First off I’m upset I didn’t know about this sale. Second I’m happy didn’t know a bout this sale it saved me a lot of money and my marriage.

Is this sale still going on?

Why does someone keep changing the database front art for April Fool's Day to the reverse art? I know some people might not prefer it but at the very least keep the entry consistent with other Scream Factory releases.

Maybe because they think that the front art is fanmade due to it being so bad?

Seriously though, that art is really bad.

Personally I think it's the most creative original art Shout has done yet. It's reflective of the movie in multiple ways while being different from anything they've done before.
That's not the reason why it should be the "front" art on the database though. It's just that every other releases' front art is the cover on top when the product is shipped out. Just keep it consistent, yo.

It's better than the bland original in my opinion. It's also likely going to get extra notice due to it's unusualness. Having worked at a very big ad agency at one point, I have to say it's very creative and will attract more sales than the original poster art.

Unfortunately, no. It was only for a few days and ended yesterday. My cart started with 8 titles and totaled out to only like $110 I had to cut it down considerably because I just didn’t have the money to blow. When I was at 20% off there were some great deals to be had (especially considering the bonus coupons I would’ve gotten). I’m still recovering from VS and Severin’s Black Friday sales, so I had to settle for the 15% off tier....

...Although, now that I look at it, I think there was a glitch somehow. My subtotal before discount was only about $68 but I still made out with the 15% off!

From the email they sent out:

Yeah right. By who? the only people who buy from boutique labels are guys like us who collect blu rays and like these films.

I've never seen April Fools Day, but have always wanted to see it. I'll be picking this up, despite that horrible new artwork. I prefer the original art.

Looking to grab copies of Species II and Halloween II steelbook - is Shout the best (cheapest) source?

Has Scream Factory commented on why the slip cover for Big Trouble in Little China doesn't have Collector Edition on the title?

I just checked prices a couple places and it does look like direct from Shout would be the way to go.

The Barbie doll cover makes it look like a movie for teen girls

Michael24 · 12-12-2019, 08:14 PM

I love that people always complain about "floating head" covers and say they want more creative ones, then when Scream does offer up a really creative cover people still complain. LOL!

A bunch of Barbie dolls laying around is considered creative these days? Oh boy.

Have you actually seen the movie? That scene was the only part that creeped me out. It's a great moment to include as the cover.

Once you see it you may think the new art fits (or not).

It'll be nice to see the color footage at the end restored nicely.

The more 50's horror and sci-fi released on blu, the better. Bring on some more Shout, such releases from this era are always day 1 for me!
