[BD/DVD] Swamp Thing $9.97
[BD/DVD] X-Ray / Schizoid [Double Feature] $9.97
[BD] Bad Dreams / Visiting Hours $12.49
[BD] Metamorphosis / Beyond Darkness [Double Feature] $12.49

All were marked as being available on July 7th since I had ordered later in the sale and most items were on back order until that date. I know a few folks with back ordered items have already received their packages but is there anyone else still waiting on their orders? I received 2 of my other films a few weeks back but have heard nothing in regards to the rest of my order. Normally I wouldn't bat much of an eye at waiting, but given the problems with the ordering system and the fact that so many others received duplicate orders I'm a tad worried that my unfulfilled order may have been negatively affected by the ordering problems as well. I did pay with paypal, so my order was billed in full immediately. How long do you think I should wait before reaching out to them? I assume that I'll hear something by the end of the week, but at the same time since nearly a month has already gone by I'm also a bit curious about my order status.

I'm waiting on 5 titles from my second order, I've received everything else. And I also got a duplicate shipment for my first batch of backordered items.

I have the old Return of the living dead blu-ray. Is it worth it to upgrade to the Scream Factory version. Don't care for the extras, I just want to know if Screams picture is better than the old Blu.

It is. The new 2K scan from the Interpositive looks great. The inclusion of the "nearly" original mono track also is a great addition. I'd personally buy it right now.

Thanks, buying it now since the price is too sweet to pass on.

Still waiting on anything, including a response from them...emails and voicemail.

[Endymion0000]

Still waiting on 2 titles from June 12th and 12 titles from June 16th.

[Rich65]

I will be picking up The Fog Steelbook and Streets of Fire when I go to Comic Con next week.

[deltatauhobbit]

Looks like the last of my five titles just started shipping today, I'm sure they'll get around to everyone's orders in due time.

[cropduster]

I'm also still waiting on over a dozen to ship. Hopefully the rest of the orders get shipped by the end of this week/next week at the latest.

Maybe they don't have cover art yet? Seems like they always have that before they announce things.

[WesReviews]

That brings up an interesting question... Which Scream Factory associated artist do you think will do the cover art for Hell Night?

The Dude Designs? (They Live)
Nathan Thomas Milliner? (Terror Train, Halloween II)
Justin Osbourn? (The Fog, Prince of Darkness)
Joel Robinson? (Black Christmas, Lord of Illusions)
Other?

Joel Robinson has been doing an awful lot of work for them lately, so I kind of wonder if it might be him. But, given the gothic castle setting and nature of the film in general, it wouldn't surprise me if it's Justin Osbourn.

[Member-222782]

I've grown kind of tired of Milliner's art so hoping it's someone else. OTOH, all of this commissioned art is beginning to look alike to me.

What do you think they will announce at Comic Con?

Hopefully THE REINCARNATION OF PETER PROUD. Maybe The Tomb.

Child's Play 2 & 3 (with a Release window of Summer 2018)
Paramount titles of some kind.
More MGM re-releases.

[BarnDoor]

Well if they don't announce Hell Night before then these are my guesses:

Hell Night (CE)
Alligator (CE)
Tremors (CE)
Darkman 2
Darkman 3
No Escape
The Ambulance
Screamtime

[Trekkie313]

So has anyone else had no contact from Shout! also? I've left two voicemails and sent many emails.



Unrelated, I hope Alligator is the 1980 movie and not the Italian crapfest from the year prior.

Is Screamtime a total shot-in-the-dark guess, or is this based on something more substantial? I would *LOVE* for SF to release this one.
