Anyone have a list of all the MGM titles that *could* end up going OOP?

[mca213]

F*ck me, i just ordered New Years Evil and Invaders from Mars

[redrunner97]

I also had to grab New Year's Evil off Amazon for $17.00 shipped. Couldn't pass it up, I'm a sucked for slashers (even the not so great ones).

Kino also has stated that about 200 of their titles will be going OOP over the next year due to low sales.

Any ideas on titles from KL? Thanks for the heads up

KL mentioned some of them. They also mentioned more titles will be announced. Many of them are supposed to be in the November sale.

So in light of this latest round of titles going out of print I've gone back to the original post and added **Out of Print** to titles which have sadly gone out of print. If folks would like to look the list over and let me know if I've missed anything I'd be most appreciative.

The list of titles was longer than I expected and will only continue to grow moving forward.

Let Universal know you want us to release them. They won’t let them go because CP is an active franchise. I’ve begged many times for them... at least a few times a year.

[TripleHBK]

Thank you for continuing to try to get them. Hopefully one day they'll change their tune and we can finally get the deluxe Collectors editions both films deserve.

I guess that also explains why Tremors hasn't received the Scream Factory treatment.

Decided to take advantage of the Target B2G1 to put a dent in my Shout/Scream wishlist. Ordered:

I can confirm it's uncut. That said, it's also Region B locked, so those in the US without region B players are out of luck.

That said, I could possibly see Swamp Thing getting rereleased (by someone, if not Scream), just due to the DC connections alone.

Why is it that Scream Factory/Shout don't provide screeners to http://www.dvdbeaver.com ?

[BarnDoor]

Given the rumours it's no surprise to see a bunch of Arkoff AIP titles appear on various Shout streaming services. I don't know if all of these will appear on Blu (I think they'd be very wise to double features in any case), but as of now I spy these (more will surely be added):

Blood of Dracula
The Cat Girl
Voodoo Woman
The Undead

But perhaps more interesting still is the very recent addition of Gordon Films titles to Shout's streaming services, either direct or via Amazon (some in HD). These include:

The Haunted Strangler
Corridors of Blood
Blood of the Vampire
Horror Hospital
Devil Doll
Curse of the Voodoo
Tomb of Torture
The Playgirls and the Vampire
Fiend Without a Face
The Atomic Submarine
First Man Into Space

In addition, I believe the following titles are also with Gordon Films, so it will be interesting to see if they are added in due course:

Naked Evil (AKA Exorcism at Midnight)
Inseminoid

If Shout have purchased/licenced the Gordon Films catalogue, might we see Blu-rays of these at some point? Criterion's Monsters and Madmen DVD set is showing as currently unavailable on Criterion's store, and while their Fiend Without A Face set is still available, who knows for how much longer. Of course, Shout may well decide to renew Criterion's licence (should Criterion wish to renew it), and they may also elect to licence some titles out to other labels. That said, if they apparently plan on releasing Arkoff titles on Blu, surely they'd find merit in the Gordon Films ones?

[GrimJester]

Nice catch, hope it means something.

Is The Undead streaming in OAR? I do not believe I have had the pleasure. Corridors of Blood is streaming in HD and Blood of the Vampire, nice, I know what I'm watching tonight. I'll have to check the others.

I don't believe The Undead is, though I read that elsewhere, so don't take it for gospel.

I'm not sure about Curse of the Voodoo, but all the other Gordon Films titles on that list are streaming in HD (Horror Hospital already has a UK Blu-ray), so it seems like they're ready to go. Moreover, Criterion are streaming Atomic Submarine and First Man into Space in HD (apparently Fiend Without a Face is also, though not via Amazon), while Inseminoid of course was recently restored by Indicator. So if Shout do have home video rights to these and wish to put out Blu-rays, it looks like they won't need to do much work on the transfers.

[NeMo_ET]

Been on the fence about New Years Evil for a while now. Even though it's going OOP, I think I'll pass. Trying to cut down my movie purchases to titles I really want in my collection vs stuff I'll watch once or maybe twice.

[Luke Dodge748]

Cool, I ordered Vampire's Kiss and the Blacula double features from Amazon. So thanks to you guys for the heads up on the OOP blurays.

Thank you. I wonder if Don Mancini can convince them. He'd love to be a part of it.
