No, but I have asked them to see to make it official.

On top of that, even if Scream were to take what we think into consideration, they could just read this threads comments for the titles people are excited about and want to see, rather then look at a constantly changing poll.

Polls are fun when used occassionally especially when they relate to specific movies/parts of movies. (Ie. What's you favorite Friday the 13th movie). but when you have a never ending poll with 100 titles on it, that has no direct link to the studios themselves, it really doesn't seem that interesting. I'd love for all of the titles on your list to be released, whether I like them or not as there are fans for about every movie out there.

Yea, sorry about promoting my poll, when I need to get it more sorted out, so I'll stop promoting until all the polls are done, like you said once in awhile, so I'll promote it ever three months or so. Also I was hoping that this poll can show Scream, Shout and Scorpion, what titles we want them to release the most, and what is (most arguably) the most requested title. I do wish these companies appreciate what I'm doing, but mainly I'm doing it for myself and for the fans, who want to make an impact by showing them our love for these companies. I will make sure not to discuss the poll, (unless it's to show what the ranking of a title is ((if Scream Announces it)) right when it's announced). Anyway sorry for bothering you all

No need to appologize for something you're excited/passionate about. I do like the idea behind it, but its one of those things I check out once or twice and then am just not interested in any more. I do like the idea of a list of films that Scream has access to though, that's informative and is worth revisiting, especially as new deals develop and Scream gains access to other studios vaults.

True, and for the Wish-List it's something I know people have been requesting for and I want to show how many titles have been asked to be released by this company . But yea, I need to update "The Real List" as well too, I don't believe I've added anything new to that in a long time. But anyways, thanks for your kind words and I will keep my promoting down to a minimum.

I know I've asked before, but who owns Sorority House Massacre 2 and Hard to kill? I'd lose my mind if they were announced as a double feature this Friday. I know Scorpion is releasing part 1 sometime soon, do they have the rights to part 2 and 3 as well?

Who owns Slumber Party Massacre 2?

I think New Horizons (Roger Corman) owns the rights to all three films. Only the first film has been sublicensed to Scorpion Releasing, to my knowledge. I seem to recall Scorpion mentioning on Facebook that the decision to license SHM2 or Hard to Die would depend on sales of SHM1 and other similar titles.

All three Slumber Party Massacre films are also with New Horizons and are currently licensed to Shout! Factory. Only the first film has been released on Blu-Ray, but all three were released on DVD as part of:

Is Phantom of the Paradise being sold early at SDCC this weekend?

I believe so.

Boo to whoever bashed Shock Treatment. I find it to be a stronger film now than when I firsr watched it. My least favorite song has in fact become one of my favorites: Lullabye. It is quiet, subtle, and saddening.

The main flaw with it is that it was written as two different movies before becoming Shock Treatment. O'Brien just switched character and song placement.

I'm definitely in for those 3, and House (1986).



I will temper my expectations though.

Oooh yes

God yes! I forgot about that one. And Silver Bullet as well. So many that I know I am not thinking of when I make or see others lists. I wish I had a master list of horror/horror comedy awesomeness.

Silver Bullet is with Warner, we should get on their case about it !

And House (1986) is with Image (as part of the Lakeshore deal). No chance for Shout at the moment, but it would be sweet if they could nab the Lakeshore catalog when Image's licensing agreement ends.

Other titles in the Lakeshore catalog (just a sampling):

Initiation, The (1984)
Mountaintop Motel Massacre (1986)
C.H.U.D. (1984)
Stuff, The (1985)
Slugs (1988)
Return to Horror High (1987)

Image has released a few BDs from Lakeshore, but they've been pretty lackluster (Dead Heat, Vamp, Creepshow 2, Hellraiser/Hellraiser II).

Would love "The Initation on blu ray with features, love that movie and its bats*** ending. Interesting all those you call lackluster i really like all of them, "Dead Heat" is great 80s cheese and has some great fx, "Vamp" and the 2 "Hellraiser" i grew up with and "Creepshow 2" is awesome in my book and while on the whole i prefer the 1st film "The Raft" segment is my favourite story in any Creepshow movie. It would be boring if we all liked the same thing though.

[redrunner97]

I completely agree Shock Treatment is an amazing movie. No question.

And if I could have Scream license one Lakeshore title, it'd definitely be Elvira: Mistress of the Dark!

[dissention]

I just want my three P's: Pin, Paperhouse & Playroom.

But those will never happen. Pin is with Image, Paperhouse is with Lionsgate, and Playroom would likely be an Olive release if I was an incredibly lucky man.

That Lakeshore library needs to be rescued...pronto. Lots of cool 80's titles just languishing in the wrong hands. Shout should definitely make a play for that catalog whenever the deal with BET/Image expires

[Sinep]

Perhaps when Shout runs out of wonderful MGM titles to sell they could pursue titles more challenging to get. Theoretically they could be making a huge *killing* (pun haw haw) on their sales of Halloween and Nightbreed that they could invest in this Lakeshore company.
The Image blu rays have been so-so, the lack of extras on some titles for one thing and the PQ not as sharp as it could be for some titles..

Oh, I meant the BDs were lackluster, not the actual movies.
