If we didn't care, we wouldn't criticize, nor would we credit the things we love.

It seems that the majority of complaints revolve around the artwork,as the discs and what is on them are all around top notch. People may complain as far as what movies are put out and which ones aren't, but I think most of us understand that it may have a lot to do with potential sales and the price to property rights.

I agree with everything you said except "as the discs and what is on them are all around top notch". Well, for the most part, with one exception that I know of: The problematic transfer of Phantasm II. Questioning technical aspects should not be offensive to a professional adult.

One thing about the horror community, to whom Shout Factory is mainly catering to, is that we're a very vocal bunch and like to discuss the pros and cons of our favorite releases. This may include *****ing about this or that artwork, slipcovers vs. generic cases, etc. To be honest, I enjoy the camaraderie of it all and don't consider it "negativity" at all. For instance, I could care less about the Amityville Horror trilogy - there, I said it. Doesn't mean I despise the company for acquiring it. Actually, I'm thrilled it's coming out for those who want it.

The way I see it, Shout is covering all the bases by expanding into Gothic horror with the Vincent Price Collection. They've done slasher films, drama, lots of (arguably) great cheesy action/exploitation, even a Hammer film - it's ALL good. I'm sure most of us here are very grateful for the company and their efforts and will continue to support them through the years. But I'd also like to keep coming on here and read about what people like or don't like, what they want or don't want - it's fun.

+1. I completely agree, horror fans have always seemed to be a tight knit bunch and I love reading and commenting on discussions and debates in this and other horror forums. I'm also in the same boat being not too excited for the amityville set, just never been a fan, but its great for those that do like the films.

I am however very excited for the Vincent Price collection, I've loved price since I first saw him on the hilarious house of frightenstein when I was a kid in late 80s. But I was thinking about the collection today and arrows steel book of the house of usher it got me thinking that arrow has probably acquired the other corman/price films as well, and if not all of them at least Dr. Phibes, and if so I'm willing to bet there will be a steel book of it, can you imagine how beautiful that steel book would be...I'm kinda glad this set won't be released for a while so I can see if other releases are coming, even though I'll still buy this set day 1.

You'll have to be more specific. Reliable in what way? The movies you're buying, or the sellers?

It's basically like eBay or eCrater, so I guess it depends who you're buying from.

They sell a lot of bootlegs on there, mostly stuff that isn't available on DVD. They do sell legit movies too, but like with eBay or other online marketplaces, you have to use your own discretion.

Guess I meant the sellers on there but guess that sounded stupid as sellers are all different.Never heard of ecrater.Are they good?

Well since Vudu is owned by Walmart I don't see that happening since WM doesn't even sell Scream titles.

If anything they could always offer UV which work on Vudu.

I imagine that was the intent of the post.

Here's something to make your head explode! As previously announced, SCANNERS II and SCANNERS III are coming this Fall. Check out the approved key art (which uses original theatrical poster images).

More details (exact street date, extras, etc.) will be shared in the next couple of months.

Getting this for sure...I liked part II better than the first Scanners

It's rumored that Criterion may release the first one sometime this year.

Thank goodness for Olive Films - if the Scanner Cops films are indeed with Republic then it's almost a certainty that Olive will release them eventually. I've been very happy with Olive and thankful for Boogens, Ticks, NOTD 2, NOTS and Witchboard 2.

Sorry for hijacking the Scream thread
