Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

Cool, I was actually just about to ask about Knightriders, what with the Arrow disc just being announced.

Knightriders is one of the few Romero films I haven't seen yet, so this is awesome to hear! I wish they could also get "Martin" from Lionsgate. It's one of my favorite films of his and I would love to have it on blu-ray.

It stars Stephen King in one of his very rare performances on screen.

I hope Cmac will confirm this soon.
Because if it's sure that it gets a Scream Factory treatment (even if it gets a release in 2014) then I won't buy the Arrow disc and I'll wait for their version.
I have much more confidence in Shout's work.
And I much prefer their artworks and their slipcases

(plus now that all their releases have SDH subs I'm in heaven!!!)

Knightriders baby! That Arrow set looks pretty awesome but I felt it missing just one thing, an interview with George A. Romero. Scream/Shout Factory need to see if they can get all Arrow's extras plus a interview with the man himself. I've been wanting this title for awhile now. This film is really great and heartwarming. Tom Savini is great in it. This movie stands out from Romero's filmography but oddly fits at the same time. Its a fun, fun film.

Since this news broke tonight from Cliff on Facebook, it's probably too early to tell if this will be in the Scream Factory library or simply treated as just a cult release by Shout Factory. Either way I'll be adding this to my collection since this is one of the few Romero films I haven't seen.

Will TerrorVision and The Video Dead be on one disc or separate discs?

It will be a Blu-ray / DVD combo pack with both films on each, not 2 Blu-rays for each separate film.

You guys ever see the movie Blood Link from 82? Just watched it and I thought it was pretty good...I enjoyed it.

There's not much to this at all, I'm just looking forward to hooking some likely people up with cool prizes.

That said, I felt it was important to note that I am not affiliated with nor work for Shout Factory (although, I certainly wouldn't mind it). This contest is being done simply because I've always appreciated what Shout has done as a business and I love continuing to spread the good word about them. Shout Factory is a North American company which only caters to the USA and Canada so the contest will only be open to citizens of these territories. Please understand that as much as I'd love to ship all over the world to some lucky winners that could get very more expensive for me. All of the titles are being bought brand-new and out of my own pocket so I hope the fact that I am only opening this up to US and Canadian fans doesn't disappoint too many of you.


RULES:
Since Shout Factory is all about treating pop culture with the highest respect, the contest will be conducted in the form of trivia questions that I will ask each week that have to do with anything from movies to television to cartoons. The first person to correctly answer the trivia question each week and post it in the comments will be the winner. From there, I will contact you via PM and you will have 2 days to supply me with your name and shipping address before the jig is up and another winner is crowned instead.

PRIZES:
Finally, the most important part... the prizes! I will be keeping them a secret for now but at the end of each week's video I will tell you in general terms what kind of titles will be up next. For example, the first week's prizes are for Roger Corman's Cult Classics titles, I'm not stating which one(s) but you now know it will be from that library. For what it's worth, I have already selected what the prizes will be and trust me when I tell you I am giving away some really awesome stuff! I hope this will be as much fun for you guys as it will be for me! Below, I have provided a breakdown of important dates to keep in mind. Good luck to all of you guys!

IMPORTANT DATES:

Wednesday, January 30th - "A Month to Scream & Shout About" Contest Announcement Video

Wednesday, February 6th - Roger Corman's Cult Classics

Wednesday, February 13th - ????

Wednesday, February 20th - ????

Wednesday, February 27th - ????

I'm so stoked for this! just a quick question, want to really make sure i have the rules right, you will ask the trivia question on your youtube and we will post the answers in this forum?

[Movie-Brat]

If I may suggest, perhaps the prize for February 13th should be a winner's choice? Scream Factory title or not.

TerrorVisision is just weeks away! I've been waiting decades for this thing and it's just in arms reach now. 80's gold. Having The Video Dead is just a excellent bonus for me.

Sounds like a great disc but I find it odd that TerrorVision does not have the trailer. They must have run out of room on the disc or something. Oh well, its not a deal breaker, just it would have been nice.

No, the answer has to be submitted in the comments section under my video on YouTube each week.
