Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

[risky1975]

the house that dripped blood is the best ****ing news ever!!!!!

[jmat91]

more 70s obscure titles announced. I'm keen on all of them, but the casual blu ray collector may not have any interest.

[Lacrimosa]

The lineup for May looks incredible.

Westchester Films owns this, and Shout bought this company back in 2014. Bit of a no-brainer that they'd release it once old video agreements expired.

This is what I'm talkin' about.

I saw this film as a kid and loved it. I especially remember the last segment where the actor obtains the vampire cloak. Definitely getting this.

Is someone going to bother listing them here?

"We are now taking pre-orders for our upcoming release of two early 60’s shockers DOCTOR BLOOD’S COFFIN and THE VAMPIRE AND THE BALLERINA, both which make their Blu-ray format debuts in the U.S. & Canada this May!
DOCTOR BLOOD’S COFFIN (Street Date: 5/15): After being dismissed from medical school because of his devious experiments, Doctor Peter Blood returns home to join his father's practice. He still believes he can create the perfect human, so he continues his experiments in an abandoned mine where he attempts to revive a rotting corpse. But Dr. Blood needs a living "donor" to create his "perfect human" and soon people start to disappear from the nearby village. This shocker stars Kieron Moore (The Day Of The Triffids) and Hazel Court (The Curse Of Frankenstein, The Masque Of The Red Death) and was directed by Sidney J. Furie (The Entity, The Ipcress File).
THE VAMPIRE AND THE BALLERINA (Street Date: 5/22): Shot in and around the grounds of an ancient Italian castle, this creepy and atmospheric thriller follows a company of beautiful ballerinas on tour, when they become stranded within its sinister, stony old walls. They have no idea that a horror legend two thousand years old is about to come alive in the form of a group of vampires, all thirsting for blood ... especially their nefarious and brutal queen. "Coupled with the smooth direction of Renato Polselli is some really fantastic cinematography that uses lighting and shadow effectively to make this film really come alive" (The Telltale Mind) ... and keep you firmly transfixed at the edge of your seat!
Pre-order now DOCTOR BLOOD’S COFFIN @ https://www.shoutfactory.com/product...lood-s-coffin… to receive early shipping.
Pre-order now THE VAMPIRE AND THE BALLERINA @ https://www.shoutfactory.com/…/the-v...-the-ballerin… to also receive early shipping."

Vampire and Ballerina should look gorgeous in HD - it's textbook Atmospheric Italian Gothic! I appreciate the 70's kick SF has been on lately, but I'm still hoping we get at least a couple of 50's titles this year.

As long as we're speculating on potential Westchester titles, I'd like to cast my vote for The Creeper and Zaat!

Olive hasn't released a horror title in a while unless I missed something. They seem to be focusing on obscure dramas these days. I think the days of titles like Night of the Demons 2 and The Boogens are over at Olive.

They just released THE RETURN OF THE APE MAN and THE VAMPIRE'S GHOST in October.

VAMPIRE AND THE BALLERINA is just the English dub, huh? PASS.

[Respectjuice]

Quick Question. I've never ordered from Scream before and was wondering when you preorder do they charge immediately or when the item is going to be released? Was going to make my order for "It's Alive" since I don't see it on Amazon yet. Thank you.

[cousineerie]

Very exited about an early Italian Gothic and I can live with an English dub if the picture is lovely to look at.

I haven't ordered from them in awhile but last time I did I was charged right away.

[redrunner97]

Went on a little bit of a buying spree tonight and pre-ordered several titles but also threw Texas Chainsaw Massacre II into the mix.

I'm really gad to finally be able to upgrade my MGM disc. This is a really fun movie and I haven't seen it since selling off my disc to buy the Collector's Edition a couple years back. I waited way too long to trade up! lol

Thanks again for the member who hooked me up with a nice slipcover (at a very reasonable price!) so I don't have to worry about that.

Another Warner title has been announced for May.

Of Unknown Origin (1983)

[WesReviews]

Yeah... that pretty much confirms the Warner deal. Woohoo!

[WesReviews]

So... does this mean that Scream Factory now has access to Alice Sweet Alice now, and can assist in the restoration effort for a Blu release?

[Member-222782]

OMG. A potential Warner deal I won't get too worked up until we know for sure these aren't just titles that Warner lost the rights to. Fingers crossed
