No, nobody did. But when 14 titles are announced in the Scream Factory thread, I guess I was expecting to see 14 horror titles, maybe some HK horror titles. Guess I was dead wrong.

But doesn’t the HK sub-label have its own thread? I don’t know as I don’t follow HK releases.

This time the misunderstanding is on you not Shout.

Well, I wouldn’t have posted the post you just quoted.

OK. I just learned something.

Yeah, the Shout Factory thread is almost always inactive and this one is used as the main thread for all their releases. I've said it before but these two threads should be merged since the other one hardly gets any attention.

I think you’re right.

Agreed, just like the Arrow US and Arrow UK. Everyone knows what titles are UK and US exclusive. And since each title has their own thread, it just splits discussion.

I think it's been suggested before that the thread title should be changed to something along the lines of Shout / Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread. I'd prefer that, and TripleHBK could still keep the focus of his posts in the OP on Scream stuff.

@ShoutFactoryOfficial, are you able to say whether or not Poltergeist III, Robocop 3, Amityville II or III have some kind of rights issue that is preventing them from being licensed? Not asking to confirm whether or not Shout has plans for these, just to shed a bit of light on their baffling absence on 4K so fans can confidently source releases of these titles elsewhere if a available

[jt839]

The lack of Amityville 2 and 3 on 4k is baffling.

Those would all be day one buys for me.

Who is Amazon price matching Shout titles from? A handful of 4K titles have been popping up at $24, which is "doable" lol. I may bite for Alexander Revisited at that price.

All of these Day One for me!!

And I'll take a 4K upgrade of Ghost Story (1981) as well!!! Eva Galli deserves her due!!

MGM doesn't want to license them out, sad to say.

I believe it's matching the B&N Shout Select sale.

I picked up Sky Captain and Bring It On from Barnes. Was more than happy to get some new releases at a little discount instead of waiting a long time for a sale.

Source?

I’m going to take a guess and say Halloween 3 and Halloween 4 steelbooks are on the slate for October. Since the first 2 are getting re-releases in September.

You're probably right but dear god I hope you're not.
