Not looking to upgrade the original, but replacing that steelbook is indeed tempting... we'll see.

I'm definitely in for the sequels, great announcements!!

True, but that's not saying much. lol

I would think so, but at the rate they're coming out, it's going to take awhile. They only seem to be averaging around 2 a month, so you might want to hold on to each title until it gets announced.

It's difficult to determine whether Blue Rider has the rights to the third film, since their site lists a number of Republic-distributed productions from that period known to be with Paramount today, like Witchboard 2 and Night of the Demons 2 and 3. It may be that Blue Rider only own the rights to the first films in the respective franchises.

I think this will be the first time I grab every single release including Evangelion.

I love 2. It is a Brian Trenchard-Smith delight. I honestly like it more than the first one (though I also like the first one). It's very (intentionally) funny in some scenes.

I only watched 3 once, but I remember it being pretty poor. The scene from the first film of Amelia Kinkade gliding down a hallway was recycled again. I also vaguely remember a shoot-out at a convenience store, which felt like it was lifting heavily from Quentin Tarantino's films (all two of them, at that point, but Tarantino was red hot at the time). Weird addition to a Night of the Demons movie.

It was pretty obvious that Hull House was a different location (the original was torn down after the second film), which may be why the gliding footage was reused again.

I vaguely remember the hosts of the old Shock Waves podcast discussing production problems during the making of the third film, but I don't remember the details.

What kind of sale is this? Scream really need to take notes from Kino. Now they know how to do a sale.

They actually had a pretty solid sale; I think the last one with 4ks. Wish they would have done that one again instead of whatever this was...

2 is solid.

Yeah the 4k sale was pretty good, I got 4 titles from that one.

Oh, my bad. The sale is over and it shows the normal prices.

FINALLY, I know NOTD 3 isn't great but I've been kicking myself ever since I passed up purchasing the old Canadian DVD at an FYE for $5 year ago. Since then, shot up in price and was difficult to find.

It'll be nice to finally upgrade NOTD 2 as well with better art and what I can assume is a new transfer.

All day one!!! Wow love how Scream Factory is just killing the game! Scream Factory and Vinegar Syndrome are my two favorite kids.

Since it's SF I'm sure there will be NO discounted bundle, a la Cauldron/VS/many other boutiques, and what a missed opportunity (unless they surprise) to not sell us a F13th box set style collage outer housing case for those of us buying all 3 films. That would sell too. Also they better be giving us the uncut version of 3, not seen since its VHS release, the DVD was cut by about 2 minutes and I think they changed a song during a dance sequence. I'll buy them in a year.

Never seen 3, and waited to get a Blu ray, and now it's here so I hope it's ok. Part 2 is a childhood favorite, not as dark and grim as the original Night Of The Demons, but super fun and has a cool vibe.

[Resident Evil Labs]

I've noticed in Leprechaun 3 which is directed by Smith too, he directed Night Of The Demons 2... Leprechaun 3 has the girl who plays Mouse and the redhead at the craps table I believe in a scene. Cool to see the same actors being reused around that time in different DTV horror movies.

[Resident Evil Labs]

Night Of The Demons 2, Night Of The Scarecrow, Night Of The Living Dead 3 and Pumpkinhead 2 all have this similar Goofy gooey vibe, that only that period of horror ever had. Any one else agree.

PHII is a pretty entertaining romp...story sucks, most of the characters are dumb/annoying and die accordingly. Amy Dolenz, Soleil Moon Frye, Caren Kaye and the creature effects are worth the price of admission.

I'd buy a 4k UHD of it.

[dubhousing]

I remember Pumpkinhead II being an in-name-only sequel that doesn't have any particular ties to the first one, other than a creature with the name of the title. The set-up seemed to be completely different from the first film. Lance Henriksen returned for the third and fourth films, reprising his role from the first.
