Looks like we're also getting Contracted II in January....part1 was pretty creepy.

A couple of other Universals that I'd like to see released:

EYE OF THE CAT
YOU'LL LIKE MY MOTHER

Too bad Shout can't bring the first one to BD.

There are a lot of IFC Midnight films that Scream could upgrade, but I doubt they ever will. I was honestly surprised they re-released The Human Centipede films when part III came out.

I hate seeing HELLHOLE on that list of upcoming titles. zbinks, can you remove it? It's obviously not coming.

If anyone is Interested Best Buy has Stung for 9.99 and Blood Sucking Bastards for 12.99

The new Stephen King book is out in stores today, so I won't be watching any Blu-rays for the next few days.
I have a feeling that there are a few like-minded souls here in the Scream Factory thread.


We really need a Scream Factory announcement for Maximum Overdrive.

I don't think I've seen any direct comments from either Scream Factory or IFC Midnight about the status of titles that had previously been distributed through MPI.

Scream Factory was able to include the first two Human Centipede films in their Complete Sequence boxset. Based on Jeffrey Kauffman's review, it doesn't sound like Scream Factory's discs for those two films were direct ports of the MPI releases either. Was MPI credited at all on the packaging?

Done.

I'm pretty sure US rights for this title are caught in the black hole otherwise known as Lionsgate.

Thanks for the heads up. I wasn't going to bother checking since they didn't have The Stranger of Gravy at release and figured they were done stocking them. I'll stop by on Thursday.

Not really a new book. A short stories collection of mostly of already released material. When End of Watch comes out, then i'll agree with you.

Anyone else think that SF is getting more sneaky in release dates for their CEs? Like some have ingeniously been put out alongside a new sequel or series (Mad Max, Army of Darkness). I wouldn't be surprised if they were to release TCM 2 alongside that Leatherface prequel.

Marketing trick, everyone does it.

I know, but they didn't do it as noticeably until fairly recently.

Not sure about the whole dealbehind Lionsgate and them not releasing movies on Blu really but they need to take the stick out of their asses.

Maybe that will prompt WB to release TCM3.

Or maybe you just leveled up in your ability to perceive the ways in which the controlling class has you by the ballz.

Pretty sure there's an HD master for it as IFC has been airing it. I haven't watched it to know how it looks or if it's the unrated version or not. All they have to do is plop it on a disc.

That's probably Marketing 101 for the home video industry. Nothing sneaky or ingenious about that.

It is a little spooky how they managed to peg release dates for People Under the Stairs and Shocker months in advance with almost otherworldly precision.

I've already read about half of these stories at some point or another, but you know what I mean. A new Stephen King hardcover is a new Stephen King hardcover, and cause for rejoicing.

I do hope that Maximum Overdrive gets untied from Lionsgate or, at least, released by Lionsgate.
