Didn't expect such a response lol. I was never a big horror guy to be clear, I don't even know who Stuart Gordon is. I was always a sci-fi/crime/fantasy guy. I am getting more into horror lately because of Scream and other blu-ray labels, but I find it a very hit-or-miss genre. I was blind-buying a lot of 80's titles for a while there, Dolls among them, but I hated a lot of them so I need to stop.

That's understandable. I assumed you were a big horror fan, I'm fairly new as a consistent poster around here and don't know a lot of the names yet. I'm a huge 70 & 80's horror fan so that falls right into my wheelhouse. Stuart Gordon is the director of genre classics Re-Animator and From Beyond, two of my personal favorite films of the genre. He's also done some other good to great films too, Robot Jox (sci-fi, you might like this one), Dagon (pretty good Lovecraft flick with rough CG) King of the Ants, Stuck and Edmond.

Yup we're all different. I love Re-Animator, I have a soft spot for Frankenstein style movies (and they're half sci-fi anyway). Robot Jox is on my wishlist. Glad you're getting so many release from Scream to enjoy. I'll keep focusing on the ones that lean more sci-fi/thriller.

I have noticed I tend to like slashers more than the spooky/crazy ones though. I really liked Sleepaway Camp and Blood Rage, for example. I might keep my Scream horror blind-buys to well regarded slashers.

It's a far better film than the more popular Puppetmaster.

So happy I managed to score some preorders with that shout sale to catch up a bit again.

Ordered the Poltergeist sequels (which will let me sell off the posters to justify my curiosity), Black Christmas, Rabid, Dreamscape (which will let me sell the posters as a perk for movies I want), Dead of Winter, The House That Screamed, and a few new Shout Selects (Fists of Fury, Chinese Connection, and Live and Die in LA).

And with all that I forgot to pick up Raising Cain again. What a ninny!

[StingingVelvet]

Speaking of Dolls why is it up to $17 already with two days of auction to go? I paid $12.99 for it. Crazy town.

Any guesses for tomorrow? On Facebook, Scream said it'll comprise of releases throughout 2017, calling it a "colorful assortment".

[BarnDoor]

I'm going to restrict my guesses to 5 titles:

The Reincarnation of Peter Proud
Arnold
Misery (CE)
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (CE)
Alligator (CE)

Logic - if Scream have Ben and Willard, it suggests they might be able to get the other Bing Crosby titles, which are frequently requested. Killer Klowns and Misery seem like no-brainers. Alligator is apparently no longer with Lionsgate and Jeff has said it's a dream title.

I'd be interested to see if any Universal titles are announced. Since there were no Universal titles among the SDCC announcements I suspect the last deal ran its course, but maybe Scream have since agreed a new deal (Child's Play 2 and 3, Slither, etc).

[Ruemorgue10]

My guess is the Child's Play sequels will be announced

[Worship.my.wreck]

Still hoping for Candyman

[jshaide]

"colorful assortment" right away made me think of Killer Klowns and Child's Play 2/3.

I think we'll get some from that poll a few weeks ago as well, hopefully on a couple of double features. I really liked when they went double feature crazy in 2015, especially on the types of titles they were doubling up.

Hoping to be surprised with some 60s and 70s titles!

A lot of buyers on eBay aren't particularly smart.

That would be pretty amazing - it might be possible depending on the current situation

I can see The Vagrant, Tombs of the Blind Dead, The Angry Red Planet,Alligator, Child's Play 2 and 3, and Trilogy of Terror

[Alfredlynch]

I'm hip for The Angry Red Planet, Trilogy of Terror, and if so, Dawn of the Dead. Man, if ONLY they could get The Hitcher.

Whoa what makes you say that? I would like to check out a box set release of this series but I would of thought the rights are still with Blue Underground. Doesn't seem like an announcement Scream Factory would make since they are mostly into well-known horror and Charles Band productions. Though they are releasing The House That Screamed, which is another Spanish film.

[Donl1282]

So I assume some big popular titles will be announced tomorrow?
