Amazon, Best Buy, Target's B2G1, or Shout's site during (select) sales.

Amazon, most of the time. I've also directly ordered from Shout, and I have some stuff from them in my DDD cart as well.

Paramount is going to want a licensing fee regardless, I doubt they're going to charge Scream more if they want to put out a 3D version of Part 3, in fact, they'd probably appreciate it since Scream would likely need to foot the bill for any corrections made to a 3D master which Paramount gets afterwards. I honestly don't have much hope Scream will do the right thing beyond just slapping an uncorrected 3D version on disc like they did with Amityville and Metalstorm.

Regarding any issues with the 3D, they can be corrected and I believe they've said it's actually less work than dealing with dual-strip 3D films.

Most of my SF buys come from their own site during select sales, Deep Discount, and Family Video.

Those are good prices, but when you add shipping, it kills the deal. Unless you always buy multiple releases in 1 order.

Yep, order enough to get free shipping. Or live locally and don't pay shipping.

Meh, i preffer to order off Amazon prime. Free shipping, get it early, and I can just buy 1 movie at a time, if that's all i want at the time. Plus, i don't get charged until it actually ships.

I'm all for small business, but I prefer to support my wallet.

Besides, i'm not particularly fond of some of Grindhouse Video's business practices. Selling certain items (Creepshow 2) for scalper prices.

Probably 80% of my shout purchases in the last year have come from the Target B2G1, averaging around $16/17 per CE and $14/16 for Non-CE's. Other than that it's probably 15% the Shout Website directly and the final 5% would be second-hand/pawn shops.

Agree 100% on both statements. They are loaded with items at scalper prices.

Will this be the year we finally get a Blu-ray of Alone in the Dark? Been wanting this title ever since the introduction of the blu-ray format. Hoping Scream Factory announces it this year! I'd even be happy if Warner Archive releases it.

I've never seen the movie, but I've been interested in it ever since I saw clips of it on Terror in the Aisles as a kid.

I watched it when it was on Prime Video last year, really liked it. I’d buy a BD day 1.
