Regarding It, I certainly hope it's the complete mini-series and not like the truncated Blu-ray trying to make it a single movie. I never got that Blu-ray after finding out it's the same as the DVD, which I do own.

If The Blob is coming, I wonder if they have another Sony title lined up for October - Night of the Living Dead (1990)? IIRC, there were rumours of a new release.

Licencing differences might be an issue with such a project, given that only the second and third films are with Paramount.

Pumpkinhead? Night of the Demons? The Blob? Night of the Demons 2? And possibly It? For September/October?


Shit imma have to start working the corner lol..


But.. Where's Night of the Demons 3????

I have to emphasize that it's all speculative at this point. I can't 100% say these are coming.

I will just add that the page I found for Night of the Demons 2 could very well turn into a release for a double feature with both 2 and 3 included on Blu-ray. I feel like that's a very Scream Factory thing to do. I don't know the history of the 3rd film, but it's rather strange that it never even got a DVD release in the US, so that's my only concern with it suddenly appearing in a release from SF. BarnDoor or someone else can probably confirm, but I believe both 2 and 3 are with Paramount.

You're correct, they are both with Paramount. Obviously 2 was released by Olive but since their Paramount titles are OOP it is no doubt available again. The only thing I find strange about this is that if SF had the opportunity to secure former Olive titles from Paramount, I'm really surprised they didn't grab Cujo and (presumably) Monster Squad ahead of Kino. That said, it may be that Kino just got there first, and since they're unlikely to acquire NOTD2, SF grabbed it at a later date.

NOTD 3 would be new to disc but we have some indications that it is coming, and most likely from SF. After all, Tenney did say that he was doing interviews for 2 films, one new to Blu. Is it possible he was referring to NOTD2 and NOTD3? After all, it's rare for SF to add new extras to their 4K releases.

As for a double feature, we know from Conquest of Space and I Married a Monster that Paramount do allow them (not every studio does), so that is a real possibility.

Oh wow, I missed that previous post about the 3rd film. That's a lot more promising then.

[jcole8882]

I'd much rather have individual releases of Night of the Demons 2 and 3 but if a double feature is the best we get then oh well I guess... hopefully in 4k..

You started threads in the 4K section for some of these

For two that I'm sure are coming, but I did say I'm unsure about others, especially those where SF didn't previously have rights. I have no idea what we'll get as far as Night of the Demons 2 for instance. I assumed Blu-ray rather than 4K, and now with the strong possibility of the 3rd coming to BD as well, a double-feature feels likely.

My disclaimers are partly there to prevent people from coming after me with pitchforks if Shout announces titles, and one or more are not included. Their plans shift all the time. I mean, Fargo UHD leaked out ages ago, but has yet to be officially announced.

[Member-222782]

We await official word for this undoubtedly exciting lineup. If all of these actually materialize it’ll be Shout’s best batch in a long time

I am more interested in these released than 4K upgrades.

Though some of their upgrades are from their first batch of releases like a decade ago (this is me thinking aloud and realizing I might be grabbing some of these as well).

Is there a chance the "It" listing is for the rumored supercut of "It Chapter 1 and 2"? Scream sometimes licenses WB films right?

From Screen Rant: "Muschietti assured fans the IT director's cut was coming again, in December 2017, but said it would take a few months. Obviously, the entire year of 2018, and most of 2019, came and went with no updates on the longer cut. Fans might've just moved on and stopped expecting an IT director's cut, but in summer 2019, shortly before the release of IT Chapter Two, Muschietti not only once again teased the existence of a director's cut of IT, but also of the sequel. Additionally, he said a supercut version combining all material from both IT films was also in the works."

Possibly all the hubbub and delays around "The Flash" also delayed the completion of an "It" supercut?

Interestingly, the 3 potential CE's are all 1988 films. I can't imagine they'd do all of these in one month, so perhaps one or more of them will be saved for October.

Really hoping this is happening. Been holding off on that blu assuming we'd be getting a UHD sooner or later. That and In the Mouth of Madness are the two that I want the most

Which is why I'm hoping we get a Gremlins 2 release from them.

[Bradsdadg]

Got Creepshow in today, excited to give that one a watch. That makes 2 movies from my order of 4 delivered. No idea how many packages they are sending in total. Either 3 or 4 at this point. Also no idea what they are doing in their shipping dept lately...
