Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

When do they announce new Scream Factory's?

[BarnDoor]

Usually at the end of each month/start of the next. I expect they'll start announcing June's titles from the week commencing 26th February.

Of course, they might hit us with a surprise announcement at any time. Also, we might already know titles from leaks or special announcements, like SDCC, in which case it's a question of scheduling the releases and putting them up for pre-order. But right now, we don't know of anything else coming (the problematic Piranha II release aside), so every monthly schedule is a surprise at this point.

Ah got it! Thanks!

All it would take to convince me that Shout has a deal with Warner is one more Warner announcement. If these were one-shot deals then I wouldn't expect any more Warner titles to be announced. Thank goodness February is a short month so we'll find out soon enough

Agreed, makes me want to see the film just for the poster

TV version consists a mix of cuts and alternate, re shot footage.

It's worth taking 5 minutes and watch the climax of the film as it was crafted for prime time network television audiences

I wonder what the hold up is.

That is one iconic poster.

Alone In The Dark is a strange flick. I like it, I just feel like the team of crazies assembled is perhaps a bit too likable. There's no sense of danger, because we're basically rooting for them the whole time. Great ending too.

[AKORIS]

Alone In The Dark is awesome!!!

Would love to get a blu ray version---

the ending was actually kind of frightening! The remaining part is a hoot seeing Jack Palance and Martin Landau over acting to perfection!! The entertainment value from them is worth the price of admission 5 times over!

They probably need to make a new deal with Universal. Also, if a deal with WB is real, titles that have already been released multiple times (like the CP series) might be put on the back burner for a while.

I watched 68 Kill tonight. I quite liked it. Not for anyone bothered by gore, but I thought it was a fairly amusing story with good performances by Annalynne McCord, Matthew Gray Gubler, Alisha Boe, and Sheila Vand. The transfer left a little to be desired as there was significant banding in some of the darker scenes. That really shouldn’t happen for a 95 minute movie with no extras save a trailer although it wasn’t too distracting. This one does have nice reverse art with the original poster if anyone was wondering. I much prefer that to the stock art.

I watched this a couple weeks ago and for the most part dug it. Annalynne plays the ultimate crazy chick and I loved every minute she was on screen. When she wasnt I thought it lagged a bit.

So cool we got 4 licensed WB movies being It's Alive trilogy and Of Unknown Origin, how nice! maybe we might get Creepshow Collector's edition in new 2K or 4K plus with a Romero tribute featurette.

I wonder how long before Scream/shout starts putting out true 4K HDR BD releases?

UHD is region free, I’m sure that complicates things in regards to smaller labels getting rights for titles on UHDs.

[Jay Mammoth]

If they do have a deal with WB I hope they do a Nightmare on Elm St trilogy with the 1st three films.

Swung by Best Buy today and ended up picking up Firestarter and Slither for $14.99 each. I had Land of the Dead in my hand but just didn't want to spend that much today. I would have liked to pick up Child's Play but there were no copies with Slipcovers so I passed on it for now (especially since I already own the original collection set and the MGM Blu/DVD release). Sadly my copy of Poltergeist III from Hamilton books this last week was cancelled and so I won't be getting that one any time soon but I'm glad to continue to grow the collection, especially when it can be done in a physical store.
