Thanks

Twins of evil has been out on blu for awhile from synapse so I think a trilogy pack is pretty much out of the question. No idea who has Lust for a Vampire though.
Also, is anyone else holding out hope that scream announces a New Years Evil blu today? It'd be too perfect!

Those 6 are MUST gets for Scream Factory.

as for Fox:
I'd love to see a "The Fly" Double Feature of both original sequels, and then Collector's Editions of The Fly II (and David Cronenberg's the Fly, because why not).

Id go for the Fly II as the blu Fox did for the first one is perfect..
I bolded the Universal ones Im interested in plus Island of Terror would be AWESOME !!

Yeah. You wouldn't want to waste your money buying a movie.

Probably not, but some like the entire package.

Thank you good sir I don't buy too many blu rays, so when I do purchase one, the complete package is a nice bonus!

. But now all of them have releases on BD, through several companies with varying amounts of features. Just a thought of their wasted opportunity.
Speaking of which, Criterion should upgrade Sisters soon.

You can get Sisters from ARROW films, however, it is region B locked and has not been released yet. So you guys know what we have to go through now init.

I'm still holding out hope that Scream Factory will one day get my holy trinity of MGM movies: Squirm, Motel Hell and Deranged.


.....And if ONE more person tells me to get a region-free player and get the Arrow releases, KABLAMMO.

I don't blame you at all. After all, these are all AMERICAN movies that should be released in their own country. Plus you don't want to ignore the hopeful Scream releases when they do eventually make it out, and they will.

I couldn't care less about that; you snooze you lose. I waited years for someone to release DOLLS (1987) stateside. Now I have the Japanese release and won't be buying the eventual US release, whether it's released by Scream, TT, or anyone else. I'm not going to wait on importing a movie on the possibility that it might be released here in the future.

I hated Rocky Horror, really hard for me to finish, but I love Phantom so I would give it a shot.

Yeah as much as I love 80s horror I would like to see some earlier horror titles released. A Vincent Price Vol. 2 would be a no brainer, and public domain be damned, we need Last Man on Earth on Bluray. It would sell better then a lot of their releases, even if another company stole their transfer. And really, how many public domain transfers have actually been stolen on Bluray?

The Count Yorga titles would also be great. I know Cliff said they didn't sell well on DVD, but that was on DVD. And if they are releasing Neanderthal Man on Bluray I would say there is hope for any movie to be given a second chance.

They are both ready in HD,so they wouldn't have to pay for new transfers. According to bluyray.com, they are TBA on BD from MGM/UA, but I see this as more of a Scream double bill. At the time that cliff said that, he also said there were no HD masters, which has now changed. I can't believe that the DVD sold that poorly (I still have it) since the OOP disc goes for big bucks now.

Don't forget to reconsider Howling 2...

Bleck ! Even Sybil Dannings breasts couldnt save that atrocity

Oh I remember Greydon Clark commenting on Facebook that he wanted MGM to release Without Warning so there must be another licensing issue going on with that, which keeps MGMs hands tied (and Shout Factory too)

To each his own. They already have 3,5,&6. I can just imagine two doubles: 2&3 and 5&6. It would make me buy Howling 3.

Blech, I'd rather not have The Howling III sullied by the presence of The Howling II.

But hey, if I can live with The Video Dead being attached to Terrorvision, I can live with that.

I'm the other way around. Howling 3 was atrocious and boring, while part 2 was some fun softcore fare.
That said, I also like Howling 4.

Fine... what about this?
Howling 2 single release.
Howling 3&4 double (if they could get the rights away from Echo Bridge like Synapse did with Prom Night/Curtains)
Howling 5&6 double

How about the flipside: If ONE more person posts a wish-list comprised of films that already have excellent, extra-packed, and dirt-cheap releases easily ordered from Amazon or Arrow, simply out of some strange, misguided patriotism (the discs are frequently pressed in Mexico anyway) and/or an entirely illogical belief that anything and everything from the MGM, Universal and Fox vaults will eventually magically be licensed by Scream (who, in head-to-head matchups so far, have included fewer extras as well as encodes with lower bitrates), or just sheer, maddening stubbornness, KABLAMMO.

+1 Billion!
Can we just make a Scream Factory wishlist in the wishlist forum. It was fun for about 2 minutes, but now it's just tiresome scrolling through page after page, of what amounts to bunk at this point.
Just create a thread and link here. That way when real information is posted it won't get lost in the meaningless clutter.

But that's what I think is fun about the thread, and personally, why I decided to make an account.

Also, this is a North American forum, yes? Then stop yelling at everybody to get Region free players. Some of us do not have region free players and have patience for them to arrive in R1. Myself, I do not know if mine is. I will find out when I try to play my friend's R2 copy of Almost Famous.
