Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

[laikaisdead]

Does anyone know who has the rights to these films?

Blood On Satan's Claw
The House with Laughing Windows
Who Can Kill a Child?
The Reflecting Skin
The Day of the Beast
Rabid
Shivers
The Devil Rides Out
Martin


There should be some sort of master-list that shows which label has what movie, that way people won't have to keep asking about the same titles.

As of the new upcoming shout/scream factory titles of course most of the IFC films i have not heard of Rollercoaster, Two Minute Warning, Raising Cain, Jeepers Creepers etc.. Ive seen and I'm glad to see releases for these but I'm curious about the funhouse massacre is this a new film i see its dated as 2015 but I've never heard of it was wondering your thoughts if anybody has anymore info on this one..

There's a region B one from the UK; it has director's commentary, too.

Fun story on The Funhouse Massacre: the movie was filmed in Middletown, Ohio at the Land of Illusion Scream Park. During the off season, the park now also doubles as a production studio (I believe TFM was the first thing filmed there). My dad actually works with a guy whose family owns the place.

The Funhouse Massacre sounds interesting enough I may grab it, Rabid Dogs ill skip.

Guys, I'm quite new to the Scream Factory line (I'm in the UK and rarely import, I tend to go to Arrow/88 Films for my horror fix), and was wondering if there was a general consensus on the best Scream Factory blu-ray releases at the moment?

As a rule, I tend to love 80s slashers and exploitation films, and those less-well-heard-of horrors. I'd also much rather have an 'uncut' version of a film (I don't know if Scream Factory have released any censored versions of movies). Love splatter, gore and stories with a twist in the tail.

As such, I'm hoping to order Class of 1984 and The Curse/The Curse 2 later today. Is there anyone here who can provide some recommendations please that would fit my criteria?

Many thanks!!!

There's a Canadian version coming soon...and is unbelievably cheap on amazon.ca right now.

How is the transfer? I'll look and see if Caps-A-Holic have a comparison.

And you want a Scream Factory release because...?

I guess because my BluRay collection is mostly Scream Factory releases so I have a level of trust there. I admittedly could do more research into a release that I've heard of/seen on Amazon, but my initial reaction is always "I'd hate to buy this and have SF do a release" because I'll always wish I had the SF version. Same thing happened with Texas Chainsaw 2, so now I've bought the same movie twice.

So it's half ignorance on my part, half being overly loyal to SF.

I'm also in the UK and have been importing Scream Factory releases for a about a year and It can get addictive. There are some titles we can't get here in the Uk such as Howling 1&2, Psycho II & III, Deadly Eyes (The Rats in the UK), Pumpkinhead, The Island to name but a few. Their edition of Army of Darkness is superior as is The Serpent and the Rainbow which is also uncut with extras unlike our release. As already mentioned their release of The Fog is wonderful as are Halloween II & Season of the Witch. Happy importing

Well, that'd be cool if it got a release from Shout!/Scream Factory but it's not likely since it IS a TV movie.

I guess it depends on your tastes (not all films in a certain sub-genre may appeal), but being in the UK, I'd personally opt for the Scream releases that are unlikely to be released over here - The Burning (in rights hell in the UK) and Prince of Darkness (owned by Momentum in the UK who don't seem to give two shits about releasing films on Blu - especially older ones) to name two.

The Fog is also apparently a decent upgrade over the UK Studio Canal release (I'm yet to pick that one up myself though).

Just received my copies of Sleepaway Camp 1-3. First was the only one with out a slip. Ask if any one knows if Scream released it that way or not?

No it had a slip when it first came out.

[L.J.]

FYE in northwoods mall has all three with slips. They were there as of last Saturday. I'm sure they are still there as they've been sitting on the shelf for months. I think they were priced around $26 but I can't be certain.
