Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

[Kenneth M]

Hey ShoutOfficial, I want to say a quick thank you for being a gentleman when the accusations fly. Hope the demeanor and coms continue with the fans here. That alone incentivises me to support you more than your silent competition.

Saw that you launched the 3% off deal. Nice!

At what time is the Shocktober sale going to drop?

And just a few quick comments:

Thank you for finding and giving us the complete HD release of "Fear City". You are legends in my book for that. Second, that 4K of "Rolling Thunder" was completely unexpected and so very welcome. Another huge and unexpected release I wanted to personally thank you for. And lastly, if you could please try, continue to try, or do whatever it could possibly take to get us an uncut "Nighthawks", it would be most appreciated. There are rumors a suit is blocking that from happening, and I'm not aware of the intricacies involved, but if even in jest, you guys plant some seeds from time to time for us fans, it would be most humbly appreciated. That particular release would be mega for me. My most wanted by a mile.

Thank you!

Shocktober officially goes live on the site this Friday, Oct. 4 @ 10am PST.

Can we expect more massive monthly drops or was December a one-off?

I remember you posting about Benson before (along with One Day at a Time), hoping myself that further seasons of Benson would get physical media releases.

Since you're here Shout!, some questions:

-Will Ted include both Theatrical and Unrated Versions?

-May we please have official confirmation that the audio for the first 3 Wallace and Gromit shorts will be presented in the correct pitch for everything (music, dialogue, sound effects) for the new set coming up (A Matter of Loaf and Death is still in its correct pitch, so no need for corrections on that)? Also, not that it matters, but will Were-Rabbit have the UK "Marrow" audio or the US "Melon" audio?

The website specs have a runtime of 108 minutes and say unrated under rating, so it’s probably just the unrated version.

When this first was hinted, I made jokes about it, but did say if it were free, it'd be totally cool. Well, it's free, so I give them props for doing something for their customers without making it a subscription service.

Frequently Asked Questions

That's cool that it's free to join. They sent a survey out some time back, which I took. A number of the proposed models they were asking about had a yearly fee attached. I wouldn't have gone for that at this point in the game - but a free membership is win-win.

[MifuneFan]

Yeha, a free club that gets you credit back is great. I could see them having a paid one in the future with more perks, and perhaps higher cashback incentive. Maybe including a subscription to their streaming service, etc..

[Bradsdadg]

Just joined/linked my account to the club. Was glad to see I didn't have to create a different login or anything

[postmodel]

Yeah this seems like a solid deal being free. No harm in signing up especially if you already have an account on their site. Just in time for the sale starting Friday too! No coincidence there I’m sure

Not of This Earth with Traci Lords, perhaps? Maybe? Please?

[Zukb]

Shout Factory is no longer what it used to be. Lackluster releases, lame special features, bad ancient transfers. The pandemic broke these people in my opinion. Will be supporting releases from other labels over them going forward.

[guccipunkstar]

I signed up in hopes they send me that blockbuster esque membership card in the future

Yeah, you've expressed this already.

I barely buy direct from Shout anymore so a loyalty scheme wouldn't benefit me much, even if it's free. Maybe if they got rid of poster bundles. Still, someone would have to buy a sh!t ton of Shout titles to see any real benefit.

[Metalbeast]

Hopefully more Corman titles are coming. Would love to see Not Like Us on Blu-ray.
