Lionsgate - Fright Night Part II (if it is indeed with them), Near Dark (done properly), The Gate, Rain of Fire/Holocaust 2000, Waxwork (though if Alligator and its sequel are still with Lionsgate I'd want those)

Dude! Salem's Lot and Near Dark would be killer!

Even though they're not horror, I'd like to see the Death Wish series. We're due for a proper release of these films.

The Night Stalker & Strangler were a product of the ABC Circle Films division of ABC. Disney acquired ABC in the mid-1990s. The thing that was interesting is that Anchor Bay was the first to issue the films on DVD, prior to the MGM release. I don't know anything about how MGM came to pick up these films, but it's always puzzled me given the popularity of these films, why there hasn't been a blu ray release.

I want Fright Night II as much as anyone, but I'd be blown away if SF gets it.

Scream Factory has stated on 2 separate occasions on the Kill POV podcast that they cannot find who owns the rights. Everyone they have contacted tells them that they don't own the rights.
I hope it happens one day, but the fact that no one (Arrow, Vinegar, Code Red, TT, SF) haven't released it anywhere and the DVD is long out of print, doesn't bode well for us fans

[OceanBlue]

Of the recently announced ten new Blu-ray titles, the title which stands out for me is Blood and Lace. Also interested in Nightmares, Ghost Story and The Guardian. Is Shout's Blu-ray release of Blood and Lace a worldwide exclusive?

Have got some of Shout's Scream Factory titles and am satisfied with the transfers (Sleepaway Camp I, II and III for example), although I've only tested the discs out so far, apart from Halloween III (the only one I've watched in full so far).

I made a few adjustments (in bold), but otherwise this is a stellar list.

There are reports of an Asian release of BLOOD AND LACE, but that was back in the VHS/laserdisc days.

+1 with your adjustments, I would get all of them.

They shot down Slumber Party Massacre 2 & 3 today.

Sorry Kyle (and fans of the SPM franchise) but there are no plans to bring the sequels to BD. The film elements are challenging to bring to HD quality and sales for the first film on BD were soft.

Well damn it. I'll admit, I haven't picked up the first yet, but it's primarily because I've been hoping for a trilogy set similar to the DVD collection. Can another company still get their hands on these, or are they firmly locked up by Scream Factory? If "The Dead Next Door" can get a remastered Blu Ray release from the Super 8 film I see no reason at all why SPM 2 & 3 aren't possible as well. Hopefully this is a soft no and something to surprise us with in 2016 as has been done many times before as I seem to remember them saying the same thing about the 1st film.

Yep. Confirmed by MisterLime in the Kino thread.

These are controlled by Disney. MGM had acquired it from them.

My apologies for the randomness, I'm thinking its a possible U.S. release from either Scream, Kino or MGM/FOX.

Warners now have Judgment Night.

I wouldn't expect a BD any time soon.

Not recently, but yes. I believe both are locked in the Lionsgate vaults and therefore untouchable.

[JackForrester]

I know nobody asked for this before, I'm probably the only one who wants it, but I really would like Fright Night Part 2 and Psycho IV.

Saturday the 14th - New Horizons (Roger Corman)
Rumpelstiltskin - I'm not positive, but I think this is part of the Republic Pictures library which is owned by Paramount

Ah my mistake on Saturday... but Rumpelstiltskin was with Artisan... wasn't that absorbed by Lionsgate?

The Fact that Saturday the 14th is with Corman annoy's me, as that means Scream Factory should easily be able to get their hands on it... among others. (Sorority House Massacre II)

Please, no...

That is a shining example of waste of time films SF shouldn't bother with. I remember watching that on Netflix a year or two ago and it was ridiculously bad. Not in a good way either.

[Optimus-Prime-Rox]

I wish Scream Factory could put "The Wraith" out on Bluray since Lionsgate doesn't seem to have any intention to do so.
