Halloween 4K UHD (1978) - Page 220 - Blu-ray Forum

I love Vinyls too.

I haven't used my record player in ages, and I don't really have a CD player any more (my laptop doesn't have a disc drive), but on the occasions that I actually buy a new album, I'll usually default to the vinyl. The artwork is so big and pretty.

That or I'll buy both! In the case of La Roux's latest, I bought it three times (signed CD, signed vinyl, 'fantazine' edition).

I wonder if we'll get another box set (of at lease the original timeline? +3)

All Halloween 4K listings are removed from dealsareus.ca. Probably they put them up for pre-order too soon. I think they will reappear eventually as they all had UPC numbers.

It’s a virtual guarantee these are coming in September? The reason I ask is a few years ago retailers I think GameStop or Best Buy had listing for Metroid Prime Trilogy for Nintendo Switch then the listing disappeared and the game was never announced.

Where did you get this idea? It did not line up with my knowledge at all so I googled again and read articles from sources like Rolling Stone. The vast, vast majority of music revenue right now is from streaming subs. 75%+, there is no contest. Of the small portion that is from purchased music CDs and vinyl are roughly equal this is true, but that's because CD revenue plummets every year, not because vinyl is some amazing revenue blowout. Every article talks about streaming being the future and what record companies care about.

Which is not me bashing vinyl, just saying it's a niche medium for niche audiences. That's what BD and UHD pretty much is already outside of major blockbusters, and will be more and more as time goes on. There's nothing wrong with that, niche markets can be awesome. However the big danger is companies like Disney wanting to keep their Mandalorians streaming exclusive to push subscription numbers. Maybe someday soonish they'll just keep that big movie exclusive as well, because it makes more sense to them.

And yes "things change" and you could never have predicted 2021 in 1991, but I think if you're holding out hope for some kind of mass turn to physical media again you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

I’m frankly not saying anything about streaming, so I’m not sure why you keep yanking the conversation that way. I’m only saying that the resurgence of vinyl was so unforeseen, so inexplicable, so the-last-thing-anyone-ever-would’ve-expected 30 years ago, that trying to say anything definitive about 4K UHD being the last physical video disc format, or really any prognostications about physical media decades from now, is destined to be a fool’s errand.

SF themselves haven't confirmed anything, but the vendor that had them listed is a reputable source. Given how well the Halloween titles work out for Scream, I can't imagine these not happening.

OldPangYau · 07-02-2021, 04:12 PM

Between this and the listings for 2-4 also in 4K, it makes me wonder if potentially Shout/Scream might be attempting a new box set... then again, Paramount probably has 6-8 and the two R. Zombie films now via the Miramax catalog deal, so that may be a bit trickier. And it also wouldn't be a "complete series" set since we still have two more films coming out, lol.

Eh, at the very least, we'll probably see a listing for 5 pop up as well, considering it usually follows close behind 4 (probably since it's the same rights holders, Trancas International).

Don't get me wrong, CD is a excellent format but still.

Lionsgate has the two Rob Zombie films now.

When did that happen? Last I checked, Cinedigm has RZH1 and Sony has RZH2. Not doubting, just curious lol.

Lionsgate acquired RZH1 through their purchase of Lantern. I’m not sure when Sony lost the rights to RZH2, but it’s now on streaming services (such as Tubi) with the Lionsgate logo. Additionally, the Sony Blu-Rays have gone OOP.

I’m not talking about mastering (a bad master is a bad master, regardless of the end user format), but in terms of format capability and fidelity, vinyl ain’t got nuthin’ on CD. Don’t take my word for it—the internet has abundant research at hand about the two formats and the only ‘advantages’ vinyl offers are grossly subjective ones.
