Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

We don't know much about January right? Body Parts, Lets Scare Jessica and that's it right? I know Pet Sematary II is in Feb, but we don't have much beyond that correct? I'm hoping we get some good surprises next week then.

As things stand:

January - Let's Scare Jessica to Death, Body Parts, Slumber Party Massacre Steelbook (with new 4K restoration)

February - My Bloody Valentine CE, Pet Sematary 2 CE


So you would hope we might get another 3-4 January announcements next week (or it might be the week after on recent form, they left it until around the 7th this month)

I'm hoping for maybe more Fox titles and hopefully their deal doesn't end with the Fly. More Paramount would be great, but I'm thinking we won't get anymore until March, but would love to be wrong. As always, I'm hoping for a new Warner deal. I still can't believe Alone in the Dark wasn't part of the first deal.

[JoelGoodsen]

Cmac, would love to see this one get a shot at a release

I had no idea they're reissuing SPM as a steelbook - may have to grab that. I just hope they don't use the same type of art as the Corman steels. They need to set this apart from those.

Here's hoping that the official features reveal for this one reveals that parts 2 and 3 are also being included (thus bringing them back in print) as "special features" for folks that still need them.

What's left for Hammer horror and Universal horror? That's been the big go to content filler for the last 6+ months so I could see more of those types of films being announced if there is much left. If/when those announcements out it will be very interesting to see what else pops up as it could give us a clue as to the next few months. Obvious wants aside (Warner/Paramount) I could see more MGM or Universal or possibly even Studio Canal stuff this winter along with a small smattering of Corman properties.

The Rock n Roll High School steel looks nice. All the other steels they released have shit commissioned artwork which is probably what the SPM steel is gonna have.

Pretty sure they have Freaked coming at least. And we're still waiting on The Terminator, providing it is Shout who has it (and not Criterion).

[Mikezilla3k]

On a side note, I asked Shout if they were planning Collector's Editions for Exorcist: The Beginning and Dominion: Prequel To The Exorcist and they said that they don't have any plans at this time.

[kraven]

That is their response to any title you ask about. Means nothing.

Aside from Demons of the Mind, I'm not convinced that Scream will have any more StudioCanal titles. It appears Kino has Deep Star Six, Antichrist and Murder by Decree. The only other title we know is definitely with SC but doesn't seem to be with Kino is Bloodmoon (1990). Then there are a few horror films that may or may not be with SC in the US (the Kino Insider thinks they aren't, but then he said that of a few other titles that turned out to be with Scream, namely Fright, Circus of Horrors and Fear No Evil) - Theatre of Death, Twisted Nerve, I Monster, Food of the Gods 2, The Johnsons. It could be that one or more of these is with Scream, but obviously that will only be if SC holds the US rights.

There's still a fair few Hammer films. I think the last StudioCanal title - Demons of the Mind - will almost certainly be released in January. Similarly, two titles from the Hammer estate - Rasputin the Mad Monk and The Mummy's Shroud - are likely high up on the agenda. That would realistically leave the following titles from the Hammer deal:

X The Unknown
The Lost Continent
Four Sided Triangle
Slave Girls (AKA Prehistoric Women)
The Viking Queen

I think all of these would require new HD masters, so they may take longer. Moreover, they might not release all of them (I think X The Unknown and The Lost Continent are probable, not sure about the other 3).

On top of this, there are Hammer titles from the major studios they may have:

Curse of Frankenstein (WB) (Rumour persists they have this)
Crescendo (WB) (Rumour has it they have this also)
Hysteria (WB)
She (WB)
Moon Two Zero (WB)
Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (Paramount)
Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter (Paramount)
The Nanny (Fox)
The Anniversary (Fox)
Shadow of the Cat (Universal)
The Damned (Sony)
The Stranglers of Bombay (Sony)
The Terror of the Tongs (Sony)
Creatures the World Forgot (Sony)

I know these releases would drive the guys who want more 80's stuff insane but I would LOVE to have these on blu. You've got Barbara Payton who I have had a thing for since I watched Bride of the Gorilla as kid, Bette Davis at her most wicked and evil, Ursula Andress at her most beautiful (ok she looked great in Dr. No too), Martine Beswick at her campiest and The Viking Queen which has no vikings. Yeah, I would buy these up in a second....

[BarnDoor]

Since TripleHBK also asked what was left of Universal classic horror/sci-fi stuff, I think we're down to these:

Murder by the Clock
Secret of the Blue Room
The Mystery of Edwin Drood
The Missing Guest
Night Key
The Cat and the Canary
The Monster and the Girl
Night Monster
The Mystery of Marie Roget
The Climax
Flesh and Fantasy
The Inner Sanctum Mysteries (6 films)
Captive Wild Woman
Jungle Woman
Jungle Captive
House of Horrors
The Cat Creeps
The Spider Woman Strikes Back
The Black Castle

Curucu, Beast of the Amazon
Curse of the Undead
The Thing That Couldn't Die
Cult of the Cobra
The Incredible Shrinking Man


It's worth noting however that on the recent podcast Cliff mentioned them now going in chronological order, which might mean that they don't have the following:

Murder by the Clock
Secret of the Blue Room
The Mystery of Edwin Drood
The Missing Guest
Night Key
The Cat and the Canary

It could be that Kino have Cat and the Canary, or perhaps Scream do and plan on a single release. But of these, I'm surprised they don't appear to have Night Key - admittedly it's not strictly horror, but it does star Karloff.

If they have the Inner Sanctum Mysteries, that will surely comprise a set in its own right. And if they do go down that route, I could see there being at least two other Universal Horror Collections, maybe three. What I'm not sure about is the remaining 50s stuff. Incredible Shrinking Man would definitely be a solo release (though rumours persist it's with Criterion). Cult of the Cobra is another of the old Universal sci-fi set titles, so they may also decide to give that a solo release as they've done with the rest. That would at least leave scope for a final 50s-themed set which could include The Black Castle, Curucu Beast of the Amazon, Curse of the Undead and The Thing That Couldn't Die.

I would love a twisted nerve blu!

Inner Sanctum Mysteries and The Black Castle I want very bad ! I Love those movies I hope they get released soon.

Yeah, I REALLY hope these Universal sets continue to sell well. I want them ALL.
I wonder if we will ever find out what the problem was with Isle of the Dead...

[BarnDoor]

I believe the Kino Insider said the Inner Sanctum Mysteries were with another label, so that surely bodes well for a Scream release.

[LeeFanatic007]

Keep the Hammer stuff coming. I'm currently caught up on all the Hammer releases, and I've pre-ordered the other 4 coming this year. My most wanted for unannounced titles are: Demons of the Mind, Rasputin, The Mummy's Shroud, The Curse of Frankenstein, Captain Kronos, Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell and She. I'll buy the others but these are the ones I really want the most.

Can't wait for Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde, one of the very few I've never owned or even seen. The DVD was just way too expensive.
