And i hope on friday they will announce a couple of december titles and maybe Big Trouble in Little China will finally get it's release date and see what the cover art looks like and hope it's a new remastering.

A CE for Demolition Man would be amazing!

Personally I would like THE AWAKENING from WB

I suppose it could be one or two other labels (Arrow, maybe Severin), but perhaps the recent 50s titles have done well for Scream so they're looking to secure the Arkoff titles too.

Anyone know what CFHB is? Thanks in advance

I picked up From Beyond and Of Unknown Origin today. From Beyond was a blind buy and I loved it. Hadn't seen Of Unknown Origin in a long time so that one was a lot of fun to revisit. Really cool flick. Both have excellent blu ray releases too.

Does anyone know if it might be a possibility for SF to release a decked out collector's edition for Needful Things at some point even though Kino already released a blu ray in 2015? I'd love an edition that has the 3 hour uncut version and the 2:20 minute cut that seems to be the director's preferred cut before the studio made him cut 20 minutes before it's theatrical release.

With Charlton Heston? I'd love that on Blu-ray as well. Had wanted to see it for a long time but could never find it, so I just blind bought the WAC DVD last November after seeing they had released it. Really enjoyed it and even managed to snag a copy of the soundtrack earlier this year just before it apparently went out-of-print.

Indeed i can envision Joel Robinson doing the cover art as you can reverse to the iconic poster art.

Plus new 4K restoration from film materials as with WB/Scream they have been knocking it out of the park even In The Mouth of Madness and Willard 2003.

And can include vintage HBO behind the scenes featurette , new commentary with the director and producer even Snipes, interviews with Bullock, Snipes, Snipes, Bob Gunton, Denis Leary, Benjamin Bratt and the director even effects artists.

footage of stunt work and how they did some of the effects, deleted scenes, trailers/teasers, TV spots and poster-and-still gallery.

It be a dream.

I’ve been thinking about blind buying Of Unknown Origin for a little while. I keep going back & forth on it. From Beyond is indeed awesome though.

I’m probably going to get at least the former from Australia, so as to not reward Scream Factory’s art department for what is certain to be another hideous cover. If it turns out that they have killer extras, I’ll buy it second hand. I’d also rather not wait for the U.S. release. AFD is an 80s favorite of mine. Haven’t seen it since the days of underage VHS rentals from the chain drug store in my hometown, nearly 30 years ago!

I saw it so many times, and am happy to say I was never bothered by the ending. I’m curious to see if I still feel the same way.

I love it. I'd rank it above all other killer rat films.

One of my favorite things about the horror genre is that sentences like the above are not only possible, but common. The fact that we can have an entire sub-genre of films involving nothing more than killer rat's is just fantastic.

It's an awesome thriller IMO and I would say a safe blind buy. Don't think of it as a creature feature but more of a psychological thriller. Don't get too caught up with the trailer for it either. Warner marketed it as something much bigger than it actually is suggesting the supernatural or a big monster.

Imagine a cartoonish slipcover for "The Tenant". I can't think of many films where a cartoonish SF slipcover would be less appropriate.

Nobody liked I Trapped the Devil? Under 5 rating on IMDB. Reminded me of Mondo Macabro's The Devil's Business, which I don't hear much about either and doesn't have much better of a rating. I understand why these don't appeal/entertain most people, but I enjoy these flicks.

i picked up i trapped the devil after catching it on a stream. i really enjoyed it. i found it eerie. the ending/reveal was a little generic, though, but not enough to hamper my overall enjoyment.

My heart still belongs to Deadly Eyes, but I dig most films in this sub-genre.

I noticed that THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS, A SIMPLE PLAN, and BREAKDOWN streaming on Amazon Prime. Really hoping these (especially BREAKDOWN) show up through Shout...

All 3 of those would be buys for me. Great movies.

Is Breakdown streaming in anamorphic widescreen?
