I hope the titles get announced earlier than planned. Really hoping to see a confirmation of the rumored Friday the 13th set.

So will they announce 13 to 14 titles on fb in july?

[DukeTogo84]

Damn. Was really looking forward to going this year. (Comic Con) Hopefully, Scream just gives us the titles soon then.

[Michael24]

Maybe they can do a live stream on social media to make their announcements and answer questions.

My copy of Trick 'r Treat that I got during Target's B2G1 came with a slipcover!! Super surprised and happy about that

I really don't see any reason for Scream Factory to deviate from the planned Comic-Con announcement schedule. As Michael24 suggested I could see a live stream of some kind where the announcements are made however I feel like a more likely scenario is that we see the announcements made via a podcast such as Shockwaves or another similar show and possibly spread out over a longer span of time.

I'd prefer that they do the usual 11-13 announcements in one shot like they always have but without the convention build up I don't know that there is a reason to do so. Personally, I'd love if they took July's announcements and just combined everything into one long month long announcement. One title every working day all month long. There are 23 weekdays in July so clearly we wouldn't get that many announcements but we could get one every other business day.

I still feel like some if not all the titles will end up as part of a podcast or other special event announcement though.

I'm hoping that Scream announces a few 4K UHD titles.

[zbinks]

I could see them streaming a socially-distanced, SDCC-esque presentation on their ShoutFactoryTV platform.

If they're not going to have a big event, then it might make more sense to just space out the announcements into regular, non-SDCC intervals to keep their fanbase engaged, rather than doing one big announcement and running into a lull period for new announcements.

I believe they also have multiple warehouse they ship from. I recently ordered four films and three titles went out in two different shipments. The fourth title still hasn’t shipped yet. A second order I placed was larger and already has two different tracking numbers listed under the My Order page. It’s pretty wild, but yeah, you’ll get what you ordered eventually.

I received Lord of Illusions from my second to last order, after it had sold out on their site, and pretty much every other. I wouldn't worry about it too much. They seem to be excellent about their inventory counts.

It's funny, now that my bank account is happy because of tax refunds and stimulus payments all arriving at the same time, I have nothing to buy.

Mondo Macabro is having a good sale, if you're into their releases. Things are beginning to go out of stock slowly.

The sale prices aren't as low as I'd like, but I picked up three titles from that sale.

Is the Disc all scratched up?
Is Shout still shipping the scratched discs or did they correct the problem of the scratched discs for this release?

I was thinking the other day, given that Scream has access to Sony/Columbia-TriStar titles, I'd love to see them do a release of Pen Densham's The Kiss (1988). I rewatched this film recently and it is a heck of a lot of fun, and would fit nicely in their catalogue. I have the Sony DVD release, which is now exorbitantly expensive.

Is this the movie where someone struggles to get over the side of a swimming pool, when they could have used the ladder that's a foot away?

LOL yes, it is.

[ProfondoRosso]

I’ve always wanted to see THE KISS. I’ve heard mostly good things about it. Is it a slasher or more of a monster movie?

[Anothrworld]

Does anyone know if you can order replacement Blu-ray artwork through Shout Factory? I received a copy of Behind the Mask: Rise of Leslie Vernon that I ordered through Target. The Blu-ray case was placed inside the slipcover and then it was shrink wrapped. When I unwrapped it and removed the slipcover I noticed that there was a crack in the Blu-ray case spine and the artwork is damaged. Since I’ve already opened it I can’t return it so I am just wondering if it would be possible for me to replace the artwork. Thanks

It's a supernatural horror movie, with monster movie elements. It kind of reminds me of The Unholy, if you've seen that one.

[SpaceBlackKnight]

The Kiss is not with Sony/TriStar anymore. It was produced by a Canadian company called Astral Films but distributed by TriStar for a certain time period. US rights are probably now with TVA Films (who owns the Astral Films catalog), and since Scorpion has released some titles from them including Death Ship and Terror Train (a former Fox owned title that was previously released by Scream Factory) I can see them getting to it since it's right up their alley.

Trying shooting them an email. When I got In the Mouth of Madness the cover had a tear along the bottom. I emailed them and they sent me a replacement cover insert inside an empty case.
