Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

I'm pretty sure My Boyfriend's Back was a Disney title, not Sony.

Apt Pupil has been OOP for a while, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that film is now untouchable ala Clownhouse.

I could see Candyman as a possible fit for Criterion, too.

yecchhh... I see. I was going to say "what about the X-Men movies but then I realized that APT PUPIL had a pretty young Brad Renfro in it.... not quite the same as CLOWNHOUSE but I see the connection now.

Unless there was an incident tied to the filming of Apt Pupil itself, I would think it would be different than with Clownhouse where an actor was abused during the filming of the movie.

How about Heavy Metal in a CE with 2K or 4K remastering plus new extras like the "Heavy Metal revisited" documentary on how it became a cult classic, trailers, TV spots, radio spots, poster and still gallery, new interviews and all that?

I don't see Candyman as a good fit for the Criterion line at all. It's more in line with SF especially as a CE.

yeah I would be flat out shocked if Criterion picked that one up...

I can definitely see it as a Scream Collector's Edition

Now this is far more complicated than other studios, given the relationships with Twilight Time and in particular Mill Creek. The announcements of The Tingler and Strait-Jacket at least confirms that some titles Mill Creek put out on DVD could be available to Scream. Their arrangement with Sony is obviously peculiar, as that Charles Bronson set confirms, so it could even be that Scream could get access to titles Mill Creek have released on Blu. Anyway, I'm going to separate this list accordingly. Obviously there will be titles I've missed, so just let me know and I'll add them. I expect this is particularly true of post-2000 titles, which seem to be mostly awful in any case.

Also, I'm aware that some of these already have region-free Indicator releases. We can discuss that and other concerns in subsequent posts, this is merely a list of titles.

To start with, titles without a US Blu-ray release (to my knowledge) which do not (yet) appear to have been licenced to Image, Mill Creek or Twilight Time:

[Show spoiler]
The Soul of a Monster

Zombies of Mora Tau
The Werewolf
Curse/Night of the Demon

Berserk!
The Mad Room

The Mind of Mr Soames
Fragment of Fear
A Reflection of Fear
See No Evil

Shadow of the Hawk
Obsession
Warlords of Atlantis
Eyes of Laura Mars
Ravagers

Runaway
The Bride
Cold Steel
The Stranger
Cameron's Closet
The Kiss
The Seventh Sign
Monster High
Hit List (not sure if this is still with Sony)

Now, titles which have been licenced to Mill Creek for DVD, but have not yet been released by them on Blu-ray (I've omitted Hammer titles since it's likely they'll do any remaining ones):

[Show spoiler]
Return of the Vampire

The Black Room
The Man They Could Not Hang

The Breed
She Creature
The Cave
The Hunt for the BTK Killer
Black Water
Vinyan

Now, titles previously released on Blu by Sony, and not subsequently licenced out to Image or Mill Creek for Blu-ray (to my knowledge). I've left out Ghostbusters 1+2 and Bram Stoker's Dracula, since there is no way Scream could top existing releases:

Wolf
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Quarantine
Prom Night (2008)
30 Days of Night

Next, titles released by Twilight Time, now sold out:

[Show spoiler]
Fright Night
The Blob
John Carpenter's Vampires
Christine
Body Double
Night of the Living Dead
Enemy Mine
Mindwarp
First Men in the Moon
Mysterious Island
Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger

Titles licenced to Mill Creek for Blu-ray release. A few of these appear to be OOP (Original When a Stranger Calls, Happy Birthday to Me), and some were already released on Blu by Sony:

Darkness Falls

What, no Nightwing on that list...epic fail

[jmat91]

Seeing how Twilight time don't carer about genre titles anymore, Screams access to the sony catalogue is a dream come true!

It is a dream come true.

How about some foreign titles like Ju-On The Grudge or Rec 1 & 2 on BD?

Nah its a lot better than a lot of crap on that list. Its a different setting and setup than most. Not great for sure but unique.

[DenOfEarth]

Oh i remember Nightwing on TV as a kid, hadn't seen that in a long time.

I keep thinking some label will release a special edition of Heavy Metal after seeing the current release drop to $7.

[Jobla]

Some titles I'd like to see from Scream:

PRIVATE PARTS (1972)
THE MAD ROOM (1969)
LET'S KILL UNCLE (1967)
HOMICIDAL (1960)
BRAINSTORM (1965)
THE TODD KILLINGS (1970)

[derpsnerf]

I need a Scream Factory released Ernest Scared Stupid. That would be amazing. The OOP blu ray just isn’t enough. I’d love some special features.

I believe Kino might have plans on that since they are doing touchstone

I suggest you take a closer look at the list, under 'titles which have been licenced to Mill Creek for DVD, but have not yet been released by them on Blu-ray'.
