Hmmm... It was a Fox title? I wonder how the Disney deal will affect further titles from them.
When was the last Fox title? Ravenous?

It could of been from a StudioCanal deal. Kino Insider did state that "two other labels" had obtained a bunch of horror and foreign films.

Am I reading too far into the description where it says it came from Fox's vault?
I honestly don't know much about rights and such.

Whoops. I actually didn't read that part! My mistake.

Edit:
At the same time however, the old Millennium release didn't mention Fox on the back of the packaging under licensed from or the logo. It's not uncommon for Euro films where US cut elements are held at the original US distributor's vaults.

Honestly, I've never bought from them and unless you are into things like the posters (prior to them showing up mangled), I can't think of why one would really buy from them.

In the past, Shout's prices were head and shoulders higher than Amazon's. Even now, Amazon's prices go down to at least Shout's prices within a couple of weeks. I'm not that impatient that their "2 weeks early" selling point ever moved the needle for me and I'm willing to wait a few weeks after release to save a buck on most titles.

And, even if the price is the same on Shout as Amazon, Amazon has free prime shipping vs. a huge shipping bill from Shout.

So, buying on Amazon vs. Shout has always been a no brainer to me. So, I can't say I'm any more dissatisfied with Shout today vs. 3 months ago.

Whoa. How does that happen? Especially since the other caps look, for all intents and purposes, basically the same.

Shout used a poor pre-existing scan for this special color sequence whereas Indicator went to the trouble of securing the best available print and did a new scan.

I just got a shipping notification from Scream like an hr ago. Cant wait to see how the posters look when they arrive. My Creepshows were mutilated.

I got an email saying it would ship before the 27th. Its in stock but they gotta put lithos in tubes. This company is a joke.

Grindhouse Video will have them in store on Wednesday.

Diabolik has them now.

I'm pretty sure that Shout!'s license is directly through Hammer, itself, as was the case when Millennium had released it, previously.

As Dailyan suggested, Fox probably had an IP in it's vault because it had handled the US distribution during it's original theatrical release. It's definitely not s StudioCanal title in North America.

Damn... I live in St. Augustine, but after watching this i'm tempted to make that 3 hour drive one day and check them out.

Me and a friend went to a concert in Tampa back in 2013 before I knew they even existed....definitely would've checked them out then.

"Stay Tuned" does not fit into the Scream line at all. That would be more Shout Select if anything.
