I guess leaving that review on Trustpiolot ended up working for me (I have edited the review and made it positive)

You should wait till you actually receive it

Killer Klowns From Outer Space 4K UHD Collector's Edition (Also a 4K Steelbook release too)

Gretel & Hansel (2020) 4K UHD

Orphan (2009) Collector's Edition (listed as a BD, but I wonder if it's 4K?)

Addams Family 1 & 2 4K (I think these may the animated films? Not sure yet)

The Island of Dr Moreau (1996) Special Edition Blu-ray

Dracula 2000 Blu-ray

I'm still searching, and I'll update the post if I get any more info, or cover art. Killer Klowns is huge obviously. I did get super excited when I saw Addams Family too, untilI realized it might just be the animated movies since Paramount released the first live-action film already.

I'm curious what you think is going on with The Faculty 4k (which was a leak you discovered, if I remember correctly, and not an official announcement anywhere). Do you still see it listed anywhere? Is there any word on its status? I'm really excited for that one and would hate to see it disappear into the ether like the Dusk till Dawn 4k.

Its still listed at Bullmoose, and I think Target too. Sometimes delays like this do happen. Fargo leaked well before it was actually announced. I don't imagine it's cancelled, but maybe they need more time to produce the extras they're planning.

I wonder why they release some titles as Blu Ray only and don't do a 4k edition? Like Lost in Space or Dracula 2000

[MifuneFan]

My internet was down all day ..but it's back, and I got cover arts for you all! So yeah, unfortunately Orphan really is just a Collector's Edition Blu-ray. The Island of Dr. Moreau will be a Collector's Edition as well, and has some pretty wild artwork, which I wasn't expecting. Official announcements will likely be on Monday.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space 4K UHD Collector's Edition (this art may not be final, and the 35th anniversary blurb may be dropped)



Killer Klowns From Outer Space 4K Steelbook



Gretel & Hansel (2020) 4K UHD

Lost in Space only has a 2K master available to Scream as per the usual from Warner.

Dracula 2000 could also only have a 2K master available.

The lack of a UHD for Orphan is really odd.

Looks like I’ll be grabbing both versions of Killer Klowns.

I’m just going to make it easy on myself and get both. I really wish they’d do bundles with regular, steel, 2 posters, maybe an extra slip and leave out the prism and art cards. That just jacks the price up on things no one really wants.

[Frightener22]

Doesn't appear that the Addams Family double bill is under the Scream banner but instead Shout Studios.

[starsteam]

Too kooky and not enough spooky for Scream.

[Savage_Blu]

In for Killer Klowns and Dr. Moreau!

Man, that steel is pretty sweet for Klowns...decisions, decisions

[Nosferatu31]

I'm happy with my Arrow Blu of Killer Klowns, money saved.

According to one insider production costs on a UHD can run up to 4x the amount that a standard Blu Ray release costs. I would imagine that Shout Factory considers overall expected sales and makes their decisions based on what they feel people will buy.

For me it's hard to imagine that Orphan or Dracula 2000 would have the sales numbers needed to justify a 4k release.

Many years ago I commented that I hoped that every movie ever would one day be able to see a Blu Ray release. Some folks openly scoffed at such a suggestion yet here we are with many, many films having made the jump which I think many of us never expected and so once again I know say that It would be nice to see EVERYTHING on 4k archival quality, but the facts remain that it just isn't necessary for many films and Blu Ray should prove to be more than sufficient.

I don't know that I'd spend the money on a 4k edition of Dracula 2000, but I absolutely will spend the money on a Blu Ray edition.

It is nice but I wait and see how the scream (and probably Arrow) 4K looks before I maybe buy.

[Jlouisbarrett]

Ughhhhhh, really wish the Addams films had turned out to be the live-action ones, or even the TV series on Blu. I’m surprised they are bothering to release the animated movies on 4K.

[redrunner97]

I hope Killer Klowns has a slipcover because the art makes it look like it's a standard 4K
