I wish... but our Paramount deal was only for THE DUELLISTS and THE WALKING TALL TRILOGY... we don't have any other titles. I asked for a lot of the titles you mention, but these two releases was all I got.

And it should be announced or released on ...you guessed it, April Fool's Day.
The HD transfer exists, it's been on HD broadcasts for about a year or more now. Somebody's just sitting on it.

That's just plain wrong. Bastards!

Oh god I wish Shout! would get the Friday the 13th franchise.....

I can only imagine how great that would be. We would finally get TRUE special editions.

Bummer, Cliff. Another major studio who continues to just collect dust with their back catalog. At least there willing to lease films out unlike Warner Bros. I gotta admit, I was shocked when Paramount announced the "Pet Sematary" Blu-ray this October, it's a personal favorite. I'm sure there release of that won't trigger anybody over there to look more deeply into there horror/cult library. Well, here's hoping Shout's relationship with Paramount stays strong and in the future you guys can get your hands on more titles.

How about

Prince of Darkness (i hate to sound like a broken record)
From Beyond (some pineal gland action)
The Burning (the slasher genre at the top of its game)

All three of those would make awesome scream factory releases

Cliff, I remember there being no blu-ray release of the Slumber Party Massacre collection due to low blu-ray sales (at the time). Any chance of the first film being released on blu-ray?

I believe it was more the materials for the films that resulted in them not receiving a Blu-ray release. I feel like at one time Cliff mentioned that they would have really looked no different on Blu-ray because of what the films were shot on or the materials were in bad shape, one or the other.

The "it won't look better" argument is too tough to for me to believe.

I would love if they released CURTAINS

No, sorry.... and I don't think they'd look that good on Blu-Ray. The transfer on SLUMBER 1 didn't come out so great because the film elements were in tough shape.

Also, there's always this way of viewing it....
and I recommend checking out their trailer, it's more of just a slow intro into the beginning of the movie to set the tone, rather than give away any of the story's developments, and it looks a hell of a lot better than the old crap that's typically found on youtube.

I'd rather have a rough HD transfer than a great SD transfer.
But I trust your judgement, even though every Corman title you put out on DVD only is like a dagger in my soul...
