Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

I think someone said that the email promo codes can be stacked to each item in one order. It only lets me apply one promo code, can someone post how to apply more than one code to multiple items in one order? Thanks!

The Witches - $18.99
Man's Best Friend - $19.99
Someone To Watch Over Me - $19.99
The Craft - $24.43
Kalifornia - $24.43
The Mole People - $18.99
The Vengeance Of She - $19.99
The Return Of The Vampire - $18.99
The Body Snatcher - $19.99


I love that we’re getting some fantastic older titles from Scream next year.

How do you apply more than one $4 coupon? After I apply my first code when I click on promo code again the last code is there and deleting and entering a new code doesn’t give me another $4 off. The promo $4 coupon I received for the delays only took $4 off the whole order and not off each of the three items in my cart.

Damn Im getting a mega package tomorrow with:

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation
Starman
Dracula: Prince Of Darkness
Silent Night Deadly Night 2

Cant wait!!

Only other Dracula ive seen is Bram Stokers Dracula (92). How does this one compare to that? Looking to get into more Hammer films!

I believe it's only the Sleepwalkers code that will deduct from each item.

That’s unfortunate, I was going to buy a few items had the promo codes from the other titles take $4 off each item.

Also codes from THE THING steelbook.

I actually genuinely did appreciate the early email. "Hey, this MIGHT be a few days late, here's a code". Meanwhile, it still ended up showing up a day before street.

Yes, I can confirm The Thing code will deduct $4 from each title. I ordered Starman and Valentine and because of the coupon it dropped total under $50. I had to order a Charlie Chaplin DVD for $2 to get the free shipping lol

I'm loving the flood of these Hammer Dracula films. Warner Archive is doing a great job with the series; why do you think they shopped the sequel to Horror of Dracula )Dracula - Prince of Darkness) out to Scream Factory? Wouldn't it have been easier just to release it through the WAC label, like they just did with 1972 AD and Satanic Rites? Even Risen From the Grave and Taste the Blood came out on Warner Blu-rays. Anyone have any insight into why this particular deal might have been made?

My guess would be that this was/is a title that Scream Factory went after as a priority title during negotiations and that Warner didn't have any huge plans for it and figured what the heck.

The only codes I got are for delays of Exorcist 2, Trick r Treat and Texas Chainsaw Massacre Next Generation. They seem to only take $4 off the entire order batch.

I got a notice they cancelled my TCM TNG order based off an invalid credit card, which is odd because its the same one I have been using on pre orders.

As for Star Man and Dracula , I ordered a while ago for pre order, still no sign of shipping yet. Shout has really dropped far down in my book. From the high prices to the delays and the mangled posters its not worth ordering from them anymore. I completely understood the reason for shipping delays but this is unreasonable to not have a title I preordered from them not by street date when other outlets clearly have them and have shipped them out.

I wish I could stop buying them all together but I may just stick with amazon from now on.

[The Great Owl]

Scream has not shipped my Dracula: Prince of Darkness yet, but hopefully they will soon.

False alarm. I just received the shipping notification for Dracula: Prince of Darkness and Starman.

DRACULA PRINCE OF DARKNESS is not controlled by Warner. T release it they would have had to cut a deal with Studio Canal. Shout Factory cut such a deal.

[BarnDoor]

Dracula Prince of Darkness actually belongs to the Hammer estate in America. Scream have a deal in place with them, presumably a large one, perhaps around 15 titles (so far we've seen, in addition, Plague of the Zombies, The Vengeance of She and The Witches announced). They also have a deal with Warner which apparently includes some Hammer titles (likely Crescendo and Hysteria). Finally, it's strongly believed that they have a deal with StudioCanal, whose library includes 9 Hammer titles (perhaps the most intriguing here is Lust for a Vampire, not released anywhere else on Blu-ray).

So in sum, there will almost certainly be a hell of a lot of Hammer coming from Scream in 2019 and beyond.

I've been getting into Hammer this year and man oh man I hope we get a flood of Hammer films in 2019 from SF!

[darkness2918]

I hope we get Curse of Frankenstein from SF at some point.

[JasonMichael]

I would like:
Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires
Shatter
Fanatic
The Anniversary
Captain Kronos – Vampire Hunter
and pretty much anything else Hammer.

I had an issue with my copy of Silent Night, Deadly Night 2 which I bought from deepdiscount. I emailed Shout Factory and asked if they ever replaced discs directly, or if I'd have to return the entire thing to the retailer. They told me it was a retailer issue, and that they could only replace discs/slips etc if I had bought direct from them. Which whatever that's reasonable I guess.

This same month I contacted Synapse about a scratched disc I received of a title I had bought way back in June from deepdiscount. I explained I had just got around to opening it. They immediately put me in contact with someone from their distributor who is sending me a replacement disc, no questions asked.

I realize Shout is a bigger company and all, but it's incidents like this that really show the differences between them and most of the other studios. SHOUT (ha) out to Synapse and CAV Distribution for being awesome and showing SF how it's done.

The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires on blu, would be great.
I bought the DVD below, at BB a few years back for about $8.
