That looked pretty fake.

As fake as the Shout Fctor Nightmare on Elm Street 4K collection photo?

Yes. And it wasn’t the theatrical poster art which is a dead giveaway of it being fake since that’s what they’ve been doing for their CEs that are jumping to 4k.

I thought Jeeper Creepers was a no go anyways, like Clownhouse because of the director?

After the backlash from when they released the Blu-rays, I don't see SF doing those films again. They'll let someone else deal with the heat.

Agreed... Sword and the Sorcerer too.

Have JC the double feature and the single release. It's not special enough to buy for a 3rd time.

When has that ever stopped SF?

I don't see it happening. The blu's have been out of print for quite some time now and are still regarded as out of print on Shouts website. There's no reason for the blu's to be out of print if a 4k is planned. I'd also add that with the Amazon acquisition of MGM finalized, unless a deal was made some time back this seems even less likely which again, with the blu's being out of print, doesn't seem likely.

I suppose Kino, MVD, or Vinegar Syndrome could have picked them up, if they wanted to. I don't see Shout buying the license again. Titles like Mad Max and Misery would have been worth more to them to renew for 4K, but they let those go.

I agree. It's also worth noting that Jeepers Creepers 4 is due out later this year and so while a 4k release may be in the works from someone, it vert well may be tied to a boxset of some kind by whomever has plans to release the latest entry in the franchise.

I'd love to see them do Wolf UHD 4K Collector's Edition which would sell. It's the Jack Nicholson movie.

Man I'm with you! I really want to own this, but I've yet to find the Indicator release with the booklet. Cool film, I do hope we get a new release here in the states soon...

Yes and even better on UltraHD 4K as it would look stunning

So... I bought this Scream disc of April Fool's Day when it first came out, but it slipped my mind to watch it on April 1 of that year, since I had stuff going on. In 2021, I also somehow forgot to watch the disc on April 1. I guess I had it in my head that I needed to see this on the exact date for the first time. Thankfully, I did not forget about it yesterday.



Several college friends celebrate spring break on the weekend of April 1 by taking a ferry to an idyllic island mansion owned by their wealthy friend, Muffy, played by Deborah Foreman. As soon as they arrive, they are treated to relentless good-natured pranks and gags, in keeping with the holiday. When these guests start to disappear one by one at the hands of an unseen assailant, however, the survivors discover that their fates are no laughing matter.

The 1986 slasher horror offering, April Fool's Day, directed by Fred Walton (When a Stranger Calls), may have arrived in theaters well after the heyday of the genre, but it exudes enough riveting subversiveness to keep things lively. I have always loved scary movies that take place on islands, since the isolated location becomes a menace in its own right. Frank Mancuso Jr., who produced the Friday the 13th sequels, had an adept hand in giving audiences the thrills that they wanted, while also maintaining a spirit of fun.

The cast is pure dynamite. Foreman, whom all of you know from Valley Girl and Real Genius, is wonderful as the host who may or may not have more than jokes in mind for her visitors. Amy Steel, as one of our heroines, previously appeared as a final girl in Friday the 13th Part 2. Clayton Rohner, as one of the class clown guys, would appear in Modern Girls that same year. Deborah Goodrich, who starred with Rohner in One of the Guys, is a terrific presence as a party girl with an inner toughness. Ken Olandt (Summer School) makes for a grounded hero type once his character begins to understand the predicament.

The actual April 1st holiday is always a mild annoyance to me, because I am bracing myself for the inevitable jokes. I have a softer spot for it in present day, though, because it is now the one day of the year when people do not automatically believe everything they read on the internet. At any rate, April Fool's Day is a killer way to ring in the occasion.
