Weren't you really iffy about Night of the Comet?

Glad you enjoyed it.

I just locked in my preorder for Final Exam. Can't wait. I "praise it's slow build" to quote Katarina Waters, from the DVD segment.

As of now, they have only said the English version.

They have not said either way about the German version.

That's kind of messed up. The German version is considered to be the "official" version (it was the only version included in the Herzog/Kinski box set). But the individual release (by the same company, Anchor Bay) also included the English version in a 2-disc set. Seems weird they'd only have the rights to one, and it also seems weird they'd withhold that information if they had it.

I'm a big fan of movies, but I don't know a lot of the "behind the scenes" stuff.... So, I was wondering is Scream Factory and Shout Factory the same thing?

Scream is a sub-label of Shout.

Does Scream only release horror movies?

Horror, scifi, and darker films that are tangentially related.

So what is the purpose of paying and holding the rights to a bunch of movies if you are not doing anything with it? Specially when you have indie labels like SF, Synapse, Scorpion that would be more than glad to release them? I'm sure Lionsgate is not the original owner of Class of 1999 which I would love to see release on Blu.

This question is asked almost daily.

We're all still looking for a really good answer.

Has the 1989 'Phantom Of The Opera' with Robert Englund ever been brought up in this thread? Was watching it today and kept thinking how much fun Scream Factory could have with it.

Yes it has. It's be nice if they could get it from MGM, its one of favorites as well.

Agreed. Especially given the good relationship Scream seems to have with MGM

They have a DVD available and have included it in a few multi-movie packs they released. So they are making some money off of it.

Given their catalog though, I doubt Class Of 1999 is even a blip on their radar.

Pete Rock · 01-10-2014, 08:20 PM

Who has the rights to Class of 1999 II: The Substitute? As far as I know it hasn't even made it to the dvd format yet.

deadhatetheliving · 01-10-2014, 08:28 PM

Does Anchor Bay still have Class of 1984? Would really love to see that.

I've heard it explained that movie rights are often retained as investments. Buy low, then retain until you can sell high; retaining rights until the optimal time to release. For example, Class of 1999 may appeal to only a few fans right now but if the new Robocop remake does well and creates a buzz surrounding science fiction cyborg movies then Class of 1999 might become more of a hot property (even more so if there is a remake). In some cases it's not obvious when, if ever, a high point in demand for a title will come so I think some just end up in "what if" limbo.
