Hopefully Fire in the Sky is not too far behind...

I remember people saying 15 titles and there is only 14. I guess something fell though for these announcements and will later.

French BD probably looked worse to them because the 4k transfer lacks the strong magenta push and EE the old master has. Granted compression may not have been great but it's known those two releases are using Fox's 4k master.

Last year I seem to remember being able to preorder Nov and Dec titles during the announcements. Doesn’t seem to be the case now?

I’m down for
Road Games
MBV (my disc doesn’t have the bronzing issue but I imagine they will go out for this)
Pet Semetary 2
The Fan
Body Parts
Slumber Party Massacre 4k

[Kill Bren]

With the exception of Pet Sematary Two, this is one damn fine line-up.

[Rzzzz]

Looking at my Paramount want list (of which The Prophecy is one), I can see a LOT of titles that would be perfect Shout/Scream releases. I really hope the deal they made with them is extensive...

I’ll buy it and put the disc in the blu Ray Case. I like the old cover art

That's what I do to them all.

[Nailwraps]

Though I'm not a fan of MBV, I'm happy to see this finally getting released again.

I'm also happy to see confirmation of a new Paramount deal. Including Disney, Shout! now has a deal with every major movie studio!

More importantly, I can now see my favorite Paramount titles get the love they so rightfully deserve!

I'll be shocked if it isn't. I expect that by this time next year we'll have that, April Fools Day, Tales from the Darkside the Movie, and a "The Ring" Collection in hand on top of what we already had announced today and more.

I suspect a Friday the 13th set will be off limits, but I'd love to see a Paranormal Activity set with the original Screamfest cut of the first film and the never before seen alternate cut of the 3rd film included.

And if that weren’t enough good news, we’ll add some more! We have even more titles and deals in the works that should take us through the end of 2020 if all goes accordingly to plan. So if you didn’t see one of your favorites here, it may very well be in progress for near year and announced in the future.

December is going to be stacked, so much for getting presents for other people!

[The Great Owl]

This is an outstanding announcement lineup.

The Abominable Snowman, Let's Scare Jessica to Death, and Prophecy are the ones that really gets my motors running.

I'm looking forward to double-dipping on Road Games, My Bloody Valentine, and Silver Bullet as well, though.

Also... It will be great to have Curse of the Fly on Blu-ray, finally.

[Puffy]

lol a NECA of Russ Thorn. I’m not big on those, I don’t own any and they’ve never really appealed to me.

But I would buy a Harry Warden/MBV figure in a heartbeat.

[oilers73]

Wonder if My Bloody Valentine will have the extra footage restored. If not, I'll just keep the original release. Looking forward to hearing what the extras will be for Big Trouble in Little China.

I can do without the others.

[xXx$uicide_Ma$terxXx]

Slumber Party Massacre steelbook with Slumber Party Massacre trilogy boxset in the future?

[Mose Harper]

Outstanding lineup!

I figured that if they really did have a deal with Paramount, Prophecy would have to certain to come along at some point. Never expected it before the end of the year!
Kinda sucks that I already had my anniversary viewing of the DVD- which looked far worse than I ever remembered it being. I also had to admit to myself that the film really is a dog. Good actors, beautiful location, serious themes, but damn! does it get bad movie laughable at points.
Still day one for me, as I just have to big a nostalgic investment in it to ever truly hate it.

Even bigger is the news of the color Dracula finally returning after almost thirty years.
In a way, that's almost as huge a deal as wresting the Paramount license. Never expected that to happen.

Wow. I'm floored at how great this turned out. For an extra cherry on top, ditch the MAP and I'll pre-order half of them as soon as they go up.

I would buy the Prophecy bear....

You always know when a film is getting re-releaed or upgraded. At least 4 "OOP" copies of My Bloody Valentine already up at Ebay.

[MTRodaba2468]

I'm glad to see My Bloody Valentine is coming back in print; I've got a copy of the Lionsgate disc, which still works, but the worry about the disc no longer working has lingered in the back of my mind. Assuming Scream carries over both cuts, I can finally relax...

I could possibly see a newer transfer being used (like with The Omen box set), and maybe a new bonus feature or two, but yeah I don't see it being THAT different compared to the original Blu-Ray, which already had a decent amount of extras anyway, IIRC.

That said, I LOVE Cronenberg's The Fly, and I enjoy the other films enough where I won't have any qualms getting it...

And I do like seeing “Rigid Slipcase” and “individual cases” for the Fly set!

Big Trouble In Little China has a new 4K transfer making the rounds, so I could see Shout using it for their release. Their claims that it'll be the "definitive" release make me wonder if they've got all the extras from the Arrow release along with the Fox extras (along with anything else they've got lined up).

And the rigid slipcases/individual cases have been their motif for the "deluxe" box sets they've put out; see: Halloween, The Omen, Critters, etc. It's why some people here have really wanted to see them give A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th the same treatment...
