Not to cause any undue anticipation but...

We do have a Friday the 13th this month.
A new Warner deal looks likely.
The legal issue surrounding the Friday series will be decided by June according to recent reports.

Forgot about Red Eye, I'd buy that. Really quite enjoyed it.

These are titles I’ve been yammering for. Would love to see more Craven titles getting an upgraded 4K scan.

I’ve also been hoping that Romero’s Bruiser would get a release along the likes of Shout doing Raimi’s A Simple Plan and The Gift. And with this WB/Paramount deal I hope Zemeckis’ What Lies Beneath gets a release.

I really hope we Get Jason Goes to Hell uncut at some point. If there is a second Warner deal, this needs to happen.

And at this point, Scream should just nab Carpenter’s remaining titles. I’m sure Escape from LA, Dark Star and The Ward have a higher chance of release. But I’m sure Halloween or Christine will never get a SF re-release due to one being popular currently and the latter having a recent 4K release from Sony. Ghosts of Mars totally belongs on SF but I guess Mill Creek snagged it.

RedHarvest · 12-04-2019, 07:20 PM

Think SF will eventually do a Carpenter boxset? I have all of them (save for the ones on 4K I've upgraded), but I can't say I wouldn't buy a big JC set.

HipsterTrash · 12-04-2019, 07:47 PM

I mean, that’d be some serious triple dipping considering the initial releases followed by the steelbooks.

It'd be a hilarious waste of resources...so my guess is, we see it sooner rather than later.

I don't think so. Even if they do get Escape from L.A. from Paramount, they're still missing pieces of his complete directorial filmography.

Dark Star (VCI)
Halloween (Lionsgate)
Ghosts of Mars (Mill Creek / Sony)
Masters of Horror: Cigarette Burns (Lionsgate)
Masters of Horror: Pro-Life (Lionsgate)
The Ward (ARC Entertainment)

I don't think Halloween is going to be as doable here as it was for the [then] complete Halloween box set, and I think that's going to be the biggest hurdle. For one, Lionsgate owns all of Anchor Bay's assets, but they're not Anchor Bay. I also don't think Malek Akkad / Trancas International has much incentive to help make it happen, like he did for the Halloween box set. He has a significant stake in all of the Halloween films, but he doesn't have any stake in any of John Carpenter's non-Halloween films. Whatever percentage he got for the Halloween box would be much smaller for a Carpenter box.

I was hoping for another announcement today, but I'm wondering if they might be done for the month. Usually they go on a roll with Scream announcements, it would be strange for them to miss out a day (particularly in midweek) and then announce something after.

Four titles for March seems a bit low. I'm thinking we might get a few more, or maybe even something next Friday. I really wish Shout/Scream would just do it Criterion/Arrow style and just announce everything at once instead of weird scheduling.

Gotta save something for Friday the 13th.

I actually like the staggered announcements. It gives us something to talk about over a longer period of time rather than just dumping everything on us at once.

Bug? Oh cool! about time.

Bones and Insemenoid both suck ass.

I remembered liking it along time ago, haven't seen it in a long time.

But Isemenoid and Bones i really disliked.

Well we got 4 in February. Perhaps they're slowing down a little in 2020? After all, there aren't many Hammer titles left now. Then again, if the rumours are true about them putting the Arkoff AIP library out on Blu, that should help pad out the schedule.

Sorry to hear about The Manitou not selling well. Glad to know that Superstition didn't make the list of underperformers, though. Both of these are exactly my type of horror film.

I'm going to blind-buy both. This is the type of stuff I like to find, and I'm grateful we have companies like Scream Factory, Arrow and Blue Underground, among others, still bringing us this stuff. I think it's fantastic that I've been watching horror most of my life and I'm still finding stuff to watch and enjoy. I can't tell you how many horror movies I've found thanks to these boutique labels...

Looks like 1973’s Frankenstein: The True Story is coming in March.

I’m almost 100% that’s what the title is. Their website glitches and I saw the cover and then the page refreshed and it was gone
