This is still available.

I think he was being facetious.....

Still wishing Scream would release Outpost, which is owned by Sony. This is a very underrated military horror film, and the sub-par sequels all have HD editions. I think it's gathered somewhat of a cult following over the years.

Dan Myrick's the Objective is similar, too. I own it on an import Blu-ray, but I'd love to see it get a stateside release.

You know what would get my Scream Factory blood boiling again? Collector's Editions of Mothman Prophecies and The Cave. Those two are the only Sony titles I can think of off hand at the moment - I'm sure there are others that could use upgrades. Oh, and The Forsaken, a really good Near Dark wannabe. I don't know what's going on at SF - have they changed direction completely and are now only picking up golden age films?

Speaking of Sony, I felt like revisiting Starman so I popped in my Sony BD. I'd forgotten how good this film is. I'd also forgotten it was directed by John Carpenter. Beautiful cinematography in this one and the Sony BD really makes it shine. This definitely does not need a new scan but I'm still sticking with my stance that I don't need to double dip for extras. Now I'm really hoping for a UHD to get even more out of that gorgeous transfer.

This one has been OOP for a while. Think it was part of the same round of releases as Urban Legend, Ghosts of Mars, etc. My guess is it's only a matter of time before Shout releases at least the first as a collector's edition.

I too would like to see The Mothman Prophecies and The Forsaken get a release (I'm not familiar with The Cave). I could see these being saved for their Comic Con announcements next month.

The Mothman Prophecies would be great!

Got super lucky and snagged a new copy of Evilspeak at a horror convention yesterday for $10!

There will never be a Blu-ray of Romero's Dawn of the Dead. Rubenstein is sitting on it and demanding a licensing fee that no boutique studio can afford. I'm glad I bought the Anchor Bay DVD box back in the day.

It is already available not only in Blu-ray, but on 4K in other regions/countries outside of the US.

Second Sight is supposed to release an R2 set in 4K with the 3 versions this summer-let's see if it happens.

Summer is a very generous estimate. I honestly don't see this being released before Halloween at the earliest.

I’m willing to almost guarantee SF announces an IKWYDLS Collectors Edition and ISKWYDLS standard release at CC like with Urban Legend & Urban Legend Final Cut last year

What I would like to see:
From the Sony catalog:
ISKWYDLS (Trilogy box set)
HIDEWAY
BATS
THE OUTPOST
THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES

From the Warner catalog:
DEADLY FRIEND
ALONE IN THE DARK (1982)
TH13EN GHOSTS

And surprises like:
BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA

And my forever request:
***FRIGHT NIGHT PART II***

When they do a IKWYDLS Collectors edition I'm pretty sure ISKWYDLS will also be a Collector's Edition...

Also since October will apparently be light... I really hope we get some real Gems... like Fright Night 2 would definitely do it...

I’m still waiting on Eyes of a Stranger and He Knows You’re Alone.

Here's hoping! I may be in the minority here, but I actually prefer ISKWYDLS to the original (despite my avatar being in the original :P) and I'd love to finally have some special features.

What about the Scream movies being released by Scream Factory?

After reading this, I ordered a copy via Amazon.ca, for $23.44 US total. The delivery date is July 9-August 6! I'm not hopeful that it will ultimately ship, but we'll see.

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer features a dreadlocked Jack Black. That's a win in my book.
