Any chance of SF getting the rights to the Final Destination films?

Silver Bullet and Tales from the Darkside Pre-orders are up with 18 x 24 rolled posters. Doesn't look like any 2nd slip/poster bundles for either yet.

Stephen King's Masterful Werewolf Novelette Comes Alive!

In Stephen King's thrilling adaptation of his novelette, Cycle Of The Werewolf, a peaceful town is suddenly terrorized by a maniacal killer. The townsfolk think a madman is on the loose, but a wheelchair-bound 13-year-old (Corey Haim, The Lost Boys) knows the truth ... a werewolf is on the hunt. With the help of his Uncle Red (Gary Busey, Lethal Weapon), young Marty Coslaw sets out to stop the half-man/half-beast before he sinks his teeth into another innocent victim. Now, time is ticking ... and the full moon is about to rise.

Brace yourself for some KILLER stories.

From the clever and creepy minds of Stephen King (Pet Sematary), Michael McDowell (Beetlejuice), George A. Romero (Dawn Of The Dead) and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (creator of Sherlock Holmes), comes an all-star anthology of horror.

To keep from being eaten by a modern-day witch (Deborah Harry, Videodrome), a young paperboy weaves three twisted stories to distract her. In "Lot 249," a vengeful college student (Steve Buscemi, Fargo) resuscitates an evil mummy to teach unsuspecting student bodies (Julianne Moore, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Christian Slater, Mr. Robot) a lesson in terror. Then, "Cat From Hell" is a furry black feline who cannot be killed ... he may have nine lives, but those who cross his path are not so lucky. Finally, in "Lover's Vow," a stone gargoyle comes to life ... to commit murder. In this classic cult favorite, fear comes in threes.

Just the Sonny Chiba vol 2 set for me.

Hoping there is an alternate slip or cover art for Silver Bullet as that isn't really doing much for me

That's actually the original 1985 one sheet from theaters.

But yeah it's pretty bland.

I mean, I'm getting it either way. It's one of my favorites. I must have a weirder sense of what is a big title though. I'm always surprised at which gets the big packages with goodies, etc.

Exciting for people who wanted November's Slate but unfortunately nothing for me...


I'm really hoping for Silent Night Deadly 4k.. the second on 4k too but it's not necessary...


What are the chances of Black Christmas (2006)? Or is that with Lionsgate

[DukeTogo84]

Okinawa Yakuza War is one of the best 70's gangster films not from Kinji Fukasaku or Hideo Gosha. I hope people give it a shot, because it's literally quite insane.

$70 for Police Academy? Not seeing new scans or any extras. I've passed on the Euro set for years that's been as low as $25....not seeing reason to give Shout business on that one.

That info won't be posted until later on.

Man, i feel the opposite. I always found this poster to be one of the all time great horror posters from the 80's. It tells you everything you need to know and it's moody as hell!

I still have my old VHS with the same art too. So much better than the one Scream factory had commissioned. That one looked like a cover art for Wolf Cop. It wasn't bad, it just did not remotely feel like Silver Bullet, imo.

I’m feeling like that’s definitely a December title or January cause the 40th Anniversary is next year. Scream already did a 4K scan of it a few years back so it would be a smooth transition.

That neither are on the front page or listed with posters yet at all makes me think both will have multiple options potentially. It was about 1 hour from now that The Blob with alt slip finally popped up last month, I ordered it very quickly after it did.

[starsteam]

When did they start using "Limited edition slipcover with first pressing of the new UHD/Blu-ray edition" in the description? I wonder if this means the three-month guarantee for slips is no longer in effect.

[TolerancEJ]

In all the excitement of the new releases, I just noticed there will also be Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas (TV Movie on DVD only, sadly). I gotta get that one too!

Not sure when it started, but I did see it with last months announcements too.

Great news about 4K's for Tales From the Darkside and Silver Bullet. In for both and will be keeping an eye on Shout's website for any news on bundles, like they did for Creepshow and The Blob.

I'll definitely be giving it a shot as I'm definitely getting that set!

Yes, I noticed that last year when we were speculating about the films in that first Chiba set. I told him, "Oh, that's where you got that from!"
