This might be the most bummed I have been all year. And I have had a bad year...so far.

When people mention sock accounts, is this what they are?

Yep. That is definitely what I looked like a couple months back...

Bride of Chucky is a 4k OCN scan and probably of the unrated cut with the theatrical included as an addition.

Seed of Chucky had a bunch of digital work but was finished on film. That will be a 4k OCN scan and of both cuts.

Curse of Chucky and Cult of Chucky were shot digitally and finished 2k. Cant see them doing any complex rebuilds so they'll probably be upscales of both cuts with a 4k HDR grade.

Brad Dourif himself is slashervising the transfer

BTW, anyone know why Resident Evil Labs was banned? They are one of the calmest members here. Can't imagine them going off the deep end.

A different forum on here had gotten a little out of hand I'll say. I responded to some remarks I didn't find cool, and was banned. I shouldn't have, so from now on I will only engage in movie discussion and not react to any non movie post of any kind.

Vinegar syndromes 4ks from interpositives usually look good. I wish scream would just do that.

Wouldn’t an IP look better on UHD than a digitally shot upscale? Seems an odd policy by Shout.

In my opinion, both companies have great 4k transfers, I even think Vinegar Syndrome sometimes has way too blown out and hot 4K transfers. I actually prefer Scream Factory when it comes to most 4K stuff. Of course Vinegar Syndrome has great transfers too, but Dead Heat felt really blown out.

What's your opinion on these getting a 4K release?

Assault on Precinct 13
Bordello of Blood
Cobra
Cyborg
Demon Knight
Lawnmower Man
Night of the Demons
Raising Cain
Sleepaway Camp
Tales from the Hood
Village of the Damned

Assault on Precinct 13 definitely will. Deaf Crocodile worked on the restoration, and it looks excellent.

I cashed in on a lot of my collector's editions thinking most if not all would get 4K releases, about half of the ones I sold already have.

Lawnmower Man in 4k

I'll say this, on a Scream Factory Twitter post, I said I hope Pumpkinhead and Night Of The Demons are next in 4K. And Scream Factory liked it, now I really hope that means we get them. Or they just liked my post, idk

Most of these I can see happening except for Cobra and Cyborg. Shout lost the licence for Cyborg and will probably come from someone else unless they reaquired it. Cobra sold decent numbers but not popular enough to warrant a 4k.

Can the thread mod please add "The Burning" 4K to the first post. It's missing but the new Chucky 4K's are showing up. Thanks!

All fixed. One thing about the leaks... they tend to throw me off a bit in terms of how/when I update the first page lists. Leaks generally don't have database entries for sometime later and so on occassion I forget/miss an entry after they've officially been announced. I usually am on tip of things but from time to time things slip through. I appreciate you pointing out the missing title.

Apparently Shout sent a crack team up into hill country to scavenge old graveyards for the negative. But they dug up something far more deadly...
