I noticed you had 26 - 34 listed as TBA 2013, but Scream Factory did post tentative dates for those titles about a month ago.

Although we don't have official street dates yet to tell you, we thought we'd at least give you an idea as to when in the year you can expect to see some of the films we previously announced that we know you've been dying for! :-)

No other details (meaning configurations, extras, etc.) to report and keep in mind, that all are subject to change.

The Fog - Summer
The Incredible Melting Man - Summer
Hospital Massacre - Late Summer
Day of the Dead - Fall
Scanners II & III - Fall
Night of the Comet - Late Fall
The Horror Show - Late Fall
The Vagrant - Late Fall
Schizoid - Late Fall
The Godsend - Late Fall

Good call, Zbinks. I thought so but didn't have the patience to find that post again. Thanks again. Updating now!

I remember there was some recall with the "Swamp Thing" DVD, something about them releasing the uncut version and labeling it PG? I could be off a bit on this, but if somebody could confirm anything please do. Also if there was two versions which one will we get from Scream?

That is true but do to some legal stuff Scream will release the PG cut.

I was just thinking about a movie I would love Scream to get ahold of...

It's a bit more sci-fi than the rest of their catalog. But is firmly in the horror category.

I was just talking to one of my friends the other day and he brought that up as a title he hoped to see on Blu...

If I order a blu-ray directly from Shout!, do they ship it in a cardboard mailer or bubble envelope?

Does it really matter that the US version is Craven's intended cut? I mean, more nudity is always better than less nudity--especially in the case of something as mediocre as Swamp Thing. Baffling legal reasons aside, it's a shame that Shout couldn't "spice up" the movie for blu-ray.

I suppose if youve grown up with the extended cut like here in the uk then its a bit of a letdown,though for me not a deal breaker.ill wait awhile to see if Arrow announce it,if not ill get the SF release eventually.

There's nothing "baffling" about it. The Euro version had some footage in it that was produced for overseas markets. They knew it when they shot it and that's it. That's the reason MGM pulled the U.S. DVD that erroneously had the Euro version on it, and the same reason Shout can't release it here. The U.S. release isn't "cut," it's the version Craven intended for the American market (don't think he was making a PG-rated comic book flick for kids with topless women running around), and his "intended" version of the film.

If someone overseas wants to release their own Blu-Ray of the international version, they can. I'd check that out too, though the film itself is kind of terrible honestly.

I can see this making sense in the 70's and 80's but in 2013 anyone can find those pictures in a matter of seconds doing a simple google search, so for Adrienne Barbeau trying to protect her modesty from family and friends in this day and age is impossible.

The Fog cover art was revealed on their Facebook!

[WesReviews]

Now it's time to play "find the original stolen artwork".

Get to hunting!

[*PREACHER*]

Simply beautiful artwork!!!

[NoirFan]

Nicely muted and subdued, as I had hoped! Their best new cover yet, with the upper and lower halves effectively combined, although JLC's face seems a bit flat, to me at least. Hurray for no floating heads!

Ergh, the swords :/ Otherwise looks okay.

[BarnDoor]

Not as bad as recent efforts certainly.
