[dylrichard02]

For those who missed out on the second volume of the Vincent Price Collection, several of the MGM owned titles in that collection are coming back into print from Kino Lorber Studio Classics.



The new re-releases from KLSC;



The other three titles from this set come from Fox (The Return of the Fly), WB (House on Haunted Hill), and another from MGM which KLSC has yet to announce a new edition of (Dr. Phibes Rises Again!).

Here's hoping the others from this set and MGM get new remastered/slipcovered releases from KLSC!

The 3rd Vincent Price collection is back in print, so no one can miss out on it. Also none of those kino release are new masters, they are using the same ones as Scream.

Will adjust this.

I thought for some reason KLI said The Last Man on Earth was from a 2K scan, thanks for clarifying!

You're welcome. The insider mentioned they we're using the same ones Scream used in the KL thread.

Hey everyone, I made a follow up thread to this about Fox titles! Hopefully you can figure out what you need before Disney pulls the plug entirely.

I believe that the most recent round of announcements were for December. There's some speculation in the main Scream Factory thread that the Army of Darkness 4K was alluded to when they mentioned next year they have some "special packaging" coming, explaining the wait.

So they won’t be making any 2022 announcements before the end of the year?

Yes, they will. Probably January and February's announcements.

When exactly?

I'm glad this thread exists to keep a documentation of this. It seems like the MGM titles that Shout has licensed over the years are most tenuous in terms of longevity. For this reason, I try to make sure I grab any MGM-licensed titles they have put out sooner rather than later, because I just assume it will go out of print under my nose.

A lot of MGM deals went OOP/ended last year when they switched their distribution partner from 20th Fox to Warner Bros. That's why so many went out of print. I still get what I want when I can so I don't miss out on any more.

That’s not the reason why MGM didn’t allow Arrow or Shout to renew their licensing deals. MGM was the one allowing distributors to license out their titles, not Fox.

Olive Films’ MGM releases still seem to be in-print for the most part. As we’ve seen, Kino now has been re-releasing titles Shout previously had access to.

That's why I said a lot, not all. I believe deals with independent labels had a lot of contracts with MGM set until 2020. Then labels like Kino have re-upped things from previous deals.
