Let's hope you're right. Would gladly pick a CE of Road Warrior.

Those were my predictions not my wishes. I don't think they have FN 2.

Hoping For:

Valentine
Single White Female
Eyes of a Stranger
Cry_Wolf
Cruising
Cheerleader Camp
Alone in the Dark
Cabin by the Lake/Return to Cabin by the Lake
Killer Party
Terror Tract

Also, not likely, but hoping they release some obscure slasher films:
Honeymoon Horror
Fatal Games
Silent Madness
Edge of the Axe
Rush Week
Island of Blood (aka Whodunit)
Home for the Holidays
Fatal Pulse
Out of the Dark
Hotline

Hoping for Crash! Between them, Warner Archive, Criterion, I just want it!

Not predictions because they never come true half of the time.

Critters set.
Fright Night 2
I would like Stay Tuned like others have said.
Candyman

I usually get at least one title right. The Critters boxset seems like a no brainer so this year I'm probably guaranteed.

I feel like Wolf Creek is perfect for a Scream Factory Collectors Edition (or Arrow), and would love to hear that announced.

I'd also like to see The Ghost and the Darkness, and think that would be a little more appropriate for Shout Select than Scream Factory - but either way would be cool.

A lot of good picks/predictions that I would agree with, but a lot of them are available on other blu ray editions...I'd love to see Scream/Shout Factory really focus on movies that aren't even available in the format.

Hmmmm...

It looks like The Road Warrior and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome are OOP. Also all, but the 40th anniversary box for The Exorcist appear to be OOP.

[BarnDoor]

Interesting. Do we know if any other Warner titles (for which they still retain the rights) are OOP?

It's more likely that the Lionsgate license has run out on the home video rights. NBC owns the series as best I can tell and NBC utilizes Universal studios for their film catalog so Shout Factory likely used it's existing relationship with Universal to get this series.

Lionsgate may have lost the rights, and Shout picked them up. Previous SBTB DVDs were released by Image before Lionsgate got the rights.

The Road Warrior with a new restoration would make my decade

I could see a Mad Max trilogy coming from SF. All of them could use a new scan.

Twilight zone the movie, Dr. Giggles/Otis...

Oh those I know about I still can't see the former happening, Dr Giggles probably.

I dumped my German edition of Dr. Giggles, expecting SF to release it at some point. Heard the German edition was cut anyway.

Well, that's okay, just crush my hopes. Makes sense though. Too bad really because the Vestron thing looked so promising, but they're really taking their time with it and from what I've read the transfers aren't all that great. Would be nice to see a group who really dedicates some serious time to getting everything out there.

These titles appear to be newly OOP, as well, as they are not yet listed in the OOP thread.



The standalone editions for Seven and The Devil's Advocate appear to be OOP as standalones, though they are still available as part of a 3-pack.

I'd be surprised if they went for Baby Jane or House of Wax (is there really much potential for upgrading these? Pre-1970 CE's would also mark a departure for them). I guess Spawn is a possibility, especially with a new film in the works. But Freddy vs Jason surely seems the most likely there.

With the current Friday the 13th Lawsuit in place regarding no new material being able to be created, I wonder how that would affect existing releases. I'm curious if Freddy vs Jason and/or the Remake are affected limiting say, the creation of commissioned artwork or new special features? If so, that could lead to a bit of a problem as it relates to the inclusion of FvJ in any future Nightmare set, and/or could also prevent the release of an unrated cut of Jason goes to Hell and Jason X.
