Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

[Bradsdadg]

Twice Dead is tempting me, not so much with The Terror Within. Wish they announced these with the last sale though~would have got me to place an order!

[Savage_Blu]

Already have the CR Terror Within II disc....
Regardless, ordered both releases.
Good lookin out starstream!

[Ruemorgue10]

Orderd both Corman releases.

[KenHurd]

I've never seen these but ordered both. It's nice to have some new Scream Factory titles shipping soon!

[BarnDoor]

Two 80s/early 90s horror releases, can't see these lasting long at just 1000 copies each...

I'm surprised that these weren't given general releases tbh. Probably indicates the main line for 2021 is fairly stacked.

[TripleHBK]

Love this announcement, ordered both just now.

Yeah, I'm betting these will be gone by the end of the day or tomorrow...

After missing out on the velvet vampire and seeing how much that goes for now, I don't wait around on these webstore exclusives.

Also, a little lame of Scream Factory to be "limiting" to 5 per order. That seems like a lot per person for only printing 1,000 copies.

I'd like to order both of these but when I sign in, it says my cart is empty. But it says there are 13 items in the cart. When I go into my cart to remove some of the titles, it says there are no items in the cart...

What is going on with their site? It's done this before, and I received like a dozen items in my last order... (That I had thought I removed)

Me too.

They charged me sales tax this time. It’s strange - sometimes I get charged tax on their site, sometimes I don’t.

Appreciate the insight, but that didn't do it. It does it on all my devices, too. Even when I logged in on my fiance's phone.

I couldn't order these fast enough. I've been needing Twice Dead on Blu since forever - it's one of those great old school American horror movies I never get tired of watching. It helps that one of my biggest movie crushes of all time is in it I had to double check Terror Within to see if I already had it. Didn't realize it wasn't on Blu-ray yet so this is a very welcome surprise.

[gobad2003]

Ordered both of these These limited Corman titles usually go pretty fast so I would jump if you're even a little interested, You could always sell down the road when they go OOP for a profit

[RyGuy1496]

My Love is in the Scare order just arrived today (way earlier than I expected) and April Fool’s Day and TCM:TNG both came with slips! Heck yess.

[bsend]

I have the Code Red version of Terror Within and the other two releases on DVD. Gonna skip on these.

I'm guessing that SF will re-release these movies every few years to keep control over the prices, much like when Disney did the vault collection......

If there's enough demand they will, like they did with Deathstalker. But it'll take more than a hundred or so people asking. I don't really get why just pressing a batch of 1000 every time you run out of stock until the license expires is so bad. Is keeping inventory really that much of a hassle? At the most you'll probably only end up pressing 3000 copies before everyone who wanted a copy had a chance to get one (for these titles at least). So what if the last few hundred set around collecting dust for a few years? Someone will buy them eventually.

Yet Code Red and Scorpion will moan about how long it took a title to sell 1000 copies only to make sour comments when someone who missed out wants a repress. At least their excuse is that they have to pay for the storage. Shout's bigger than that, surely? They're certainly not having many MGM movies hogging up space anymore.

[TripleHBK]

With my order placed for both Corman releases I will say that I am a bit disappointed that Shout went back to 2 films per disc. Given the nearly $30 price tag and the limited print run it would have been nice to have gotten each of the Terror Within films on their own discs. I'm sure the BD-50 will provide plenty of space for the titles but I like having each film on their own disc so I'll always ask for separate discs.

If Scream didn't limit these to 1,000 units, most of these titles would not move very fast at $27 a piece. Once again, it's the "limited edition" model that so many labels use now that gets people buying quick and buying now. FOMO.

"Deathstalker 1 + 2" was a major exception on their first LE website-exclusive releases. That one sold out super fast, thus them rethinking a few years later to do a repress. But the other 3, they stayed available for quite a while, Shout even reduced the prices on those other three (Velvet Vampire, Message in Space, and Timewalker, I believe) to get rid of them. Yes, now those may be worth big bucks, but if Shout reissued them, they'd be in the same position of trying to sell off titles most people never really wanted, until they are OOP. Remember, Shout had to do a sale-price on the other 3, maybe half-priced, just to sell them off. A 1,000 repress on those would be foolish. Sort of what Bill Olsen always says, haha!

Anything is possible, though, I noticed recently the "Attack of the Crab Monsters" was sold out, and that didn't take too long. Maybe half went to resellers, though?

Are the Terror Within movies any good? Do they have good creature effects, etc?
