I think Warner also lost the rights to Necronomicon: Book of Dead.

By the way, I love your avatar. Gremlins is my favorite movie.

I just bought Gremlins 1& 2 on blu-ray. They are still classics.

Or is it different in the UK?

Is anyone with knowledge of licensing law (US and/or UK) able to weigh in on this?

Don't forget to vote for movies you want Scream to release on Blu-ray, since I'm done with Classes, I will get to work on the other companies, but at the moment, enjoy the Scream Factory Poll.

Without being able to see the specifics of the contracts that Shout! and Arrow have agreed to, there probably is no catch-all answer to why Arrow can/will sell out of market direct and Shout! can't/won't. It might be a case of Arrow simply being more motivated to sell internationally or it might be a case where the language in Shout! Factory's contracts really is more restrictive.

gremlins is awesome

[Undeadcow]

My understanding is that typically companies are forced to region lock their films; but there is often no limitation on where they can ship too. I would be surprised if all Scream Factory contacts totally disallowed any internation shipping; that would seem unusual (most other botique labels ship at will wherever) and certainly not the case for ALL movies Scream Factory acquires (even if one or two ban internation shipping somehow; Scream could likely ship the others). This makes me suspect Shout is just being really conservative and electing not to satisfy international orders.

Are we getting another title announcement this month?

The newest issue of HorrorHound Magazine is hitting mail boxes and newsstands around the globe and many will notice the absence of a new HHG article. It's been a really crazy and hectic time for me both personally and professionally and I just didn't have the time to deliver the goods for this last issue. With that said one of the reasons is because we have been hard at work filming four, yes FOUR brand new episodes of Horror's Hallowed Grounds for upcoming and yet to be announced Scream Factory releases to hit DVD and Blu-ray later this year. So have no fear HHG is HERE!!! HHG the article will also return in issue #48 of HorrorHound Magazine.

I'm gonna rule out a "Leviathan" HHG's ep. Seriously though so glad to hear this as i thought there had been a few releases that could have had an episode ( Witchboard,TSPM, Bad Dreams etc). Glad they are coming back as for me they are one of the best features out there. Guessing maybe "Lords of Illusions" and "Pumpkinhead" may get one and fingers crossed for a "Fright Night part 2" episode. Thanks for the news zbinks.

You would think they would be somewhat more "recognizable" titles if they're doing HHG's for them. Wonder what they could be?

Good... now, anyone know where he's been filming these? Could give an idea as to what is being released, if we know where it was filmed.

[WesReviews]

BTW... I noticed that Savage Weekend was on Amazon Prime streaming now, with an MGM logo at the beginning. Would be a great title to pair up with another flick for a Blu-ray double feature, I think.

Screamtime is on there, as well, with a Manson International logo at the beginning, so not sure who would control that one.

I'd like to see both on Blu-ray, though not necessarily paired together. I just think they're more fitting for a double feature. Maybe Screamtime and After Midnight, since both are anthologies.

"Somewhat more recognizable," may be a bit of an understatement. HHG pieces, with only a few exceptions, seem to be reserved primarily for the BIG genre films of the 70's and 80's.

I agree. I still have a nagging suspicion that they'll announce Phantasm. I'm sure in the 'Choice Cuts' show they mentioned some heavy-hitters coming in October and November.

I just watched an HD version of Maximum Overdrive on Amazon prime.
