Thank GOD we all think differently! *whew*

Getting "Sleepaway Camp" only makes me wish they were putting out part 2 as well. While the first is no doubt classic, part 2 is one hell of a fun slasher. I loved seeing the VHS artwork in Blockbuster as a kid with the Freddy glove and Jason mask, that sparked my interest big time as a kid.

Tried to watch part 3, but I could never get through it, just didn't have that magic the first two had in my opinion. Then what they tried a part 4 and abandoned it? If I'm correct. Never bothered to see the newest one they did.

I was 12 when I saw it at Blockbuster, and I thought "what kind of ripoff amateur hour BS is this?" and never watched the sequels. Now I'm reading post after post about how enjoyable the sequels are, so now I'm hoping they get a Blu release as well.

I like to think part 2 is really up there as a good sequel, can't say the same for the rest of the series though.

Random question, but are the stickers on these slipcovers easy to pull off?

Not sure. I like the stickers, so I leave them on. My favorite is the one on They Live. It's hilarious.

Looks like they said on Facebook they are not getting 2 and 3. This is hugely dissappointing as I have the excellent trilogy box set and would prefer to replace that, especially part 3 as it was heavily cut. Its still exciting news that we are getting part 1 but it feels like an inomplete release. It's dissapointing that I have so many incomplete series on Blu-ray. Someone needs to release Phantasm, Jaws 2, ect.!

And I agree as awesome as Sleepaway Camp is, Synapse made the announcement I was waiting for. Suspiia is HUGE! Synapse has been killing it lately. With Prom Night, Curtains, Tenebre, Phenomena and now Suspiria, Synapse is definitely the label to beat for 2014. It's great because they actually do the film transfers for all of their films!

Scream needs to step it up for 2014 and turning this announcement into a trilogy would be a good start!

Step it up? I think that Cat People, Night of the Demons, Sleepaway Camp, and a gaming of the system that is Warner Bros. (Nightbreed: TCC) is a fantastic start. Not to mention Nosferatu, Witchboard, and the frequently requested Slumber Party Massacre.

And how quickly you are to forget how many classic horror movies Scream has released in the last 13 months

If only you knew how wrong you really are.
Scream/Shout is great but they are no Synapse. Synapse would never allow some of the transfers that Scream were stuck with out of their offices (or into them for that matter)
And Night of The Demons is a lot of fun but will never even be able to touch the cinematic mastery of Suspiria.
Oh, and Grindhouse is better than Scream/Shout too.

How about you not argue over which company is better and just be glad they are both around release titles that are requested by us fans

Cherry Falls (2000)

Normally I wouldn't suggest Scream go after a title from 2000, but Cherry Falls has been neglected since its release 13 years ago. It was intended to get a theatrical release in Fall 2000, but got dumped on the USA Network and was severely butchered. I don't know if any of the cut footage (supposedly NC-17 worthy) still exists, but Scream could only do good for this title. The one and only DVD release it got (in 2001) is long out of print and was piss-poor to begin with. It was a double feature DVD paired with Terror Tract. I guess USA had no faith in Cherry Falls selling on its own individual release. It also contained no extras. Sadly, Brittany Murphy (RIP) is no longer around.

An uncut CHERRY FALLS would be awesome. Not a perfect movie (the killer's reveal is so laughable), but it's a really solid and clever modern slasher.

I totally agree!
It would be so cool.

Plus I must say that I really love the director's early australian works (so I won't be against a blu-ray release for another of his awesome feature: Metal Skin)

Who said Scream were bad?

People saying scream needs to step it up after so many great releases.

We know they don't currently have Sleepaway Camp 2 / 3, but when did they say they have no interest in doing them?

Aaahh.
Yeah, they've been doing good and with some of the titles they've picked up can only get better.
Hopefully they can start producing some more of their own transfers (at least for their Universal titles) once they start to turn more of a profit off these releases.

They've made new HD transfers for the films that didn't have an existing one.
Like X-Ray and Phantasm II. And they've done new ones of pre-existing HD tranfers, like The Fog.

But in all seriousness, they don't always deliver the best P/Q and A/Q possible, like with the upcoming Night of the Comet. It looks great, but it could be better. Its not bad by any means, but not perfect.

I find most of their releases look better than any DVD, and satisfy me most of the time. But they could look better, whereas Synapse blows me away almost every time.

All of that being said. Scream is definitely one of the best companies in the biz right now.

I just wrote my review up for "Night of the Comet" and was impressed with the whole package. That said, I did feel there was an aura of softness to the transfer. Not deal-breaking by any means, it just had a softer look than expected. Skin tones look good, especially in close-ups and colors pop really nicely like Catherine Mary Stewart's turquoise jacket and Kelli Maroney's cheerleader outfit. In addition, while very minor specks are seen on the transfer, I can't help but feel like this is one of the cleaner looking transfers from Scream.

I hope they at least do 2. It's been years since I saw it, but it's my favorite from what I remember.
