I always use those prepaid cards to order stuff online. I never use my actual debit card.

They still ship items when they become available. Last week, I preordered some of the April titles, and I purchased some titles from the John Carpenter sale on the same order, and the available titles shipped the day I ordered them.

I normally use Paypal for shopping online. I don’t even have it attached to a bank account anymore - I just load with cash. All you have to do is get the PP app on your phone, choose a participating store in your area from the list and generate a barcode for the cashier to scan. You can deposit anywhere from $20-$500 a day (I think it’s up to $4,500 per month) this way. There’s a fee of $3-$4 each time you load cash.

They still have not even updated that on their website FAQ. The "Your card will only be charged when an item has been confirmed as shipped by our warehouse." is no longer accurate.

I wish all companies did this. Over time I’ve become a non-fan of charge-when-it-ships. Would rather have the money taken out right away.
Pretty much every Asian boutique label does this. If, for some reason, the item doesn’t happen, I will receive a refund.

I would seriously looove a collector's edition of Jawbreaker! One of top ten favorite movies... and since it's with sony... I'd expect it to show up sooner or later.... rose McGowan really hits her mark in this role and nails it completely...

Will 2019 be the year we finally get Alligator? I know it's a dream title of more than one person within the company and presumably they've tried to acquire it in the past. Not sure what the issue is, but I'm hoping we'll get it at some point.

Whenever I see that title I get heart palpitations. It desperately needs some love on bluray.

Awesome! Thanks to your initial post (and after buying the H3 Steelbook on Amazon) I went to Hamilton's site and picked up the H2 steel for $20 and the RZ Halloween Blu-Ray 2-pack Theatrical Cuts for $8! Now my Halloween set is even more complete haha.

Nice! I grabbed the RZ 2 pack as well! Great price.

If anyone missed the last price drop, Valentine dropped to $26.39 on amazon.ca again. Not a bad price!

I bought this sucker a few years ago from Spain and it's pretty darn good. It's been a while since I watched it so I can't remember if it's region free. It might be region B but it's a great get if you are region free:

Does Scream ever have sales? Nearly all of their titles are $20+.

Also, is their any sort of membership rewards or anything?

The "sales" on Shout's website are a joke, they're marked down to a mindblowing $21.99 before shipping. They sometimes get cheaper at amazon or best buy but I haven't seen really any of them drop below $18

I've been looking through their catalogue and a lot of their titles are indeed available on Amazon for slightly less money (and free shipping). Shout's shipping fee is excessive unless you spend the $50+ to get it for free. It seems the only benefit from ordering through Shout is the posters/accessories they sometimes include with preorders and such. However, those add-ons seem to make the price inflate even more if I'm not mistaken.

Sorry, for some reason I thought it was Diabolik I asked about yesterday. Should have checked. Not sure how I doubled up on the same question. My work-life balance has me tired and my brain is in a funk.

There will be a sale next month. Don’t expect great deals though.

No! Their sales are mostly bullshit, and there is no membership rewards.
