It would be nice if they offered the set of just the moves with no extra items and gave a slight discount for the bundle, off to Amazon as well.

[jmilo61]

Not really expecting it, but still really hoping the Krampus UHD has an Atmos track.

I'd upgrade for that alone, regardless of what's added in the Naughty Cut.

[tylerc904]

Wow, I did not see Krampus coming but I love that film so I may have to get it.

I want RICHOCHET so bad. It's not even streaming from what I can tell.

Doesn't THE HITCHER have the same problem? If so, we got a watchable version of that at least. Kinda shocked no one has been motivated enough to find a way to get a top quality Denzel Washinton/John Lithgow flick released.

[BluProofie]

Will be getting Krampus and the standard edition of Evangelion.

Looks like Amazon took it off recently but there was an HD stream of Ricochet on there but you needed a Cinemax subscription to access it. Ricochet is one of my most wanted titles.

Yeah, Ricochet is high on my most wanted list too. I was stoked to cross Deep Cover off the list at long last, but finally getting Ricochet would be the bee's knees.

[Thomas Veil]

I've tried a couple times but Krampus just doesn't do it for me...I keep wanting to like it but missing something. On the other hand I would have loved a Trick r Treat 4K. I miss the old Scream days with lots of titles.

I wish they could do a John Carpenter and Debra Hill commentary for Halloween 2 and 3.

I hope you are referencing already recorded commentaries and not hoping for a seance to include a dead person for a commentary.

Also posted this in the Amazon app coupon thread in the Deals section:

I was looking at Target to see what I would wait for the next B2G1 free deal...and discovered I don't see listings for a lot of recent Scream Factory blus on Target, like The Dead Zone, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Eight Legged Freaks, A Stranger is Watching, Eyes of a Stranger...they don't even show up using a google search (He Knows You're Alone does, but then it says "Product Not Available" when you click...which is also what I see when I click on King Kong from my order history). Anyone know why? I can find preorders like Deadly Friend, Killer Party and Alone in the Dark, and recent releases like The Borrower and Return to Salem's Lot, but it looks like a large chunk of recent titles aren't on there anymore...

all of those titles are in my favorites right now... waiting for a sale like you...

hmmm... I just checked again and Eight Legged Freaks and A Stranger is Watching are gone! the others are still there...

[OneWayFilms]

As many times as I bought Halloween (1978)......THIS release appears to be the DEFINITIVE Edition. I mean, this even has the complete TV Edited version in standard def and just about every featurette available, combined in one release.

Richochet was streaming on the Cinemax Prime Video channel in HD, but it's cropped to 1.78 outside the opening/ending credits.

Those are separate threads for each film. I thought it would be more practical to post the specs for the series in one spot on the main thread.

We're not getting Director's Cuts for Parts 4 or 5 but at least we'll get the infamous deleted Dr. Death scene for Part 5 as an extra. I was under the impression they found a lot of cut footage for 4 and 5 and we would now get a chance to see it all. Maybe on a future re-release.

I'm just happy that 4 and 5 got fresh scans and will be on UHD.
