That would be PERFECT. How The Pit has not had a Blu ray release yet is beyond me; Such a fun movie.

Also would like to have Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (unless someone else has the rights to it)

Im thinking Blood & Lace is the obscure one

Come on Scream give us at least one "I didn't see that movie coming". Truly hoping for something like Funeral Home, The Prey, or anything else off my list. I know it won't happen, but I can dream. .

I'm with you on the "left-field" titles. I'll take any of the ones in your sig
Hunter's Blood I believe is with MGM so that's a possibility. Superstition would be sweet but it's with StudioCanal so that means Lionsgate. I don't know how Anchor Bay got a hold of it but I'm glad they did - it's one of my top 10 favorite horror films. I'm not expecting many indy titles tbh. Everything points to bigger films or stateside editions of films already released overseas.

If anyone has Blood and Black Lace, it's arrow. I believe Kino is in a rights dispute with them over Arrow's ability to release it in the USA.

Blood and Lace is a different movie.

No I meant Blood AND Lace from 1971.
VCI and Arrow had issues with Blood and Black Lace.

My 10 wishes:

- The Thing (CE) - I'm sorry but if Escape From New York deserved the CE treatment, this one deserves even more. The Universal release is not bad, but this film deserves more.

- Tremors (CE) - Another cult classic that totally fits the Scream profile and had a pretty meh release by Universal. The transfer is not great and the extras were ok, but I think Scream can do a lot better.

- Death Becomes Her - I'm amazed Universal hasn't released this yet. Great, witty comedy with three high profile starts and some pretty disturbing (yet funny) death scenes.

- Raising Cain - Not considered Brian De Palma's best work (it isn't) but it's miles away better than whatever he's doing these days. Plus John Lithgow gives an unique performance.

- After Midnight (1989) - I haven't seen this in a long time, but I remember having a lot of fun and thinking it was above the average for a early 90's B horror film. Plus I think it really fits the Scream profile.

- Clownhouse - Yeah yeah, I know it will never happen, no one wants to touch this film, but it's MGM, I love it, and it'd be a dream (and I need to fill a blank space).

- Impulse (1984) - Another one that I haven't seen in a long time, but I remember thinking the idea was really good and some scenes were pretty daring for its time. Not really counting on this one, but Scream already surprised me before.

- A Kiss Before Dying (1956)/ A Kiss Before Dying (1991) (Double Feature) - The original from 1956 is with MGM and the remake with Universal, so this would work. Not likely as the films aren't very popular (I think I'm the first one asking for them here). Unless Cliff is a fan, I can't see why they'd bother. But it'd be a dream (especially if they could add the deleted scenes and the alternate ending for the remake).

- Lost Highway (1997) CE - Yeah, this would fit more the Criterion catalogue than Scream's, but I just realised this film is with Universal and it's one of my favorites (possibly my favorite David Lynch film) and I need to fill some blank space.

- Child's Play 2/Child's Play 3 CE - Probably separate editions if they did a CE for each film (and I don't see the point of releasing them otherwise). I know both films got good transfers on the Chucky set and many people said they wouldn't double dip, but I grew up watching parts 2 and 3 and they're the only Chucky sequels that I like. I would love a CE for each of them packed with extras and the TV versions with the additional scenes. Honestly I think these films deserve a CE a lot more than the Sleepaway Camp sequels, but I heard Scream already said no to them, so not really counting on this.

Ok, most of these films are pretty unlikely, but the point of making a wishlist is to list what you want not what you think they'd pick.
Some titles I think they might pick:

- Firestarter
- Ghost Story
- Village of the Damned
- The Guardian
- Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II
- The Ambulance
- Killer Klowns From Outer Space
- The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane
- Lady in White
- and hopefully that damn Phantasm box set because that's all people ask about lol

I bolded the ones I think have a shot. Clownhouse has no chance at the moment. Prom Night II isnt with MGM any longer. I can see Lost Highway coming from Criterion actually. Raising Cain will eventually come from someone, I do know there is interest from some labels. The Thing might be the mainstream title for SDCC. I keep thinking about Big Trouble in Little China as a mainstream title.. I can see Fox or Shout releasing it in conjunction with the remake starring Dwayne Johnson if you smell what the Rock is cooking

Are you sure MGM doesn't have Prom Night II? It's listed under their titles.
Yeah, I know no one will touch Clownhouse because of its legal issues, but one can dream right?
I can see Raising Cain coming from Twilight Time, Kino or maybe Universal in the future if Scream won't get it. Same for the remake of A Kiss Before Dying.
And yes, Criterion already released Eraserhead and has plans to do Mulholland Dr, so Lost Highway might come in a near future (ok, maybe not so near).
I agree, Big Trouble in Little China is probably being kept for a future release with the remake.
I just added a few more likely titles: Lady in White, The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane, The Ambulance, Killer Klowns From Outer Space (assuming they're all still with MGM).

And you don't think Firestarter has a shot? I think it totally fits the Scream profile. Not a fan of the film anyway, just a guess.

I would be completely fine with both! The Pit is just one of those I have a special fondness for. It's one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen. Scream Factory has a lot of options to make me happy, so hopefully it's not just an announcement full of IFC movies

I asked them about this one a couple weeks ago. They can't get it.

Fangoria ran an article the other day with the ten titles they want released. Most we already know can't happen but there's a couple that are possible:

Question here, I was going through my scream list, to see which ones I haven't gotten yet (have about 28 to go to be back to current again) and I noticed in the Walmart set they released Remains on dvd, but who did the blu-Ray? It's not mentioned in the wiki, is that an oversight? Or did someone else release the blu-Ray?

I saw that. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Death Becomes Her is overdue. I'd also love a 30th anniversary edition of Return of the Living Dead, but Scream already said they won't do it because they can't top the Second Sight edition.
Why exactly they can't get Killer Klowns? Arrow released it some time ago, what's the issue in the US?

Don't know. Fox put out the original MGM disc last year with a face plate thing for Halloween. Maybe they want to keep it and do the same again this year. I just bought the Arrow edition so I'm fine if they don't release it. Not a whole lot they can with it either since the original disc is pretty loaded as-is.

[RiFiFi1955]

So when exactly is the Scream Factory Panel this year?

I want some more Italian titles along the lines of Ghosthouse/Witchery.

It's a Shout release.
