Yeah, surprised Paramount never released it themselves. There is already an HD transfer of it, so I'm thinking Scream picked it up in their deal, but who knows for sure.

Yeah it's streaming on amazon instant video now (for free if you have a membership). I'm gonna give it a watch here pretty soon.

I'm expecting a couple of Paramount announcements on Thursday (it was hinted as much in the podcast), though I wouldn't be surprised if they saved some of the more high profile titles for later in 2020. I guess it depends on whether they can get further deals with other studios (namely Warner Bros), as right now the Paramount arrangement is obviously the most exciting and lucrative one they have, so it makes sense to stretch the titles out.

As for what they reveal on Thursday, well that will depend on whether or not they just want to disclose the rest of February's line-up (in which case there might be a couple of non-CE Paramount titles in there), or tease titles beyond that, in which case bigger titles come into play, and April Fool's Day in particular seems a no-brainer (surely a late March release).

Anyone happen to know if Candyman is still shipping with a slip?

I got mine a few weeks ago from amazon and it came with a slip.

I hope so, I've been waiting on this one for years. That would be welcome news.

I feel it in my spirit that this one is coming. And about damn time too!

BullMoose had the The Mummy's Shroud up for $19.99 when I pre-ordered it a week ago, don't know if its still now. Didn't end up ordering Demons of the Mind so IDK if its also $19.99. Generally, you have a short time to jump on the $19.99 price before it goes up.

My Shocktober order arrived. Trick R Treat had no slip, TCM:TNG did actually have one. Excited to watch Superstition for the first time this weekend!

Howling 2 was a horrible film anyway.

^This. Every time I watch it the theme song sticks in my head for a while. I think I’ve seen 2 more then I have the original Howling.

That is very tempting.

Is the Trick R Treat disc with or without all of the scratches?

[Jlouisbarrett]

The disc I purchased at Bull Moose for $19.99 a few weeks ago had no scratches. It also came with a slipcover. I believe it’s still on sale there.

Both MUMMY'S SHROUD and DEMONS OF THE MIND are currently $22.97 at Bull Moose. Usually, Bull Moose has some of the lowest pre-order prices around and I don't remember them going up until the titles have been released, but they did this time. Even $19.99 is too much for these movies in my opinion, but that's Shout for you. I try never to pay more than $16 for Shout/Scream titles and have actually had good luck finding them at that threshold or less.

I received it with a slip during the last Target sale.
