One of my favorite Joan Crawford movies. It's a riot! She always gave it her all, even in a film like this which she had to know was full camp. She plays it like she is going for the Oscar. They don't make them like her anymore...

I've noticed that Shout! Factory has redesigned their website. Why is it that whenever a company redesigns it's website it almost always is much worse than the previous version? This new redesign is terrible! Whenever the black info banner on the top changes it's size, the entire webpage shifts up and down! When I'm trying to read something the whole page is constantly moving making me feel seasick! Also, that stupid "Need Help?" floating button on the lower left of the screen is so irritating! I never like when websites add that. Just have a link on the top or bottom of the page like the way it has always been. Worse yet, if I browse Shout's website on my phone, the button is almost right in the center of the screen, making it hard to see everything without constantly scrolling, and with the whole webpage moving up and down anyway, it makes viewing the website very tedious and ... not fun! And I just noticed that when you have Shout's website open in one tab and have a different tab in focus, then on the Shout tab it says "Come back". It seems they have more tracking elements on the page.

The overall new look of the webpage looks more "busy" and cluttered and with the added elements on screen appearing and disappearing as you scroll, the website is no longer any fun to browse through, let alone to purchase from!

There was nothing wrong with the webpage before (even though the version before that was better) so I wish they wouldn't "fix" a page that doesn't need fixing!

As a follow up question for you or anyone else that may know... have we seen any evidence whatsoever that the Pacific Trust Group has any plans for the titles they own since this deal was finalized some years back? Has there been any titles sold, licensed to other markets/distributors, or even any talk of them shopping them around for streaming or anything else? It seems odd to sit on an entire library of films without any sort of plans for them as I would have expected at least a few would have been licensed for release in some capacity.
From what i've heard the trust has no plans to sell or license any of the titles they own. They think they'll make more money just sitting on them and letting the film negatives rot.

Frankie Freako, a new horror movie from Steven Kostanski, the director of Psycho Goreman and other well-received horror films, getting a Blu-ray release in November. It was just released in select theaters. Extras include a commentary track with Kostanski, behind the scenes featurette, a conversation with the actors, and more.

Quote:
Workaholic yuppie Conor has a dilemma: no one in his life respects him! Not his boss, not his coworkers, not even his wife Kristina, who thinks he's an uptight "square"! Conor sees no way out of this existential rut until one night while channel-surfing, he catches a bizarre ad for a party hotline hosted by a strange dancing goblin: Frankie Freako. Conor is entranced by Frankie's promises of wild and freaky adventures, just a phone call away – could this be just the recipe to spice up his flavorless life?

Limited edition slipcover with first pressing.

I'm down for some Frankie Freako! Looks like a fun one, and from the Psycho Goreman director as well

Bummer that TIMECOP hasn't shown up yet. Maybe it's controlled by another company other than the one we thought.

My The Wolfman 4k has arrived. The discs look in good condition. The alternate slip cover is a little too big for the case but that's not a big deal.

Yes, I noticed that about the position of the Shout website pages not staying still (instead shifting up and down). As I suffer with vertigo etc. it was a bit disorientating. Did get some titles in the Shocktober sale though:

Halloween 4 (the combo pack release)
Motel Hell (the combo pack release)
Private Parts (the early-seventies film)
and Terror in the Aisles.

Either I'm not experiencing what you're experiencing or I'm not understanding the issue you're seeing.

Noticed the same problem (I'm using Firefox). As you scroll down to look at the titles, whenever you stop that up/down shift happens.

Are you referring to the mobile browser? I can confirm this on the Firefox mobile browser, but I'm not seeing it on the desktop verison nor the Google Chrome mobile or desktop.

The slipboxes for the original film and Return have been replaced with slipcovers. You might have some luck with Return depending on where you order from, but the original film’s has been long gone. As far as I know, the other three should be fine. I’m still seeing the slipboxes for them in stores.

Check your local Walmart stores for Halloween '78. The stores in my area have the hard box.

Thank you for bringing this up, each iteration of their website becomes more annoying. Their website circa 2022 was excellent and much easier to navigate. I think it has to do with their Shopify integration.

That whole "come back" blinking tab makes me never want to use the site again lol. I tried blocking the JS that makes these things happen but it just ends up breaking the page.

As bad as the website is, there are still a lot of titles I like to pick up!

It seems maybe they got a lot of complaints, since they took away the Shocktober sale countdown on the top of the page which was what was causing the whole page to shift up and down.

I liked when they showed all the titles that were OOP before. It was a good way for me to see which titles I missed.

The next thing they'll probably add are those annoying Cookie notices or the Sign-In with Google prompts.

But one good thing which I think may be new (I never noticed it before), you can see by the picture of the Blu-ray whether it comes with a slipcover or not.

There is a link on the top of the page that rotates with other announcements that says if you spot any bugs on the new website to let them know! I may let them know my displeasure with the website.
