This seems to be the rarest slipcover I've encountered in my Scream collecting days. Even harder to find than Sleepaway 1!

Oh, it's much worse than that...

Was Sleepaway 1 hard to find? I have that one and I got it quite a while after it was released. Don't have a Lake Placid though.

Has any bonafide movie star been in more flat out turkeys than Michael Caine?

I love his classic Jaws: The Revenge response when asked what he thought of the movie. "I haven't seen it, but I love the house it bought me."

As to your question, you may be right but I submit a few candidates:

Richard Burton
Robert De Niro
Al Pacino
Christopher Walken

I might be willing to give mine up. I'll think about it

You can add Nicholas Cage to that list.

Those 2 make me sad

Not directly Scream Factory related, but many of you are in the know...

Horror Author Jack Ketchum Has Died

Every time I see talk about rare slips I seriously consider just setting up an auction for my complete (sans Nightbreed) set. One way or another they'd look uniform.

Oh, and, one hour after I heard the above news, I also learned that Mark E. Smith, the frontman of The Fall, passed away today as well.

Argh... No more obituaries today, I hope.

I agree. For me they're a bonus when I get them, but I'm not really too fussed if I don't have them. If someone is willing to pay a good amount I'd probably sell them. My shelves are a giant mess of steelbooks, slipcovers, no slipcovers, etc. With 4K, I've moved away from steelbooks altogether. Will probably sell off a few of the higher priced steelbooks I have as well. For me, it's more about the movie itself than the packaging.

I've never been huge on slipcovers, but the Scream Factory ones are so well-done that I'm attached to them.

I gave up on being a Scream slipcover completist, though, since my Blu-rays of Night of the Demons, From Beyond, Lake Placid, and one or two others are without them.

I take it as a blessing, since it cures my OCD-tendencies with regard to this hobby.

This place has pretty much any slip you could want, pricy, but can be a good ressource if a missing slip is really bothering you:

Neat! Thanks.

Do you know of such a site that has slips for DVDs? I would like slips for some of my Scream Factory IFC Midnight DVDs.

What a concept.

I was convinced I'd be missing one sooner or later so I started throwing them out. I've been buying them since the line started so I had a pretty good jump on collecting them, now every single one I get has a slip and now I regret it, and I started saving them just in case. I'll probably sell the lot of them someday

Today I did something that I rarely get to do... Today, January 24th 2018 I walked into a Best Buy and purchased 3 catalog Horror films (and one modern horror film) in person. Not only were they catalog films, but they were Scream Factory horror films, one of which 99% of the movie watching public has any knowledge of these days. I mention this not to brag, but merely to point out how rare of an occurrence this is in 2018. Most days I have any number of films on order/pre-order and being delivered to my home, but to be able to walk into a physical store and physically purchase a stack of horror films during any month other than September or October is reason to celebrate.

I had a dental appointment this afternoon so left work early. I decided to swing by Best Buy since I hadn't been in since early December. I was primarily interested in what stereo speakers they had in stock but as usual perused the films as well. Shockingly I found a copy of Hellnight on the shelf and that sort of set everything in motion. After deciding that I needed to purchase this film if for no other reason than because of the fact that it's not a film I would have expected to see on the shelves, I also ended up snagging Jeepers Creepers and Jeepers Creepers 2 since they were on sale still and I didn't suppose would ever get any cheaper (and still have slips) as well as Annabelle Creation for only $10. I was fortunate to have some gift cards waiting to be spent so the lot cost me $32 and change out of pocket.... and of course the most important part of this story.... all 4 films came with nice looking slipcovers.

Would have to add his Face/Off co-star John Travolta then

Best Buy is also where I happened to pick up my copies of Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 awhile back also. I haven't been there since about December either myself but I should go back soon & see what they have. Last time I was there I went to pick up 2 movies & walked out with 5.
