Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

I think I ****ed a little there. I wish I collected these instead of Steelbooks. I had a hard time getting rid of 400 steelbooks, but most as gone now. And it's time for my true original roots. HORROR!

I would buy a case of these if it would push it through! I'm not sure - does Sony have the rights to this, or MJ's estate? I'd have to look, but I thought the making of video had a separate set of rights from the actual music video...

No you really don't. I was excited about the idea of magnets until I realized they were the same kind you'd get from Zazzle or Cafe Press. I was thinking 'button style' magnets, not just a strip of printed laminate... Not worth re-buys, that's for sure...

I'm still pining for The Falling/ Alien Predators. Fun/ gruesome movie. That would not only be a blu debut but a DVD debut, and MGM already made a ws HD master.

As much as people hate that movie(including Barker himself)I enjoy it. To be honest, other than Rawhead's look, it's fairly accurate to the short story. If it had a good transfer, I would probably buy it.

Ah, I asked them on Facebook and they said no.

XTRO

John Landis, the director of Thriller is re-releasing the film in 3D next year, so I suspect an official DVD/Blu-ray release may be on the horizon. Just not through Scream Factory.

Trick or Treat would be nice!

I had a feeling they might not make the cut, but you never can tell with them announcing films at the pace they have been the past couple weeks.

[jthefrank]

One film that hasn't been mentioned in awhile (which would make sense if it's Universal), is Streets of Fire. Could fit under the Shout or Scream label.

Poltergeist 2&3
The Premature Burial / X: The Man With X-Ray Eyes
Sleepaway Camp 2&3
Slumber Party Massacre 2&3
Troll

Two down. Eighteen to go.

Did they actually say it was going to be 31 movies?

Just an assumption. At this point, it is almost a given.

I'm not sure, but they've been announcing double feature Blu-rays about every other day, so the number of movies is pretty high.

Which is why it must come out on blu-ray:

Xtro also stars Maryam d'Abo, who was one of my favorite Bond girls (The Living Daylights).

Wasn't she also on The Wonder Years?

[nerdy916]

I'd love to see Xtro on blu-ray. That birth scene in HD!

No, that's Olivia D'Abo.

XTRO is very high on my Blu wishlist too. Actually now that Class of 1984 was announced and The Changeling is being released in Japan there aren't many horror/thriller movies left that haven't been released anywhere. Let's Scare Jessica to Death and The Tenant come to mind besides XTRO.
