That would be great; always happy to see more Lugosi on Blu. A collection similar to what Scream delivered for Vincent Price or Paul Naschy done for Sony Boris Karloff titles would be terrific. The Devil Commands, The Black Room, Before I Hang, The Boogie Man Will Get You and The Man They Could Not Hang would make for a sweet compilation of vintage B&W horror.

Hope to see Scream give Romero's Dawn of the Dead a proper release.

WB and Sony? If these deals are expansive, they are going to be set for years.

It's clear that Scream Factory is on the juice right now, big time. I can see this being their biggest year. What a great time to be a collector...

Brainscan is one of my top wants. This would be a HUGE title for Scream Factory, as there is currently no version of the film in any region, and it's become a cult favorite for many. A CE would be awesome. John Flynn has died, but I wonder if Edward Furlong would be up for a retrospective...?

I agree with you that with Universal, Sony and WB this is one hell of a year and it's out-frickin-standing.

Brainscan and Screamers would be nice!

Does anyone have experience with ordering direct through Scream factory?
If you preorder multiple titles on one transaction (to have free shipping) do they ship them as they come out or do you get it all together when the last title ships?

I have extensive experience ordering from Shout Factory.

I tend to place orders of huge batches of movies covering a couple of months at a time, and the titles all ship to me individually as they are released.
God bless Shout Factory for this.

I would probably save a decent bit of money by pre-ordering the respective titles from Amazon instead of directly from Shout, but I like supporting the label as best as I can, because they have provided me with a lot of great fun over the years.

And since Universal owns Dreamworks now, who's up for the Ringu movies in a boxset?

I believe it was said that when they got the remake and Land of the Dead, they tried for it as well but simply couldn't afford it because Rubinstein wants too much. (I believe it's rumored to be seven figures!) At this point, I feel like Criterion is probably our only hope for it.

The Dreamworks live action catalog up through ~2010 is owned by Paramount (though it's possible non-US films may have their distribution rights lapse at some point).

Wait a minute! SF and Shout! have a deal with Sony now too?! If so this is awesome news!

Scream Factory having access to Warner and Columbia titles makes me feel like a little kid in a toy store!

JoelGoodsen · 04-16-2018, 08:05 PM

Does that mean they could potentially release SIDEKICKS?

We all need more Chuck Norris in our life.

BarnDoor · 04-16-2018, 08:27 PM

Obviously we don't know at this stage how big the deal with Sony is - nor indeed the precise terms of it, which could hinder the potential for Collector Editions - but still, I've come up with a list of possible titles. Now this is far more complicated than other studios, given the relationships with Twilight Time and in particular Mill Creek. The announcements of The Tingler and Strait-Jacket at least confirms that some titles Mill Creek put out on DVD could be available to Scream. Their arrangement with Sony is obviously peculiar, as that Charles Bronson set confirms, so it could even be that Scream could get access to titles Mill Creek have released on Blu. Anyway, I'm going to separate this list accordingly. Obviously there will be titles I've missed, so just let me know and I'll add them. I expect this is particularly true of post-2000 titles, which seem to be mostly awful in any case.

Also, I'm aware that some of these already have region-free Indicator releases. We can discuss that and other concerns in subsequent posts, this is merely a list of titles.

To start with, titles without a US Blu-ray release (to my knowledge) which do not (yet) appear to have been licenced to Image, Mill Creek or Twilight Time:

[Show spoiler]

Now, titles which have been licenced to Mill Creek for DVD, but have not yet been released by them on Blu-ray (I've omitted Hammer titles since it's likely they'll do any remaining ones):

[Show spoiler]

Now, titles previously released on Blu by Sony, and not subsequently licenced out to Image or Mill Creek for Blu-ray (to my knowledge). I've left out Ghostbusters 1+2 and Bram Stoker's Dracula, since there is no way Scream could top existing releases:

[Show spoiler]

Next, titles released by Twilight Time, now sold out:

[Show spoiler]

Titles licenced to Mill Creek for Blu-ray release. A few of these appear to be OOP (Original When a Stranger Calls, Happy Birthday to Me), and some were already released on Blu by Sony:

[Show spoiler]

And finally (phew), titles licenced to Image for Blu. Again, Apt Pupil at least appears to be OOP:

[Show spoiler]

Maybe Criterion should do Dawn of the Dead 1978 if Rubenstein changes his mind about the money thing.

I can't believe he blew some money on a 3D conversion that never worked.

Yes indeed and WB.

Great job!

Don't forget that Sony also deals with Criterion (see: The Age of Innocence, A Matter of Life and Death), so that further complicates what may come through Shout Factory vs. Criterion/Twilight Time/Mill Creek.

BarnDoor · 04-16-2018, 08:37 PM

True, but I'd be surprised if Criterion were interested in acquiring any of the above titles (Curse/Night of the Demon being the obvious exception).

Body Double & Spider would make sense.
