My guesses:
After Midnight
Alligator
Bubba Ho-Tep
Empire of the Ants / Food of the Gods
Frogs
Full Moon High
House of the Long Shadows
Howling 2&3
Phantasm
Poltergeist 2&3
The Premature Burial / X: The Man With X-Ray Eyes
Sleepaway Camp 2&3
Slumber Party Massacre 2&3
Troll

For a second, I thought those were announced titles. I was ready to return my MGM copy of Poltergeist 2.

We need a 3D blu-ray of Captain EO. It's a shame Disney doesn't do 3D in the States anymore.

I've been hoping someone would release it, along with it's sequel. Fun films! Fingers crossed!

I actually met Maryam d'Abo at a convention here in the UK several years ago and I asked her about Xtro... let's just say she became very frosty and just wanted to change the subject back to The Living Daylights.

I remember that being on the USA network.. the VHS tape was from Vidmark... I wonder if it wound up with Lionsgate

My copy of Phil Hardy's volume on horror in The Aurum Film Encyclopedia begs to differ.

I recently purchased and watched Motel Hell, I did not care for this movie very much. I wish I hadn't spent $15.99 on it, that's for sure... Will be looking to sell this one back off unfortunately. I have never sold back a scream factory purchase, so this will be a first.

Does anyone think we will get a new announcement today? There wasn't one yesterday. Really looking forward to other MGM titles:

Just to name a few:

Troll
Empire of the Ants
Tentacles
Needful Things - Collector's Edition with the theatrical and extended cuts
Theater of Blood
Madhouse

[RandyK]

It's the midway point of October (and also my birthday) so I'm hoping they announce something and that it's nice.

[jthefrank]

I'd go for a Needful Things announcement. Probably been 20 years since I've seen it.

I can see the ones I bolded. I know that Scream does not have Theater of Blood

[NoirFan]

Tentacles seems more likely to be a Kino Lorber release.

[Oscar Rothman]

Needful Things...good stuff! Waiting for new announcement.

*NEW TITLE ANNOUNCEMENTS**

Since our announcement earlier this week of our double-bill of FOOD OF THE GODS & FROGS went over so well with the majority, we thought it would be exciting/surprising if we followed it up and revealed FOUR more “Animal-Creature attack” films coming sometime next Summer for the first time on the blu-ray format! So without further ado…

- Bert I Gordon’s EMPIRE OF THE ANTS (with “Dynasty’s” Joan Collins battling radioactive insects) will be paired with 1982’s devil-possessed cobra film JAWS OF SATAN (with Fritz Weaver as a priest and a young Christina Applegate) as a double feature.

- The Italian-made prehistoric campy octopus flick TENTACLES (starring John Huston and Shelly Winters) will share ocean space with another prehistoric campy water creature – the Danish-made REPTILICUS - on a double feature as well.

We still have more films to announce this month so be sure to check back here on our page this month to be the first to see them!

Really excited for these, especially Jaws of Satan which hasn't been available since VHS, and I've never got to see it, only some pictures in a horror movie book that made me look it up.

Empire of the Ants is super-fun and I really enjoy seeing John Huston and Shelly Winters ham it up in Tentacles. I had forgotten about Reptilicus, but its a welcome addition, it was part of the MGM Midnite Movie line up as a single DVD, rather than the usual Double Features.

Well done for those who guessed correct. I'll pass on all these. I have Empire of the Ants on DVD. Whilst fun I'm not spending $20 on it

[dsman71]

Ive never seen Jaws of Satan and I know Tentacles is super cheesy.. even more so than Empire of the Ants.. IMO Reptilicus is the best of the bunch. And its still super cheesy . Its a movie where the poster of the monster looks better than the actual monster

[RandyK]

Scream must've made a deal with Kraft with the amount of cheese they're releasing.
