For me, the obvious want's are ANOES box set and Child's Play 2/3... However there are a number of warner/Sony titles that I wouldn't be shocked to see... and then of course there is the looming possibility of the big Dawn of the Dead announcement which as far as double dips go, would likely overshadow most anything else including new to Blu Ray titles for many on this board.

CP 2 and 3 will most likely be announced for June to cash in on the new CP movie.

Just got done with Willard. Hadn’t watched this movie in at least 15 years, still enjoyed it. The Bluray looks and sounds great, going to watch the new interviews now.

I got the new Willard remake blu and it looks great and has nice extras too.

And who wants Cast a Deadly Spell on BD?

I hope so but I don't expect to hear anything any time soon. If these two materialize I expect them to show up towards the end of 2019. The obvious movie tie ins never seem to materialize when you expect them.

A few moments ago I scored a nice deal on the early Shout Factory Blu Rays of Forbidden World and Galaxy of Terror (Both for $25.50 shipped) on ebay... so I'm expecting March's announcements to now include remastered editions of each. With these Corman titles slowly going out of print I figured I had better jump on these before it's too late. All I have left to pick up is Piranha and I'll have everything I want from the early pre-scream Factory days of Shout Factory.

Out of those Corman Cult Classics my favorite by far is Humanoids from the Deep.

I've never seen either Galaxy of Terror or Forbidden World but have seem them mentioned/discussed on several Horror blogs, documentaries, and web specials so I'm looking forward to finally checking both out. I do however have Humanoids from the deep and did find it to be a fun film. Of the Early Shout Factory films my Favorite thus far has probably been The Stepfather.

I've got all of those but I admit I would most likely upgrade all of them with shiny new (and hopefully remastered) collector's editions!!

The Stepfather is one I wish would get a re-release with a new transfer. Love the film but the transfer is dated. I think that was one of their early Blu-ray releases too.

I've had Piranha on my "Movies" Amazon wish list since Dec 14 2012. Handy that Amazon give you this info, I guess. It's always "maybe I'll get this next month", then something else catches my eye. Now I own Piranha 2 but not 1. Will I grab it before it goes OOP? I guess we'll find out!

it's a mediocre at best transfer. This movie deserves better... a LOT better!

Would love to have the two sequels on blu as well!

Haven't seen The Stepfather yet but watched Galaxy of Terror & Forbidden World on Prime Video sometime last year. That was good enough for me as I'll never really feel the need to watch them again.

Haha, that doesn't exactly fill me with confidence but I waited to pick these up as long as I did as I wanted to get a good price on them and so I feel like this was a pretty sweet deal to dive in on. ($10 + $2.75 shipping per film).

Is this true? I hadn’t heard... Pretty sure I’ve got all of the ones that I want, but I should double-check if the end is nigh.

[kngtmat]

I still like to see 90's Black Scorpion films on BD.

Here's what we know... Slumber Party Massacre 2/3 disappeared a few months back, Death Race 2000 was noted as possibly being OOP yesterday/today. There is a lawsuit currently ongoing regarding ownership of the library between Shout Factory and Corman's family, so it's anyone's guess as to whether these titles will be reprinted or not... Perhaps most importantly, these are nearly 10 year old titles so it wouldn't be all that surprising to see them slowly fade away soon. It could all be coincidence of course, but with anything horror, it's always better to play it safe and get what you can, when you can.

[Rayjg]

Have they released any Corman titles lately or was The Unborn the last?

I too have been picking up the Roger Corman Cult Classics in the past month or so, ever since the Slumber Party Massacre 2/3 problems. I still intend on grabbing Forbidden World, Galaxy Of Terror, Battle Beyond the Stars and Star Crash.

I was able to easily pick up Humanoids From the Deep, Piranha and Rock N Roll High School. Death Race was more difficult, but I lucked into a copy for $20. I definitely think Death Race has to be OOP. Oh and though I’ve had it for years, I highly recommend the Women In Cages collection to everyone.
