If they can't get much in the way of special features, they would make a nice double feature.

Quick question maybe some you knowledgable horror fans can help me with:

I was about 10 or 11, so this would've been '81 or '82 and while in the BX on Ramstein AFB they had a video showing of some guy that would capture people and turn them into mannequins. I vividly remember one scene where he had a girl tied up and was slowly spreading the plaster around here face, obviously saving her nose for last. Basically you could see her suffocate. I'll never forget that scene, as it gave me nightmares for a LOOOONG time.
I'm assuming the movie must have been released in '80 or '81. Any ideas?
Sorry if that brief description was so vague.
I tell you the A/V department in that BX would show everything on video.

That would be "Tourist Trap" 1979 starring Chuck Connors.

Wow!! I don't know whether to call you guys: Good, Scary, or just Scary Good!! Thanks so much for the quick responses!
That's the one! Talk about a stroll down memory lane!
Now does that seem like a good movie to be showing on a display TV?
Thanks for posting the scene...looks like it will be nightmares for me tonight!

Edit: So would this be a good candidate for a Scream release? I would definitely buy just to overcome my childhood fears!

TOURIST TRAP is a great movie. Controlled by Full Moon, though. They're revisiting their catalog on Blu lately - maybe it'll make an appearance.

Ah okay. So no chance that Scream could get ahold of it. Bummer!
Hey, if anything, I was able to solve a 30 year old question that's been nagging me for a while.

If anyone's interested, I just ordered Halloween II and III from Deep Discount for $39.90 total. The only down side is that they're backordered, so there's no telling how long they'll take to ship. :-\ Still a great price, though.

Blu-ray.com has just added their review of "The Funhouse"! Here's the overview: "The Funhouse Blu-ray delivers great video and audio in this excellent Blu-ray release"
Really looking forward to this one, Terror Train and They Live.

If the Fog is announced I think it would be at the convention that Jamie Lee Curtis is attending.
It hasnt been shot down other than the "it hasnt been announced" reply - so it hasnt been shot down like Fright Night II (grrr!)
I think we will get the Incredible Melting Man - just a hunch (until its shot down) Without Warning is a long shot to me. MGM never even did an MOD of it when they started to release their genre titles (Melting Man, Gog, etc)
I think whatever else has only had a VHS release from the MGM library has a good shot at getting a Blu Ray and DVD release, but I can see something more mainstream-ish like Halloween 2 coming out. since its a business and making money is the # 1 priority in business, they will need to release some money making titles, bigger than The Town that Dreaded Sundown (although this could be a good seller)
Here's a hot one - anyone ever heard of Rana Legend of Shadow Lake ? Its a Bill Rebane movie, rats..

Those belong on DVD only, they are terrible...sorry.

Cliff I was wondering - is there any realistic chance of you guys releasing Clownhouse? It's owned by MGM but obviously there's a lot of controversy surrounding the film and the actions of director Victor Salva. Would that put you off releasing it? If not, I was hoping you might include Salva's short, 'Something in the Basement', as an extra.

Blech. I can't say I "hate" WW, but I would jump for joy if it was LIFEFORCE or THE BURNING announced next week.

and +1 for THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN.

[BarnDoor]

Another strong possibility I feel is The Horror Show. Would love to see Shout release the unrated cut of that.

At this point I get the impression Scream Factory might be saving the major titles for next fall, around the Halloween season. I imagine we might see the likes of The Fog and The Burning then.

I'd definately like HOUSE III - THE HORROR SHOW too, it's never even had a decent DVD release. PUMPKINHEAD would come in second place for me
