepaway Camp", "Pumpkinhead", "Motel Hell", "The Howling", "The Burning", etc. seem highly possible. Anything Warner Bros. I wouldn't count on since they don't play the licensing game so unfortunately "It", "Salem's Lot", "Freaks", etc. are probably not likely. I believe Anchor Bay still has rights to "Creepshow 2", I'd love to see Scream Factory give that one the Blu-ray treatment since WB wouldn't take their death grip off of the original "Creepshow".

The thing I'm worried about is that they'd somehow get tied up with my later pre-orders in the same order (The Nest and Deadly Blessing), and I don't see anything until January. Probably a silly worry...

thanks for the info. I'm not real savvy on licensing so this helps

Oh! Oops! That's cool...thanks for answering! keep up the great work!

[Frightener22]

"Trick or Treat" would be awesome to see in the Scream Factory line. One of the best 80s metal-horror flicks.

The titles in red are the most likely titles based on the information we have regarding Shout Factory licenses.

[Frightener22]

Well done, zbinks! Shout has done business with Paramount and continues to do so. Perhaps some of the Paramount titles on that list will come to fruition one of these days.

You have "Sleepaway Camp" listed as Universal. I may have mixed it up but did MGM sell that to Universal and retain the sequels or vice versa? I could have sworn MGM had it. Thanks in advance man!

Paramount just licensed their library (600 titles) to Warner, so there goes that library to MOD.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleepaway_Camp_(franchise)

In 2012, Universal Pictures bought the rights to the franchise as well as the distribution rights to the first film, making it the second slasher film series to be secured by a major studio, the first being Friday the 13th by Paramount Pictures.

Wish I could find a better source, but this is what I could find. MGM still lists the sequels in their (apparently incomplete) film list on their website.

I was hoping for some Stephen King movies on blu-ray. But this means that "Silver Bullet" and "Graveyard Shift" goes to Warner and MOD?
Would love to have these Stephen King movies on blu-ray:

Silver Bullet
Creepshow 2
Cat's Eye
Graveyard Shift
Sometimes They Come Back
It

I really hope Warner gives some of the higher-profile horror titles like the "Friday the 13th" franchise their due because Warner is definitely capable of giving films the proper treatment (ie "The Little Shop of Horrors"). They also have a respect for their back catalog (for the titles they feel are worth it). I'm sure a large amount of the Paramount titles could very well get the MOD treatment but I really hope they can throw horror/cult fans a few bones.

That's right! They re-released it not too long ago with "Vamps", "Dead End Drive-In", "Slugs", "The Stuff" etc. It boggles my mind how they chose to give "Vamps" (no offensive at all, I enjoy the flick!) a Blu-ray edition but chose to simply just give "Creepshow 2" a DVD only release.
