Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

[demonknight]

Here's my revised watchlist for the rest of the month:
Abominable Dr. Phibes
ROTLD 3
Videodrome
Lawnmower Man 1&2
Jason Goes to Hell
Freddy Vs. Jason
Suspiria
Deranged
Motel Hell
The Blob '88
Trapped Ashes
The Omen
In the Mouth of Madness
Blair Witch Project

I haven't seen any of these and have not included the ones I have already watched. May I have a review of Phibes, as it is on the VP collection. Thanks.
By the way, I'm only posting thos here because several of these have been asked about in the past.

Phibes is fantastic! Such a clever plot and an insanely cool Art Deco look to its visual design. Price is fantastic as usual and the death scenes are very cool.

I may also toss in the original Night of the Living Dead and The Mummy's Curse if I can get them out of storage.

My Prince of Darkness came today with a minty slipcover from Amazon!

Phibes is a Top 20 horror film for me. Think Saw, but with a much lighter tone and a much needed sense of humor that makes the film a whole heck of a lot more fun to watch. It's got amazing visual design (the psychedelic...20's?) and a great soundtrack to boot.

Like The Town that Dreaded Sundown, there are some bumbling detective antics, only they're a little more at the forefront here. It's probably more funny, than scary.

Bumbling detectives? Like Last House on the Left?
I still need to watch TTDS and Saw...

Sort of, but bumbling detective act fits a lot better in Phibes than it does in Last House on the Left.

The Arrow release of Beast Within next year will most likely have more extras, so I'll wait for that one

Can I ask why everyone keeps saying that? Not that I doubt believe it, but why?

[RiFiFi1955]

I have had my VP collection on pre-order from Importcd's and I just now see that today they have charged my card and the total amount is in my pending transactions, I would assume this means they are about to ship it

By the way, great review Frightener22!

Not that I'm upset about that, I'm buying them all, the more blu the better! Lol.

Saturn 3 was always going to be a Blu-Ray from the minute we worked out the deal with ITV.

Arrow regularly have at least one new commentary, booklet and several featurettes and interviews.

Consistently (As of recent) they have a fantastic track record, better transfers, better covers, and preferred region coding.

Blu-ray Unboxing / Review - The Vincent Price Collection - YouTube

Thank you! I enjoyed watching this review.

The excellent Biography supplement of The Fly Blu-ray mentions Vincent Price's displeasure at the increasing violence of the roles later in his career, and Witchfinder General is alluded to as the example. I would not be surprised to find it the weaker film in the set.

I've always wanted to see The Masque of the Red Death.

These films are really a blast. "Witchfinder General" is just very removed from the other Poe films and the Art Deco madness found in "The Abominable Dr. Phibes". "Witchfinder General" is a dramatic period pace with Price's performance being the best thing about it but even it isn't nearly as fun as his other roles. Overall, the set is phenomenal and totally worth owning.
