These all fine from Shout but they need to leave Conan for the big boys

You don't want your Conan discs scratched to sh*t?

Last House on the Left (2009) is with Universal.. I expect them to release it on 4k sooner or later..

Other than that and the Jaws sequels, I don't see many pre-2010 titles left that Scream Factory or another label haven't already double-dipped on (so I'm not talking 4K upgrades of Universal titles already released by SF):

Conan the Barbarian & Conan the Destroyer (there was a rumour Arrow had these)
Cape Fear (1991) (this is apparently with someone; maybe Criterion?)
The Bone Collector
The Skeleton Key

There are a few others but only these seem like realistic CE or even 4K UHD options.

The Chronicles of Riddick
Tremors 2

Tremors 2 would be great, though I'm wondering if SF are now cautious of picking that up, as people might then expect CEs of the other Tremors sequels, which are surely less likely.

I believe Chronicles of Riddick was speculated to come from Arrow at one point, but again, looks to have been baseless gossip.

I think most fans would be happy getting 2-4. 5-7 already look really nice.

If only they could rescue the TV series.

Ah, yes, Jurassic Park. One of the earliest (and best) examples of refined CGI seamlessly integrated into live action by talented artists. I'm sure by that point (in 1993), the effects gurus at ILM/Lucasfilm and other workshops had been hard at work perfecting CGI for years prior but should we consider the work in films like Tron as part of the same type of SPX? I call those "computer assisted" as opposed to "computer generated" effects. Maybe there's no difference?

What are other examples of early "CAI" other than The Abyss and Tron? Someone mentioned Young Sherlock Holmes, which I recently watched for the first time, but don't recall seeing anything remotely resembling computer-assisted. Maybe it was done so well that I missed it?

Anyone's orders from before the awful website redesign show yet in their account page?

Other than Tron and The Abyss, here are some notable pre-1993 uses of CGI:

1982 - Star Trek II (the Genesis demo sequence)
1984 - The Last Starfighter
1985 - Young Sherlock Holmes (Stained-glass Knight)
1986 - Flight of the Navigator
1988 - Willow (Raziel's transformations)
1989 - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ("He chose poorly")
1991 - Terminator 2

No, and I'm kinda annoyed about it. I can't remember if I bought a particular disc, and a quick glance at my order history would solve the problem---but there's nothing there.

[Number_6]

Does anyone have any sense of when Shout/Scream will have another sale?

I Married a Man From Outer Space is getting released pretty soon and while I have no problem paying the current price, I would like to pair it with some stuff that is on sale to hit the free shipping requirement.

Most likely sometime between Mid June and Mid July. They typically have their "Summer of Fear" sale during this time.

I noticed that the Amazon page for The People Under The Stairs 4K disappeared.

The Amazon page for Creepshow 4K was also removed. Don't know what's going on with Amazon, but checking SF's website just now and it appears that everything is fine, these two titles' release dates haven't been delayed as some people, including me, feared.

[Donl1282]

Sorry if this has already been mentioned. When does SF usually announce new titles? Is it usually the end of the month? Are extra features for announced titles usually announced at that time as well?

Usually the end of the month, or the first days of the month. Sometimes extras are posted, but final extras are usually finalized later, closer to the release date. Creepshow for instance was official announced April 3rd (though I did leak it earlier than that ), it's releasing June 27th, and finalized extras/details for it will probably be posted sometime this week, or the next.
