Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

Eventually, these returned discs, if not sold at retail, will be returned to Scream without slips. Do we expect Scream to keep buying new slipcovers long after they've finished pressing discs?

If people keep stealing, there will be a consequence to innocent consumers.

This is just the chickens coming home to roost.

Well said.

The only ones I would worry about are the Halloween ones since they are the oldest of that wave. They Live and Phantasm II should have them since you ordered direct. Now if you had ordered from Amazon then I would worry about all of them.

I already have They Live, Halloween II, and Phantasm II. I did not order direct (MovieMars).

I've been reading the posts about the Vincent Price Collection (it's great -- got mine yesterday!) and the wishes for a Volume 2. I'm amazed how often posts are mentioning Madhouse as a favorite! I watched that on Netflix recently after many years -- I was astounded how bad it was. I gave it 1 on the 31 Days of Horror Movies thread. Illogical story, cheap looking -- I hated it. Thought it was a total waste of Price & Cushing.

No disrespect intended to other VP fans, but it's funny how different opinions can be!

My choices would be:

1) Dr Phibes Rises Again
2) Tomb of Ligea
3) Tales of Terror
4) Diary of a Madman (haven't seen that in years!)
5) Last Man On Earth
6) Twice Told Tales

(The Castle films would be great too -- House on Haunted Hill and The Tingler)

Criterion announced the January titles...no Cronenberg or Lynch.

They still have two months before the announcements completely failed us.

Speaking of which, we may get an announcement in two days, when they run out of sale items.

Why is there a time limit to releasing Lynch or Cronenberg? Didn't know disappointment started Jan 1.

Well, it was promised to be announced for DVD or BD between January and December 2013... So. Yeah. 2 more months.

Theater of Blood (1973)
Madhouse (1974)
House of the Long Shadows (1983)
From a Whisper to a Scream a.k.a. The Offspring (1987)

Certainly enough for a few more sets

if I had to choose 6 titles (like the current release), I'd want to finish the Poe/Dr Phibes series....

If it were up to me, Volume 2 would be:

Tales of Terror (1962)
Twice-Told Tales (1963)
The Last Man on Earth (1964)
The Tomb of Ligeia (1964)
Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972)
Theatre of Blood (1973)

It doesn't leave a lot of high-demand titles for a Volume 3 or 4, but who knows if we'll even be lucky enough to get a third or fouth volume.

They are probably taking their time so it looks Criterion-esque. Its been said that they can hold onto titles for YEARS before announcing them.
Not saying that will happen with Lynch and Cronenberg.
Look how long its taken Don to get his Demons blu ray out since his announcement...I can see Criterion taking just as long, minus the many month in advance announcement.
Same with Scream Factory...they announced The Horror Show last year and it still hasn't come out yet, it is soon but these things really do take time.
I just hope we are all alive for our dream titles to come out or we aren't too old or sick to enjoy them ... Life is really scary with all the horrible things such as diabetes and cancer. Those are the real horrors in life. That's why I love movies so I don't think about the bad, and just enjoy the good

Yes, but I seem to expect more from Criterion.

Incorrect. It was never promised to be announced in a certain time frame. It was hinted at in a newsletter clue as coming soon, but never was it said that those clues were for any specific year. There are several titles in newsletters from 2012 that still haven't been released.

They would be my choices as well.

I hope Theatre of Blood gets a plush standalone "Collector's Edition" treatment. I love Theatre of Blood.

+1 The Children of the Corn may be a guilty pleasure for someone but I wouldn't lend to any impression it's "good."

Really? Criterion has never been timely in delivering hinted titles. They have been notorious for teasing then no delivering for a while now.

[Pete Rock]

The Children of the Corn remake will be airing on Syfy at 1:00 am for anyone who is interested.

[Jobla]

My volume 2 would be:

THE RAVEN
TOMB OF LIGEIA
TALES OF TERROR
TWICE-TOLD TALES
and any other two of the Price titles

and at some point, a Ray Milland two-fer:

PREMATURE BURIAL
X-THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES
