Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

[StingingVelvet]

Fun to see which ones still include the poster, which means they were lower selling titles. Robocop 2? No poster. Robocop 3? Of course it still has the poster! Poltergeist sequels being lower sellers was obvious. Firestarter got much less thread attention than I expected, I thought that was a classic.

The story is told from a child's perspective, which I always like in horror movies. I watched Parents recently and really enjoyed that one as well.

I've been told it's a great "Halloween" movie. Would you recommend it to somebody based whose favorite month of the year is October?

Absolutely. You can almost feel the fall weather when you're watching it. It's a little gem of a film, and absolutely worth a discounted price.

Yes. The focus isn't on Halloween, but the film as a unique "mood." There are a few scenes where Halloween actually factors into the plot itself.

Of course Trick R' Treat is one of my go-to Halloween flicks, when I'm not in the mood to revisit any of the old Halloween films.

But I usually do a weeklong Horror marathon every year. Good times.

Thanks. I can easily get over the $60 mark, it's just whether or not I want to wait for BN's sale tomorrow to see if I can get these even cheaper...

[GasmaskAvenger]

I bought Robocop 2 and 3 for roughly the price Scream Factory is currently asking for, albeit with free shipping

[RyGuy1496]

Having to spend $60 in order to not have to pay freakin $6 to ship ruined a great sale for me.

[gobad2003]

Picked up the last of their limited edition ones I didn't have for $13.50 each - Up from the Depths, Velvet Vampire, and Time Walker and threw in a couple more to get free shipping The only way to get these limited ones is on their site so I jumped on this sale.

Yeah, that's one I've been eyeing. I've heard a lot of good things about Wendigo in particular.

I'm disappointed that Duke of Burgundy is not included, as a lot of year-end roundups said that was one of the very best genre films of the year.

[indravayu]

SF site moving as slow as molasses for me, but I was finally able to grab VELVET VAMPIRE, BLOOD & LACE, and NIGHT OF THE DEMONS - three faves of mine.

[jthefrank]

Is their site being super slow for anyone else? Could just be because I'm at work

[The Great Owl]

The site is incredibly slow right now.

[tylerc904]

The site's down now.

Edit: Back up.

[FForFake]

Just keep refreshing, it pops back up.

When I orderd it auto-populated a promo in said field. If someone else remembers what it was, you could try plugging that in if you still have troubles
