Enter the Ninja is easily the least entertaining for me

Was there a complete list published somewhere where previously OOP titles have now come back in print?

Warner's US rights to Crash expired in 2015. These rights are currently split between HanWay Films (one of the film producers, where Criterion and Arrow got their licences from) for home video/theatrical and Filmrise (who owns the catalog of Canadian producer Alliance) for streaming.

Pumpkinhead and Hackers were ones off the top of my head. Maybe Motel Hell too.

Can anyone else also comment on this? Would be unpleasant if the Scream release of Terror Within 2 would be inferior to the Code Red version. Maybe someone can even provide a screenshot comparison?

The packaging shows Crash as licensed from Warner Brothers

Very interesting! I was told Criterion primarily went through HanWay, but maybe Warner did hold on to the video rights and negotiated a separate deal with them.

A few from earlier this week:

I just now went and checked all of the titles I had marked as out of print on the list on Post #1 with what was available on Shout's website and have updated post #1 with titles that no longer appear oop. A handful of these have already been shared earlier in the thread and those I had already removed the out of print designation from earlier in the week, but these were some other titles that were marked as being in print once again as well right now, they were the following...

The Nest
The final terror
candyman farewell to the flesh
love at first bite/once bitten

As far as I am aware Post #1 is once again accurate in terms of what is and isn't in print.

I’m 100% with you on this. I love TerrorVision, but The Video Dead was barely watchable for me. The super low budget, shot-on-video stuff doesn’t really do it for me. I’m sure there are some gems hidden in there somewhere, and I’ll keep looking, but this was not one of them.

Scream Factory has three more films from the Universal set to release: Night Creatures/Captain Clegg, Nightmare, and Paranoiac.

As for Warner Bros. there are these yet to be released on blu-ray that I know of: She, When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, Crescendo, and Moon Zero Two . Interestingly, Moon Zero Two is a sci-fi epic that takes place in the year 2021. So here we are. Hopefully it will be released this year.

As for Columbia, Mill Creek has all of those. The good news is that Indicator in the UK has just sold out Hammer Volume Four. So in perhaps a few months, those titles including Revenge of Frankenstein with its 4K restoration will be available as a stand-alone release, and its region free.

EDIT: I was just informed by TheWildWon that Dinosaurs has already been released by WAC. But Hysteria has not.

When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth was released on Blu-ray from Warner Archive a few years ago. Warner also has Hysteria which has not been.

Wow, I missed that one! Going to order it now! Thanks! I just edited my previous post.

I'm finally getting those Universal Horror sets and am loving them. Doubt we will get any more than the 6 they released, but would appreciate more.

I loved both as a kid but that opening Ninja battle in Ninja 3 is hard to beat plus the V8 sex scene! Its like Showgirls meets Ninja the domination. B movie classic

Same here. Tried watching it a few months ago and barely made it through. It's pretty dire. Revenge is still good, ridiculous fun but Enter is just boring and the action scenes are all awkward and ridiculous. Franco Nero is about as convincing a martial artist as Rudy Ray Moore.

But ultimately it all comes down to the fact that neither Franco Nero nor Sho Kosugi can compete with the charms of Lucinda Dickey. I think even they would agree with that.

Got my 3 sale titles today. One of the corners of the box was ripped off like someone tore into it on purpose - thankfully it wasn't raining outside. And thankfully Shout used a good sized box and plenty of filler material. Sadly, my copy of Land of the Dead did not have a slipcover.

Lol I'm losing my mind waiting for my stuff to ship. They said it could be two weeks, and they sure are taking the full two weeks (and counting).

Word to the wise: Never get in a hurry when ordering direct from SF. I've waited more than a month before on stuff that's been out and in-print for years. It's a crap-shoot with them.

How old is your player? I have an early model Oppo where discs frequently hang up. I'll get a menu screen but nothing happens when I press play. Sometimes the disc would play but only the audio portion (the main menu would show while the disc played). Pressing Top Menu used to work but lately it's hit or miss. I think it's time to retire the unit.

I tried this and it’s still not working. I have a Samsung UBD-K8500, about 3 years old. Attached are some pics. Thanks.

Maybe try it on another player? See what happens then.
