Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

Gosh Dang there are some really good Shout! Select titles during this sale from some of my favorite directors, and actors on there. I still wish some of the new additions to the sale were at a lower price like say Death to Smoochy at 12 dollars, and Rolling Thunder at 18 dollars, but still there's a great selection here. I finally picked up some titles I had been eyeing for months, or even years. I still wish Born on the Fourth of July was on sale as it's one of the most underrated war films ever made. I'll probably pick up The Deer Hunter the last day of the sale as I don't need to buy it immediately.

Don't think it was mentioned here, but you can also get extra 10% off at SF with the code SHOUT10.

No comment ..If it's like their Shaw Classics sets, it might be the same artist for all of the volumes

Haha it is kind of on the brink of becoming one of those crazy Nigerian movie posters. Not quite there, but nearly

That fact that it’s a volume one is the best part. Stoked to see what other titles they got with future drops.

New stock will not regenerate and that will be the end of stock on those items for the duration of whatever sale they're in. It can take weeks for a title not going OOP to restock, same as Vinegar Syndrome.
What Larry Cohen films on 4k have been leaked, I haven't seen the initial post about that.

Hell Up in Harlem and Black Caesar are in the Blaxploitation set…both are Cohen films.

I hope they will incl "Three the hard way" and "One down, two to go" in the next one.
