Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

I got 4 for 6.
Ramifications : They do not have Prince of Darkness and there must be something with the rights for Without Warning that prevent this title from being released
Im getting The Fog, The Burning and the Howling and will rent LifeForce..Night of the Comet and Day of the Dead didnt do it for me

That was every other announcement of theirs...

They've got plenty of debut obscurities on the way, re-releases of acknowledged essential classics like The Howling, Day of the Dead and The Fog give us the perfect balance. The latter two especially have underwhelming pre-existing Blu-rays, so the double-dips are more like welcome upgrades.

So since Anchor Bay no longer has the rights to day of the dead, it makes me wonder if they longer have the rights to Dawn too.

Absolutely, I want an awesome The Burning poster
With some sheers and s**t! LOL

It's been discontinued as well, along with Tenebre and Phenomena.

6 for 6...damn they've done it again. I want ALL of these. Super stoked for The Burning, being the big slasher fan I am

All of those would be amazing.

And as has been stated, The Fog and Day of the Dead could definitely use a proper re-release. Day of the Dead and The Fog probably have as big followings as any of Scream! Factory's releases.

And I also agree, there's been plenty of new titles that were never on DVD, and they've definitely given us quite a few releases that will boost up their sales with excellent releases.

I love this announcement, I got my hopes up, but I had a reality check and I love them!!!

I just hope they picked up more MGM titles, because there are so many that need BD releases. Like "Motel Hell", and "Hello Mary-Lou: Prom Night 2"...




But, yeah, way to go Scream Factory!!

Well that is absolutely amazing news and a splendid announcement. Wow! I have to hand it to SF...never imagined they could pull off nabbing these top tier titles from MGM. If SF keeps this up I'd say this mini will be a major player in genre product.

Will be pre-ordering The Fog, The Howling and The Burning for day 1.

My Wish List has dwindled to:

Motel Hell, Phantasm, Without Warning, Prince of Darkness, The Sentinel, The Car, Pumpkinhead, Squirm, Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane, Burnt Offerings and Audrey Rose.

Thank you Scream Factory...you rank #1 in my opinion.

I wonder if Day of the Dead will have a modern transfer?

I was going to say I'm in for 5 of those, but now I may reconsider if Day has a improved transfer.

[redrunner97]

My rule is NO MATTER WHAT, I will always buy any and all Scream Factory releases -so long as they come out on BD!

And that only is the condition if they don't end up lazy like Anchor Bay after getting all our dough, god forbid...

[Brett C]

I am in for five of those, minus Night of the Comet.

[jstxanothrxstory]

Totally excited for The Burning, The Howling and Day of the Dead.

[dsman71]

And you know what, they have MORE titles yet to be announced, and they will start again in 2013....save your money folks

If by modern you're referring to the Night of the Living Dead 90 style transfer, I certainly hope not!

Only teasing. :P

Has that been confirmed? I thought these 23 were it for 2013. I'd love to be wrong though.

[al cos.]

All excellent choices, very pleased.

[tonylopez]

Oh my my! Sceam Factory, I thank you so so very much. To me, all six are gotta have titles. These are going to be painfully great. You have made my year. Now I can sleep good knowing I will have these in my future.
