Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

Then there's those of us that purchased and own both for a variety of reasons. (My reasoning was for Terror in the Aisles which I've since created my own custom Blu ray of).

I had this custom Blu ray cover made for Terror in the Aisles

Yeah I actually saw this when I was preparing my copy. I really like it and would have used it straight away had it been available to print at the time.

Can anyone help me with contacting Scream Factory?
My credit card info was compromised & my bank is sending me a new card & I don't know how to switch them out so I won't miss out on my pre orders of Deluxe Thing
& Carrie!!

I sent them a email earlier through their website but I'm not sure if it went through... how long do they take to email back? Anyone have an experience like this that can help me out?? I don't want to miss out on my preorders!!

I'd go for Rumpelstiltskin (95). I remember renting that one a few times as a kid and laughing at how ridiculous it was. In a good way of course. Too bad Scream didn't beat Olive to Night of the Demons 2 and Witchboard 2. Two other Republic Pictures releases that could have used some of that Scream Factory love.

I'm really getting excited about the possibility of Scream working on a deal with Paramount. That would definitely light a spark under the label for 2017 and beyond.

Wishlist:

April Fool's Day
My Bloody Valentine (Uncut)
Pet Sematary 2
Silver Bullet
Tales From the Darkside: The Movie
Vampire in Brooklyn
The Golden Child
Fire in the Sky

Event Horizon - Would love to see if Scream could unearth some of the uncut footage. I would take it as deleted scenes, but an uncut version would be almost as big as what they did with Nightbreed.

Friday the 13th 1-8 Collector's Editions - Probably isn't much new Scream could do with this series unless they manage to find an uncut print. New transfers would be nice. However, if Scream could get the rights to the Crystal Lake Memories Doc. and break the segments up for Friday 1-8 for each disc, that would kind of make a Scream Factory version the final word on the Paramount Fridays. Of course they would also need to transfer over any commentaries, deleted scenes, and trailers from the Paramount discs as well.

Add to that...
Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell
Graveyard Shift
King Kong (76)
Let's Scare Jessica to Death
Orca

Got mine today as well. I notice the packaging is the same as other Scream Factory double features (at least compared to Destroyer/Edge of Sanity, anyhow, which was handy). Nothing at all to indicate it is limited.

I'm also really hoping they can get Body Parts.

What's the motivation to have the Second Sight disc at this point? Scream release looks much better and has all the appropriate features, as far as I can tell. Also has the poster artwork, same as the Second Sight.

I wouldn't get too excited about a potential deal between Shout Factory and Paramount - there might be some kind of moratorium on titles that have already been released, similar to what Kino's deal may be. If we can't get titles like Silver Bullet or Let's Scare Jessica To Death, I don't see the point in Shout making a deal with Paramount. Kino is probably happy with their deal since they favor non-genre stuff but where would that leave Shout?

Second Sight has:

• The complete, original audio track
• More Brains deleted scenes (essentially more interviews from the cast about the film)
• They Won’t Stay Dead, RotLD 2 half-hour doc
• Love Beyond the Grave, RotLD 3 half-hour doc
• Resurrected Settings featurette visiting some of the original shooting locations with the blonde actress (sorry, forget her name) from the movie
• Return of the Living Dead In 3 Minutes
• Stacey Q music video

...That Scream Factory does not. How important/ appropriate that is to anyone will vary person to person, of course. Personally, I don't really care at all about the music video, and think the "3 Minutes" thing was lame. But the rest I care about.

I'm hoping Vestron can get the rights to the Love Beyond the Grave documentary for their release of Return of the Living Dead 3. Who knows though? Maybe they are working on a better/more comprehensive documentary.

Cool you listed them. I'd take the new master over the one brief missing song, personally. The location feature is replaced by a similar one. The sequel stuff doesn't really interest me. I'm good. If others find it worthwhile though, go for it of course.

...all of this here. Also TBH this is just another one of those titles for my Blu-ray disc collection which I don't have any problem with owning more than one copy.

I'm fine with owning multiple copies of a movie I love if there's a reason to. I don't see a reason here, but like I said, it's for others to decide for themselves of course.

[Jlouisbarrett]

Nothing on the Second Soght disc interests me in the least save for the sequel featurettes, but they'll probably be replaced with superior features, or at least RotLD III will once it's released anyway, if they're not just outright ported over. Regardless, as far as content relating to the first film goes, the Shout! release is definitive to me.

[TripleHBK]

Drove to the nearest Hastings today to see what they had left for Blu Rays and ended up picking up...

-Catacombs/Cellar Dweller for 11.99
-Howling 2 for 11.99
-Wrong Turn 5 for $3.25
-The Expendables (original release) for $4 (This is a replacement disc for my faulty copy I puchased years ago. Didn't watch the film for years and when I finally did this spring it had a manufatoring defect which caused the film to skip at one point.)

All new releases are currently 30% off so these were the only deals I could find that were worth jumping on today. There were several other titles that after discount broke down to $14 but they were stuff from Scream Factory that's very low on my priority list.

Surprisingly there was only 2 arrow releases I could find so I'm assuming this particular store just didn't carry many to begin with. Eaten Alivew was there (which I really wanted) but after discount it was still going to cost over $20 for and since Arrow had it for $14 in their last sale I decided to wait. They also had Blood Rage but that would have cost around $30 after discount.

They had one copy of Human Centipede 3 and one box set available but neither were discounted remotely close to the online rates. I was happy to come out with a few titles though. I drove an hour there just to check the store out (had never been there before) so overall I did pretty well. I stopped off at Family video on the way back and snagged The Good Dinosaur (3D Blu Ray only with case/slip) for $10 and Crimson Peak (BD only) for $8 as well. Got home and my Video Nasties Documentary had arrived along with "Don't Answer the Phone" so today was a good movie day.

I love Shout/Scream Factory. I was so excited when they announced Demon Knight and Bordello of Blood. The pre-order posters look great. TCM Pt. 2 was also well done. Manhunter is masterful.

The two Tales from the Crypt films were easily some of my most anticipated titles despite being newer and not really that hard to find at all. I've watched both films a few times and wish the franchise could have gotten more equally well done sequels.

[splintersan]

I've always loved Demon Knight since I rented it on VHS when it came out, thought I was the only one but seeing SF do a release and all of the positive response to it makes me very happy. I never really got into Bordello but it's on my list of movies to revisit in the near future.

Bordello of Blood captures the spirit of the show perfectly. I honestly don't understand the criticism against it.
