Some of the release that interest me and have never seen are:

Lifeforce
The Burning
Terror Train
They Live
Island

Movies in the collection I have seen:

Halloween 2 and 3 - like them both
The Fog - not a fan
Ninja 3 - cannot really remember it in all honesty
Prince of Darkness - not a fan
Swamp Thing - not a fan

You might want to look into The Howling. IMO, Scream did a great job with this release.

I would recommend The Burning, it's a very under rated movie and has a very similar look & feel to Friday the 13th parts 1 & 2.

Thanks. Ordering this and a non-Scream Factory BluRay, The Prowler. Both are blind buys.

"The Burning" is a quintessential slasher for me-one of the very best. "They Live" has abit of everything so can't go wrong with that either."The Nest" & "Terrorvision" are standouts for me too.

Thanks. Adding to the wish list.

I think I saw They Live way back in the day (with Rowdy Roddy Piper) but really cannot remember it.

Lifeforce looks very intriguing as well. Anyone have comments about that one?

I love Lifeforce, it's got space vampires and Mathilda May running around naked plus it was directed by Tobe Hooper.

[ultlife2013]

I blind bought last month the following SF releases:

They live
The burning
Lifeforce
The funhouse
The howling
The fog

Haven't watched any yet, waiting for October I suppose.

Yeah, this is one of the key reasons. Plus the PQ is supposed to be great.

Where is SHOUT/SCREAM located?

What kind of shipping do they use?

I got an email yesterday telling me PRINCE OF DARKNESS was shipped and was curious how long I should expect delivery to be. I live in Alabama.

Shout is located in Los Angeles, California. They ship US Mail. You should be receiving your copy soon, if not today.

Most of my orders placed through them have from their warehouse in Indianapolis. I'm in Ohio and its about two days delivery time usually.

Thanks guys. Just excited. Love PRINCE OF DARKNESS.
