Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

[Resident Evil Labs]

What's the chances we get Night Of The Creeps and Demon Knight as 4K upgrades soon? also since Scream Factory has access to Olive Films titles, hopefully a special edition of Night Of The Scarecrow?

Does anyone know what’s happening with Kevin S. Tenney‘s ‘The Peacemaker (1990)’? I rewatched it today, it would look great in HD and on BluRay.

Is anyone rlse having issues buying the 4K of Pumpkinhead? It defaults to bluray and when I click on 4K it wont add to my cart. Its been like that all day for me. I want Demons too but cant order that until I can get Pumpkinhead for free shipping.

SFW. Redundant cardboard is different. The horror.

Death Becomes Her does have reversible art though - one of the other theatrical posters is on the reverse. The potion and cleavage poster specifically.

yes the same is happening to me, hopefully they get it fixed soon.

Sorry about that, you are correct. I had it in my head that it had just a bunch of stills from the movie like a few other releases have had.

Scream Factory at the time of release had planned commissioned artwork for the slipcover, however because of the likeness contracts were unable to use anything other than what they did and so I mistakenly remembered wrong. It'd been a while since I looked at the interior of that release and so I had forgotten that the inner art did in fact use the existing poster art. My mistake, sorry for the confusion!

All these people that display their discs at home like a Best Buy, I don’t know how they have the space.

If SONY did a 4K scan recently, otherwise not anytime soon.

They updated it so you can now preorder again, but the poster is already sold out.

Does that include night of the scarecrow or is that with Paramount?

Wow, that's gotta be a record.

Night of the Demons 4K poster already sold out too. If the stock counter is right, The Blob is likely to be sold out very quickly as well. I wonder how many posters were actually available for each? I'm thinking they're doing smaller quantities of posters now than before.

They must be, the seem to be relegating the majority of the posters to the “enamel pin” “lobby card” sets.

They still have over 1100 for the dual-slip Blob bundle. Seems they're offering more posters through the bundle than with the standard edition.

The new counter of their site is weird. It say they only have 163 of the standard Blu-ray for Evangelion 3+1, which was about the same number that was there yesterday. The release isn't limited, so I'm not sure why the count started off so low.

What kind of BS is SF trying to pull, copying VS's stock counts as if they limit pressings the same way? So the NOTDs posters are selling out (maybe they only made about 500 per film on the single movie packages), but now some of them are showing under 2k copies, but that's BS, cause they'll sell these 4ks for years, including the additional copies that go to Amazon and other retailers. Are they limiting the slips now like VS or is it total BS and after the counter runs down they'll just repress after a bit of time to drive up FOMO.

They do with store exclusives, which is where the stock counter would come in handy most. They may hae changed how many posters they make, or perhaps which bundle gets the most inventory, but it's not really relevant to the stock counter other than you're now more aware of how many units with posters they have left. After that amount sells out, then they switch to the main inventory amount.

I don't think the counter has anything to do with posters, does it? The regular poster version of NOTD says there's 1149 copies left, but the poster's all sold out.

It does. They have a small inventory amount initially, which is for the poster, and then when that sells out, they switch the inventory count to the standard wide release.

Here's an example we can track. Night of the Demons 2 shows 1 in stock (it was 2 an hour ago), so presumably when that's sold, it should switch to saying the poster is sold out, and the inventory number going way up.

Edit: Now sold out and now shows stock of 550

So just to be clear, you are saying the initial in stock number with the circled check next to it is a smaller quantity and that is the number with posters left? then once that number goes to zero it is then replaced by a much larger in stock number and that is how many remaining units now, they have in stock to sell without the poster? Example: Motel Hell now shows 169 in stock and the poster is still available. So, I am assuming once that 169 goes to zero the poster will run out and it will be replaced with a much larger in stock number?
