Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

The aforementioned delayed Hammer titles could mean we go a month without a new Hammer announcement for the first time in a long while. As for the other regular programmer, there are 3 more 50s Universal sci-fi films left, though I wouldn't be surprised if The Incredible Shrinking Man was with another label.

I'm hoping for a StudioCanal title myself. Something like Deep Star Six or Murder By Decree would be great. We know Kino still have a few but Scream must have more beyond Vice Squad and (presumably) some of the SC Hammer titles.

Any guesses as to the contents of the Universal set? I'd be kind of shocked if RUE MORGUE weren't in this set.

Yeah I imagine they'll go Karloff/Lugosi heavy again, but then it might be an idea to hold some back to help shift subsequent volumes - should they decide to do any of course.

Whatever the CE ends up being, I'm guessing it will come from the 80's or 90's given how the last few months have shaped up. Come on Sorority House Massacre 2 CE.

Fantastic! Val Lewton & Jacques Tourneur. These series of Val Lewton films have been a wonderful upgrade from the old set.

Is the International version the version that contains the extra kill found on the Japanese release?

As far as I knew, Scream Factory's release already has that bit reinstated. Prior to that, all international versions had that part (a beheading) missing, except the Japanese release. I had the VHS of it during the 80's and in Australia that part was cut.

Really wish they'd gotten someone from the cast involved. After seeing Rachel True on the Horror Noire documentary, it would've been great to have an interview with her just about The Craft.

Yeah I was disappointed that no one from the cast is on any of the features.

I’m thrilled about these re-releases for Piranha and Humanoids from the Deep, since they’re both top-notch drive-in horror flicks in my collection. I hope that we get similar reissues of Forbidden World, Galaxy of Terror, Death Race 2000, Battle Beyond the Stars, and Rock ‘N’ Roll High School at some point.

The late 1970s-early 1980s Roger Corman flicks are golden.


Corman gives audiences what they want in terms of nudity and gore, but his productions are always good-natured and fun instead of being mean-spirited or vile.

When pre ordering from them...do they charge you right now or when the item ships? Thanks

[Wizard-of-Wars]

It would be amazing if Scream or Shout could get ahold of the rights to ENEMY MINE. I have the bare bones Twilight Time release...and the region B steelbook. But how awesome would it be to finally get some special features for this classic??!!

[LaisyFaire]

If I wanted to pre-order the Humanoids from the Deep and Piranha steelbooks, is there a way for me to order them without getting the lithograph? I'm not sure what to do with them when I get them and they get tossed in a closet or something somewhere where they're not doing me any good.

Assuming they will be widely available, you could just preorder from Amazon, Best Buy, etc. They won’t have the lithograph.

Why not just sell them and make some money back?

I ordered through Amazon Pay today, since I was in a hurry at the time in my office. I got the email earlier this evening that I had been charged through Amazon Pay already.

[Catastrophe]

Another Fox title that I hope Scream Factory looks into: Ghost in the Machine.

[DukeTogo84]

Still hoping for Death Sentence with Kevin Bacon.

Mondo was supposed to release the never-before-heard soundtrack for Freaked last Fall, but so far nothing. 2019 will be a banner year if we get a Freaked blu AND the soundtrack.

Because a lot of people (including me) think it's a pain to do. (Though I understand you don't.)
