I would be all over both of these. Day 1 purchase

Unfortunately, I think that Scream/Shout may be out on both of these. I asked Cliff about these and I got a no response because he indicated that RotLD 2 is with Warner and RotLD 3 is with Lionsgate. I asked him back in January of this year. It's too bad because I would love to see both these get the full Scream treatment...

We don't have any of the RotLD films.
The second is with Warner and the third (along with a bunch of lame sequels) are at Lionsgate.

The UK Blu-ray of the first film was so well done that I can't see doing a new version here in the states.

That Howling slipcover looks very eye-catching in that photo, although I still think it would have been better without the Dee Wallace figure on it. Still, no floating heads!

My wallet's considerably lighter thanks to your hard work, but it's been absolutely worth it so far. Keep up the good work.

Can't wait for Ninja iii

I don't buy any other regions discs so I am still waiting on a better edition BD of ROTLD here in the States.


All of the new features for The Fog look great and I can't wait until I actually get it.

Yes, Jeff and I are equal partners in the Scream Factory brand. We came up with it together. We both have equal say... and Jeff is a HUGE part of Scream Factory's success. We both work our asses off. It's basically a two-man show.

I do not just do "acquisitions".
I produce the discs, usually about four titles a month... not just Scream titles.

I'm in charge of what goes on the disc and I oversee the special features producers work and am the executive producer on each special feature. I have final say on all content.
I also oversee all Shout/Scream film transfers... those that we transfer from film to tape. We don't do new transfers on everything. I approve and oversee all authoring work too.

So, I'm a lot more than just acquisitions as I was so simply refered to.

I, for one, thank you greatly. So far, I have Phantasm 2 and They Live... However, my wishlist includes TerrorVision/Video Dead, Night of the Comet, Swamp Thing, Lifeforce, From Beyond, and the Halloween sequels... Sorry, but I couldn't pass up the previous SE of The Howling for $4.

So... I can imagine we'll also be seeing the Schizoid/XRay and Day of the Dead art this month. I mean, Day has been confirmed to be in the near future, but the double is expected to be released in September, the next month on the schedule.

[demonknight]

You know what, other companies need to follow your example. Anchor Bay and Lionsgate should release some of their films on bluray in double features. Examples:
Waxwork 1&2
Silent Night Deadly Night 4&5
Class of 1999/Chopping Mall
Bride of/Beyond Re-Animator
Cutting Class/Slaughter High

[dlshelt]

Wonder if ScreamFactory has any plans to release Halloween 4&5,because the pq on the anchor bay is DVD quality.

Thus far it hasn't happened. Obviously, I don't hold that against Cliff, Jeff or anyone else at Shout! Factory, but it's been a disappointment nonetheless.

Yes, but there is a difference. Image didn't try. They released 1/3 of their DVDs on blu ray without features. Shout! is trying with all their heart and the fans respect them for that.

Also, Cliff is it possible to combine releases from originally different companies to form a box set? I think a Carpenter, Craven, or Hooper set would be great.

I gotta say Scream Factory has been amazing so far. Ive gotten every single blu theyve released so far. Just got Vampire Lovers this week and intend on getting everything else they release. Easily the best thing us horror fans have going on right now.

[demonknight]

Anyone else notice how Scream likes to show the cover art to their releases in groups of three.
Halloween 2, Halloween 3, Terror Train
Phantasm 2, Prison, TerrorVision/Video Dead
The Fog, Swamp Thing, Dark Angel
and now Scanners 2&3, Q, Day of the Dead

It's worth it to import the UK ROTLD. You can bypass the "Incorrect Region" screen by hitting the Top Menu button on the remote. If your player and TV can transmit PAL, then you won't have any issues with the SD extras on the disc, either.

Its my favorite import by far. The documentary alone in HD is worth the money. Plus it has an option to have the original audio soundtrack.

Can it work on DVDs too? I have a Toshiba SD-K730.

There's not much we can do if a rights holder won't license us a film.

I think there are probably a lot of people who's blood sweat and tears go into these releases.
I thank you for your hard work, I think we all do.

And it is amazing to see you back in here. Haven't heard from you in a while, its unfortunate that a negative comment made you return, but it is nice that you did come back.

Hopefully, you and the rest of the 'Scream Team' have complete success!
