I preordered mine on 8/10 also. Maybe Amazon does pay attention to order dates.

SCREAM should get it from Code Red.

dsman71 · 11-12-2013, 08:18 PM

I wonder who that other dvd label is ? It could be Scream or Synapse.
Wouldn't it be terrible if it was Scorpion (Williams own brother Walter outbidding him lol )

Yes Im joking about that... relax and enjoy movies

Really thinking about pre-ordering Witchboard and Night of the Demons but not sure.

You should as they're a lot of fun. Definitely worth watching.

Any others that were recently released or are being released soon that are worthy of a pre order?

Thanks for the info, was just curious because it seems like a fairly easy solution if a label doesn't want to take the risk

Night of the Comet.

jdw89 · 11-12-2013, 08:57 PM

Also where's the best pre-order prices right now?

Importcd's all the way...even for Scream titles. You probably only save 2-3 per title but that adds up.

They don't take preorders until one month before the release date.

And even then, their pre-orders usually get screwed up. If you go with ImportCDs, your best bet is to wait until they're in stock.

Family Video usually has them for $17.99 with $1.99 flat shipping.

GoHastings is usually $19.99 with free shipping code EARLYBIRD

I used BlowItOutaHere for the November releases. Prices were decent, and they had a 10% off code to top it off (they have a code every couple weeks). Came to about $16.33 each + $1.50ish shipping.

jdw89 · 11-12-2013, 11:25 PM

Ah okay so i guess I will wait it out then. Also in unrelated news, I received a replacement case/artwork for Dark Angel because mine was mangled but there was a hole in the UPC, has this happened to anyone?

Where did you order from?

Hole in the UPC usually indicates a screener copy.

I asked for a replacement thru Scream Factory because my copy was damaged and they sent me a cover art with a hole in the UPC.

Don't hate me too much. I still have to pay 8.7% sales tax on top of that. And I live in Eastern Washington, where there's...nothing, really in regards to genre interests.

And Newbury comics? No wonder the price was so high. I'd love for places like that to stay in business, but it's hard not to use them as 'window shop only' locations when prices are so much lower online. *sigh* It doesn't bode well for our economy.

On the flip side, hopefully Amazon's Body Bags shortage means Scream titles are a big hit in general.
