Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

[Movie-Brat]

I never heard of Curtains. How bad did they screw it up?

[psychocinderellax]

I emailed them and got a friend to do the same.

I fell that if we bombard them with request, then they will at least say no. Wich is better than flat out ignoring everyone.

They could also say "YES"!!

Request Prom Night and Curtains with the titles in the topic blank.

[Movie-Brat]

I doubt they'll say yes. Remember, this is the same company that for whatever reason, goes for the wrong aspect ratio.

Such a shame that Echo Bridge is so unwilling to do business. I sent them an email a few months back trying to encourage them to lease both films to Scream Factory. I never heard back nor did I expect to but I'm sure they must have received a decent amount of emails about the same topic. Hopefully, one of these days they just wake up and smell the coffee but I'm keeping my expectations at bay.

Platinum Disc was the former name of Echo Bridge, so they're all on their own.

Didn't Entertainment One (eOne) acquire Alliance?

As long as you're sending out emails you might as well send a copy to the following address too.

May as well re-send anotherone Frightener.

Yep.

[redrunner97]

I got an email from them this summer when Cliff first started responding to the requests on here, and when the FB page shot them down too. They said "we've never received any emails regarding "Prom Night" or "Curtains" from anyone at Shout..."


And I predict we'll be getting a glimpse at "The Town that Dreaded Sundown" cover art this upcoming week! I have a feeling. and we always get at least one big reveal or announcement regarding special features or artwork a week, and I feel like this will be it.

I know it won't have the new artwork, but that classic poster looks gorgeous.

I know absolutely insulting release...full frame BS. I just sent them an e-mail too telling them to get on board with Scream Factory.

[bb8977]

Cliff, I just noticed that you are releasing Cold Prey 2 on April 23rd through Shout Factory. This is an awesome sequel to a classic original, why no big announcement and why is it not a Scream Factory title ?

[RiFiFi1955]

Also why aren't Lionsgate willing to license Chopping Mall out. Another full frame transfer DVD that needs to be released in its OAR as well as BD. Do they feel it will cut into their 8-pack DVD release that they just released or something?

Yikes. I heard about the quality on Puppet Master II to be honest.

[redrunner97]

CLIFF QUESTIONS:

• Would you guys be interested in releasing "Motel Hell" and "Prom Night 2" from MGM?

• Does Lionsgate ever liscense out films?


Thnkz

[redrunner97]

Lionsgate UK has been releasing the Hammer Classics films on blu-ray, so does anyone know if they have any US rights to these movies.

It seems Warner Bros. has a ton of Hammer titles just laying around.

[WildWestWar]

Mgm has some hammer movies, so does Fox and Universal.
I'm not sure who has what though...
