I know I said this was coming tomorrow but I figured what the hey... Here's the official announcement video for my "A Month to Scream & Shout About" contest! Be sure to watch to learn all the details about scoring free Shout / Scream Factory titles. Enjoy!

Thanks Frightener! I'll be entering as many as I can!!

On a side note, I know Scream put out The Funhouse, but does anyone have and can recommend The Funhouse via Arrow?

I'm an absolute sucker for special features and it seems packed with them, does anyone have the set? Region free?

I have Day and Dawn from Arrow, but not all the special features are region-free.

It's making me lean towards a region-free player, but I'd like to hold off if I can.

I own Arrow's Funhouse Blu-ray. It's region free and awesome in every respect.

The first pressing was region free. After that, they released it locked to region B.

Really? Lame.

JYokogawa · 01-30-2013, 01:00 AM

That's quite interesting. They keep pushing me further that way towards getting a region free player! I guess instead I'll start investing in a good region free player.

Frightener22 you are the man!

I noticed that Anchor Bay no longer has the original "Wicker Man" listed on their site. That got me excited, because it frees it up for Shout Factory to have at it possibly. THEN I checked out who has the rights to liscense it out and it was complicated as MANY companies have put it out, but Warner stood ut as the original distributor and their remake means they had or secured the rights during that time...

So cross The Wicker Man off your list.

I believe it's in the Studio Canal library so.... It's with Lionsgate

Correct.

psychocinderellax · 01-30-2013, 06:25 AM

Scorpion Releasing teased a new title being announced this week as "an animal horror film from the same period as Day of the Animals and Grizzly.

I can only think of maybe "Willard", "Ben", "Frogs", or "Piranha 2".

Anyone got a better guess so we can rule it out for Scream Factory?!??

Like I said it was very contradictory when I seached for it. But thanks for clearing that up!

I would say LONG WEEKEND. Walter is a fan of Australian horror.

Wondering what chances does Scream have at getting Russell Mulcahy's Razorback? To my knowledge this never even received a US DVD release. Would be nice to have this one on Blu.

But it is no longer region free. The second printing of the slipcase was locked, and the new unlimited edition would be too.

It's a fantastic package though, but if you want it, you need to track down the first pressng

Studio Canal will likely be releasing it on BD in the UK later this year, but no word yet on which cut it will be.

Blu2u · 01-30-2013, 02:56 PM

I think you guys missed the fact that he said it was released on DVD before and NOT in widescreen. That eliminates everything on your lists except Piranha 2, which I am pretty sure is with Sony.

Blu MacReady · 01-30-2013, 03:28 PM

Based in the Uk. Received 'The Nest' yesterday, 2wks before release date. Great and totally unexpected...Is this normal from Shout/Scream? I have so far only bought titles which are already out, not pre-orders.

Bought this on UK DVD yesterday in HMV for £2.20. Blind buy, is this title good enough for Scream?
