You're joking, right? Just in the last six months, MGM has released on BD: Death Wish 2/3/4, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Jeepers Creepers, WarGames, Double Impact, Death Warrant, Cyborg, Red Dawn '84, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Sleeper, Hannah and Her Sisters, not to mention anniversary editions of Spaceballs and Princess Bride.

Regarding your other point, concerning a second MGM/Shout deal. I think if both sides are happy with how everything turns out, then it could happen. I know for a fact that Pumpkinhead, Squirm, and New Year's Evil would be at the top of my wish list.

I'm curious, as the scream factory brand is improving with every new release they put out, is it possible in future releases that they might also include a booklet with each release like both arrow and criterion does with a written commentary by a certain writer, etc with facts about the film and such. that would be cool to have as well. Just a thought for down the road.

Are the slipcovers for these releases generally only available in first pressing? If I order They Live off Amazon now is it likely to contain the slip?

I recently bought They Live from Amazon and it came with the slipcover.

If Squirm gets the Scream Factory treatment, there better be the MST3k episode to come with it. I don't care what that idiot director has to say about that show, it's like the law to include that episode.

Hey guys, don't forget that my "A Month to Scream & Shout About" Contest kicks off tonight at 8PM EST. Tune in to test your luck at this week's trivia question and see if you'll walk away with 3 titles from the Roger Corman's Cult Classics collection. Good luck to everyone!

Alright, let's see how I'll do.

Re The Evictors artwork, could you guys produce an insert with the great theatrical poster art? Similar to what Anchor Bay used to do with a card chapter insert with the theatrical artwork on the reverse. That way everyone would be happy

Yes, Shout Factory has been sending out review copies relatively early in the past few months. Occasionally a reviewer will get a copy one month before street date.

I wonder why THE NEST is $25 on Amazon but a double feature (TerrorVision/Video Dead) and a single film (PRISON) is only $20. Just seems a little strange.

[Movie-Brat]

Odd considering the only bonus feature is an audio commentary.

the artwork is featured on the other side of the wrap... but it's not an alternate cover... but the artwork is there.

Cliff I was wondering if you saw my post a while back asking if Freddie Francis' The Ghoul and Legend of the Werewolf were possibilities for the line? Thanks.

How about The Hot Spot w/ Don Johnson?

[dsman71]

Or Die Monster Die, Curse of the Crimson Cult or Reptilicus on the Shout Factory side ?

[Movie-Brat]

Reptilicus would be nice.

[cropsy]

hi cliff,was wondering what are the chances for more episodes of Horrors hallowed grounds as extras on SF releases.ive enjoyed every one ive seen and think sean clark does a great job with them.id imagine there more expensive than most features but i feel they really made the CE of Halloween 2&3 stand out.id love to see more,at least on the l.a. lensed movies.

[NoirFan]

Another vote for more Hallowed Ground episodes! I always enjoy looking at the before and after photos in Horror Hound. That magazine is a lot of fun, but boy do they need a new proofreader - it seems like almost article has spelling mistakes, inaccuracies (incorrect titles, cast or director info), and even the occasional repeated sentence or sentence fragment. Still, I love the layout and especially the Video Invasion articles.
