They offered Count Yorga to Scream Factory but they were not interested. Bonehead move on Scream's part.

Thats correct..that's why I wonder about other possibilities. TT isnt really a horror label per se even though those titles are the biggest sellers for them.

I'm very surprised Scream didn't take Count Yorga and do a double bill in that case. I guess they were reluctant to trade whatever it was TT asked for, or perhaps didn't think it a fair deal?

Nah, I cant see that.. Shout has a bunch of non horror titles that they could have traded for but who really knows. Yorga would have made sense for Shout

[BarnDoor]

Do you happen to know if Shout and Twilight Time have ever traded anything else?

Not to my knowledge no, but thats not to say nothing else happened.

Did they say anything about why they haven't released MGM's "The Curse" or the "Curse 2 - The Bite". I would love a double feature of those.

No. But these are MGM titles and Im 100% certain a label will release them eventually. Sometimes in deals from what I understand, not every title is offered to a label and yes some labels do pass or on titles as well. Then there are budget restrictions, labels license as many upper tier titles (Pumpkinhead) that they can within the budget and whatever is left in the budget goes to something low on the tier (The Neanderthal Man) . There are probably so many behind the scenes shenanigans that none of us could fathom. As they say , deals are complex

Oh wow, interesting.

1) I'm shocked SF passed up on having both of the Yorga films, especially considering how trigger happy they've been this year with double features.

2) I can't fathom spending a TT price on the Goldfoot sequel. That was a smart move on their part to get rid of it.

How long until they change the Crypt deals? Looks like:

Class of 1984
Mad Max
Scarecrows
Dog Soliders
Carrie Dbl Feature
Wrymwood
Tentacles/Reptilicus

I want a couple of these, but Amazon's prices are cheaper.

I need the magnets.

With the recent Cherry Falls announcement, it's a safe bet that SF still has a few Universal titles up their sleeve. I'm holding out hope that they've also got Slither (2006), Session 9 (2001), Village of the Damned (1995), or The Hitcher (2007).

Any other Uni releases you guys are clamorin' for?

Child's Play 2 and 3
Serial Mom
Cheerleader Camp
Tourist Trap
Dend Alive
Fright Night 2 (1988)

I'd be down for both of these.

[Alfredlynch]

Can't be many Universal tittles left that I want, but one that I would love for Scream Factory to release is Island of Terror (1967), starring Peter Cushing. Also, if they were able and willing, I'd go for Dracula's Daughter (1936), which is on of the better Universal sequels from the golden age of Horror.

New titles:

**NEW TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT for January 2016!**

Another retro cult titles (veering a little more on the obscure side this time) is planned for blu-ray release in the beginning of the new year. Read on for all the details:

SONNY BOY (1989)

We’ve released some pretty “out there” cult films (e.g. Ninja III, White of the Eye, The Island, Gun Woman, to name more than a few) but wait till you get a load of this one...

In a remote desert town, a psychopathic petty crook (Smith) and his transvestite girlfriend (Carradine) kidnap and raise an orphaned infant, cage it like an animal and train it to steal and kill on their command. Years later, when the half-wild Sonny Boy escapes and embarks on a bloody rampage, the couple's monstrous attempt at "child development" provokes the local populace into vengeful retaliation. A shattering, unforgettable performance from David Carradine (Kill Bill) powers this wickedly off-beat tale of family love gone berserk. Paul L. Smith (Midnight Express, Pieces) and Brad Dourif (Child’s Play, The Exorcist III) are also featured in powerfully moving supporting roles.
