Louisville, KY and if you're signed up for myUSPS it will show that the package shipped from PSI SYSTEMS, INC.

They're gonna have some trouble with shipping ROTLD considering how it ends.

Btw, very impressive collections.

The whole release is a cardboard dig-pak. I get what they were going for with the whole Centipede thing, but it does through off the uniformity. Every other release Scream has had, even if special packaging, has had a standard amary case inside.

Thanks man! Considering your name is on most of these, that's high praise.

I really hope Scream Factory can get the license for the Jaws sequels. I hope Universal have changed their minds.

If it was only Jaws 3 and 4 that would be great. Jaws 2 already has extras waiting to port over for a release if Universal wants to do their own.

I'd love to see bonus materials to Jaws 3 and Jaws 4. Terrible films but so is Halloween 3, but the extras on that disc is outstanding and adds enjoyment to the films.

My dream disc
Jaws 3
-new interview with Joe Alves
-2d and 3d version
-behind the scenes home videos
-interviews with cast and crew
-archival Jaws 3 interviews and excerpts
-trailer

Jaws 4
-new interviews with cast and crew
-original ending
-TV cut

Even bad films deserve special features. It's like film school. You learn from the good and the bad and hearing the filmmakers intentions. No one sets out to make a bad film. It would be interesting to hear from people involved. Specifically Joe Alves on Jaws 3 and how that film became what it is versus Jaws 3, People Zero.

I gotta say, even though it's been released before, out of all the titles Scream Factory has gotten their hands on this past year this might actually be one of their more exciting releases. Here's hoping they can get their hands on documentary: More Brains! A Return to the Living Dead.

What I don't understand is why Universal won't give license for the sequels yet they won't release them on blu-ray?

Something tells me Universals long gestating attempts at remaking Jaws might have something to do with it perhaps.

Halloween 3 terrible? Speak for yourself there. I think it's a fantastic horror movie that continually holds up.

I think this was inevitable really, given that the June titles will be known in a couple of weeks, and at this stage Lady in White is the only known classic title to be among them, given that Return of the Living Dead seems to be coming in July. Scream usually average 4-5 releases a month, so I'm hoping for 3 announcements really. Fingers crossed for Rolling Vengeance and Enemy Territory.

[StingingVelvet]

The pleas and cries for crappy Jaws sequels never ends. Can't believe Universal don't want to make money off it. The DVD masters are pretty ugly though, maybe they don't want to invest in making them look better.

Kind of makes sense to me. The movie does take place on July 3rd.

Hoping for the original soundtrack even more.

Excellent hoping they can grab a few classic licenses "The Night God Screamed" or "Tag: The Assassination Game".

And that's just fine. I'm not pretending it's the holy grail of horror. Then again it is better than Halloween 5, Resurrection, RZ's Halloweens

When are we going to know the 3 winners of the Love Is In The Scare contest?

I thought they said they would announce the winners on the week of the 15th?

Universal did release Tremors in a rough state (then quietly released a less rough Blu-ray) so I wouldn't put it past them to release an old master.

I also hear that the master for Jaws 3 and 4 is new on the 3 pack DVD. I don't have them so I can't confirm it.

Congrats to our "Love Is In The Scare" contest winners Jim Sheppard, Dave Magniarini and Phil Truman - they each won 14 Scream Factory titles of their choice!!

Back to New announcements for a moment... I own the Old UK release for Candyman and while it's better than nothing, a fresh scan for a new US release would be great and right up Scream's alley. Hopefully with this recent deal with Universal it's a possibility.
