Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

[fuzzymctiger]

- Halloween II - Medium-High want for Tv cut, new features. Already own Universal.
- Halloween III - Very High Want
- Terror Train - Low Want. Not a huge fan, but will get to complete a collection
- The Funhouse - Lowest want. Already own the suburb Arrow release
- They Live - Very High want. The definition of awesome!
- The Island (12/11) - Medium. Cool art, sounds interesting.
- Death Valley (12/11) - Medium. Sounds alright.
- Deadly Blessing (1/22) - Low Want. Getting the Arrow release.
- The Nest (2/19) - Medium. Sounds interesting.
- Prison (2/19) - Medium. Sounds pretty cool, generally interests me.
- TerrorVision/The Video Dead double feature ( 2/19) - Very High. 2 I've been wanting to see for a long time.
- From Beyond (March) - High. Was going to get the Second Sight release, but the awesome cover art sealed the deal for this one. Like a crazy kick ass comic! Stuart Gordon and HP Lovecraft. Been wanting to see this for a while
- Phantasm II (March) - Medium-High. Great sequel, and the most of most extras out of the first announcment entices me, but the cover is a bit of a let down.
- Vampire Lovers (Date TBD) - Very Low. No interest whatsoever. Only reason I would get this is if it was last to get in collection or going OOP.
- Town that Dreaded Sundown / The Evictors (Date TBD) - Very High. Been wanting to see Town That Dreaded Sundown for a while. Loving the double features idea.
- The Incredible Melting Man (Date TBD) - Very High. Sounds awesome!
- X-ray aka "Hospital Massacre" (Date TBD) - High. It's a slasher. Straight into my good books
- Schizoid (Date TBD) - Medium. I have no idea what this is
- The Godsend (Date TBD) - Medium. Ditto.
- Scanners II & Scanners III (Date TBD) - Low. Going to get the Second Sight Trilogy when it comes out.
- The Horror Show (Date TBD) - Medium. All the constant begging for this has me interested.
- The Vagrant (Date TBD) - Medium. Sounds ridiculous, but caught my attention.
- The Fog (Date TBD) - Very Very High. A classic. Definant purchase
- The Howling (Date TBD) - Low. Idea never appealed to me
- Lifeforce (Date TBD) - Very High. Always wanted to see this
- Night of the Comet (Date TBD) - High. Sounds pretty good.
- The Burning (Date TBD) - HIGHEST OF HIGHS. Ever since I got a blu ray player, this has been top of my wishlist.
- Day of the Dead (Date TBD)- High. Potentially cool cover art, New extras, great film. Transfer better be better though.

Sorry for pinching the idea.

There are a few that I will get no matter what, that list includes: They Live, The Funhouse, Terror Train, Prison, Video Dead/TerrorVision, From Beyond, Phantasm 2, Town that Dreaded Sundown, and the Super Six.

[NoirFan]

I'll be buying everything except Day of the Dead. I already have the AB DVD, and never really warmed to the film anyway. I find the characters absurdly one-dimensional and cartoonish - Joseph Pilato as Captain Rhodes is particularly grating. I suppose that's the point, but it makes for dreary viewing.

I'll be grabbing them all.

So far I have Halloween 3 and Terror Train, need to grab They Live (Love this movie), Funhouse (It's okay, need to revisit), and Halloween 2 (Almost bought this with Halloween 3 but held off due to already owing the Universal version and not having a lot of money at the time) when I find them for a good deal, or have some extra money.

I have already pre-ordered Deadly Blessing, The Nest and Video Dead/ Terrorvision as they were well priced on Amazon.ca.

Will grab/ pre-order the rest as I find them for a good deal, which is a little harder in Canada.

I forgot about that movie till you mentioned it..... hmmmm.

and those TerrorVision extras looking effing epic!

[NoirFan]

Forgot about Scanners II/III - I'll compare the extras with the Second Sight trilogy and probably wait on the latter until some info on whether Criterion will be releasing the first film surfaces.

I do like a good swerve....but that one almost got me to buy the fancy German edition! :P

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. I'm very grateful you got Night of the Comet, They Live, Halloween 2 and 3, and every title you have. I may not buy all that you're putting out, but you've replaced Anchor Bay as a truly dedicated label to the titles you've acquired and pleasing all different fans... kudos!

I would love to put out there, that it would amazing to procure the rest of Phantasm. Just sayin'! Keep rocking!

[redrunner97]

The original artwork for "Prison" was released on their facebook page!

[NoirFan]

No matter how cool or inventive commissioned art is, you just can't beat the simple effectiveness of original poster art.

So true !

[redrunner97]

I'm not trying to be mean, its just my opinion... The guy who did "Prison" and "From Beyond" didn't capture the movie with the artwork. He's a good artist, but not a fit for this line. I think he should not be allowed to do more artwork for Scream Factory, and if he is I only hope he will grasp the essence of these films...
