Granted the films a bit of a mess but it's a beautiful mess.

Nope, they cant get it.. seems like no one can..

Ah right, I didn't realise it had been asked before.

My bad.

Damn that sucks.

One thing I wish Scream! and other cult labels would do is have a digital download with the blu-ray. Would love to have some of my favorite cult titles on my tablet. That's one thing I love about Drafthouse Films.

Hey,

Witchboard never came with a slipcover, right?

You can create your own .avi, .mp4 or .mkv encodes with handbrake. This is the best way since you create the size you want.

handbrake is okay. It's really just a way to keep you from having to deal with avisynth and the x264 switches. I recommend learning avisynth scripting and familiarizing yourself with all of the x264 encoding features for truly great encodes.

Manage to get the List down to 599 titles, to do so, I've made a limit, that the title must have over 1000 votes on IMDb, Must Contain Horror, and Must be a feature (though I have a few documentaries), I'm still going though all their company credits to see what is to be deleted, but I've run into some companies not mention here, can you help, which of these companies should I delete or keep a title because of who owns them?

Not quite Scream Factory, but definitely Shout-related:

Pre-Order here July 8, 2014.

Imo, it could have been shoe-horned into the Scream Factory line (much like Assault on precinct 13 and Darkman), so I though you folks would want to know that the pre-order is up. Its definitely sneaky-genre, like Deliverance... It's "that kind" of horror, so the news isnt too out of place in this thread.

They misspelled Powers Boothe on the cover art

Big fan of both Exterminators so you'll get no argument from me there.

My second-tier potential blind-buys would be the following..
- "Swamp Thing"
- "Eve Of Destruction"
- "Saturn 3" (which I can't imagine ever owning unless reviews were phenomenal)
- "The Incredible Melting Man" (see above comment for "Saturn 3")
- "Scanners II/Scanners III" (I've heard part III sucks, and no extras is a major red flag)

I do have a desire to own the "Vincent Price" set, I just haven't had the disposable income lately. Everything else, if I didn't mention it I own it, or just don't like it or even consider blind-buying it. I've seen "Death Valley", "The Island" and "The Nest", I just haven't figured out if I like 'em enough to purchase 'em.

I like The Nest better than everything else you've listed so "blind" or not that would be my pick for purchase. That said, I have a strange attraction to Saturn 3. I've seen it roughly a half dozen times and each time I watch it I think, "why are you doing this to yourself again?" Yet I can't take my eyes off of it. I talk myself out of ordering this title on the regular.

Hopefully they are alerted soon by someone before they print off the cover art.

They are absolutely terrible about mislabeling and misprinting their covers.

Excellent news! Love this film. Very creepy, as you said, in a Deliverance kind of way. I wonder why Amazon is calling it dvd? Definitely preordered!

Its a combo-pack, sometimes they label it DVD simply because it includes a DVD copy.

This is a fun film from the fat of Hill's heyday. With some new preorders up, I may have to make another March Madness order...

For someone that only owns 2 Scream Titles (Slumber Party Massacre, Night of the Demons). Could someone suggest a title or 2 that would be similar to these that Scream has released, I really wanna pick up some more but the majority of them would be blind buys. And I don't really wanna be disappointed

Thanks ahead of time for any info

You can't go wrong with Prince of Darkess and They Live; those are a step up from those you own and safe buys. From Beyond and Phantasm II are top tier too (but Phantasm II benefits from seeing the original first). I'm partial to The Beast Within, but it's not to everyone's taste, and despite being dated now I'm a fan of The Howling but again your mileage may vary.

Honestly, I like Night of the Demons more than Prince of Darkness and They Live. Just sayin'...

Ooooh, I may have to get that. Good movie.
