Monkey Shines, Witch Board, Final Exam and TerrorVision CE standalones with new scans plus extras would make me a happy boy!

TerrorVision already has a commentary and a 35-40 minute documentary...

The only one that I can think of that is a favorite is The Car. Not sure what extras they could do though.

Witchboard was originally planned as a Collectors edition but some of the planned special features fell through so it became a standard release.

I won't be double dipping on any standard to Collectors edition upgrades in my estimation, but I do agree that Witchboard would have been a logical choice as would have Phantom of the Opera.

Jeff said that they looked for the missing footage from Ghost Story but weren't successful. Certainly wasn't for the lack of trying.

As for what's missing from the book-to-screen adaptation, as much as I enjoy the film that we got, I really think it would have done better as a TV miniseries. The book was pretty much gutted to make the film.

Wasn't this initially planned as a miniseries? Be great if they could do this today, on AMC or something, much like they've done with Dan Simmons' the Terror. Imagine how cool Ghost Story would be with AMC production values and sets, all shot by talented directors. Then again, you could say that for a lot of the great horror novels. Peter Straub has not been represented well in film, which is a given being that he deals in complex characters and meandering plots, but I'd love to see something like Koko come to miniseries. Or Talisman.

hoping we get a Stepfather CE at some point, Their first release was before they even started the scream branding I believe, or a trilogy set if they do indeed have the rights now to all 3.

I second the stepfather CE

Me too, Sci-fi and Van Demme fans would buy it instantly.

I saw ROTLD 2 in theaters when i was 6 years old with my dad as i saw the original on HBO and enjoyed it.

How about a boxset?

I stand corrected, I would upgrade my existing copy of The Stepfather to a remastered or freshly scanned collectors edition. I agree that a box set is the way to go for this franchise. I'd happily pick up all 3.

Maybe they might announce a boxset and fans would buy it instantly eh?

Now that Scream Factory owns a considerable chunk of the Corman Library, I'd say the chances are very, very high.

[SonnybytheSea]

Here's a list of what I would want for future SF releases:
Obsession (1976)
The Fury (1978) with deleted scenes
Body Double (1984)
Invitation to Hell (1984)
Chiller (1985)
Night Visions (1990)
The Stranger Within (1990)
Christine (1983)
Starman (1984)
Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
Escape from L.A. (19996)
Vampires (1998)
Ghosts of Mars (2001)
The Ward (2010)
The Blood on Satan's Claw (1971)
Alison's Birthday (1981)
Next of Kin (1982)
Road Games (1981)
Funeral Home (1980)
Happy Birthday to Me (1981)
My Bloody Valentine (1981)
April Fool's Day (1986) with deleted scenes
Turkey Shoot (1982)
Wolf Creek (2005)
Wolf Creek 2 (2013)
The Loved Ones (2009)
Shivers (1975)
Pin (1988)

I purposely left off WB films since I already have a list posted on here, these are mainly Sony, Paramount, FOX and other Canadian, British and Australian films.

[JackForrester]

My Bloody Valentine with the deleted footage properly restored would be terrific.

[Jobla]

OBSESSION (1976) would be best released by Twilight Time, because they would isolate the great Bernard Herrmann score on an audio track. Scream usually doesn't isolate the music scores.

From Scream, I'd like to see:

PRIVATE PARTS (Paul Bartel, 1972)
THE BLACK ZOO
HOMICIDAL
DEMENTIA 13
WICKED, WICKED

Most definitely with the restored footage, they only reason I didn't put that in my original post was because at this point it should be obviouse with whatever dirstributor gets i!!!

Maybe SF will get wise to the isolated audio track for Obsession (1976), My big issue with TT is the bare-bones extras on most of their releases unless it's ported over from a DVD release.

I do believe with the WB deal we will get Private Parts (1972) and I can definitely see Homicidal (1961) getting a release in the future. Wicked, Wicked (1973) and Black Zoo (1963) are a possibility with that WB deal. Dementia 13 (1963) is a possibility with the Corman deal plus it's early Francis Ford Coppola, but it did have a ok Blu release through HD Cinema Classics/Film Chest Media Group! so who knows......

I think Kino might do Bloody Valentine and April Fools Day. Pin is with Arrow and i believe they are gonna do a BD.

Shivers is with Lionsgate so i think Vestron might have plans to do a BD.

Christine, Starman and Vampires are contenders.
