Wow, really? Never would've though Sleepaway Camp would end up at Universal's doorsteps and the sequels at MGM. For as far back as I can remember obscure distributors put out VHS tapes until Anchor Bay came around and handled the franchise up until now apparently.

I'd proudly support pretty much any 80's horror goodness from Shout...too many titles on my wishlist to name, but your current upcoming line up looks glorious.

[Nailwraps]

I have a question regarding The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea; The transfer suffered from DNR. I know this is not your or any at Shout!'s fault, so who's was it?

Hi Cliff maybe you could explain why the Stereo elements were not used on the BD release of The Stepfather? Great release otherwise.

Also thanks for Damnation Alley on BD! I know it probaly tanked, but I am glad it saw a release finally and on BD to boot.

Terrific news about releasing THE ISLAND on Blu. I'll buy that now to replace the German DVD. It's a guilty pleasure if ever there was one!

Would Scream Factory consider releasing any classic nunsploitation films? I realize it's a niche of a niche, but several come to mind that might sell decently on Blu-ray. There is really no one else in the market at the moment for them in HD.

On the other hand, if Anchor Bay no longer controls the rights to the Ilsa films, these will be great to bring on Blu-ray as well - especially considering the outrageous prices the OOP box set currently has on different sites.

That is so sad. I have every one of the titles too and they were all top quality. Loved the reversible coverart. Nice touch.

Someone already asked, but I'd love to see

Night of the Demons 1988

Doubt you could get the rights, but it would be nice to see HD versions of these titles:
Blood for Dracula
Flesh for Frankenstein

Doubtful

That is the master we were given from the licensor.

Halloween III Original Art Cover

Will this be present in any form on the new release? Submitted slip photo on the item description has the old cover, but someone replied in the halloween 3 thread that even the slip will have the new art (which I dont like one bit).

Thanks!

Will Shout Factory be releasing the Chiller TV movie Ghoul, based on Brian Keene's novel? I've really been looking forward to this, but unfortunately I don't get Chiller.

I ask because I see that Shout is releasing Steve Niles' Remains, another Chiller TV movie.

[bgart13]

GHOUL was terrible, a true piece of shit.

Cliff, some questions on The Smurfs and The Magic Flute DVD:

-First off, I saw pics of the transfer, and I think it looks good. But, its odd that its non-anamorphic (not complaining since I watch my DVDs on my regular TV in my room and watch them with the black bars). I guess you got it from the licensor?

-Why no inclusion of the US Dub and Original French track (with optional English subs)?

+1

All for those as well as Alice Sweet Alice(1978)-w/ a young Brooke Shields

and The Changeling(1980)-creepy movie with George C. Scott

& speaking of Mr. Scott, I hope we get around to seeing The Exorcist III on Blu sometime soon!!!

Keep up the good work Cliff!

Hi Cliff. Firstly, I'm loving these new 'Scream Factory' releases. And I'm expecting Halloween II & III any day now.

Any chance these Universal titles could get a release?

The Sentinel (1977)
Dracula (1979)
Ghost Story (1981)

[al cos.]

The old BATTLESTAR GALACTICA tv show had a couple movies released overseas, that would make a pretty cool double feature? (especially since they were different from the episodes they stitched together to make them).

Please bring RAD and Gleaming The Cube to blu-ray......

[Nailwraps]

More questions:

-Not to sound selfish, but will They Live have 5.1 sound with the original 2.0 sound or will it just be 2.0?

-I've heard that Saban has aquired the rights to Sonic X. Since you have home video rights to Saban's library, is there any chance you could re-release the series on DVD (with both English and Japanese dubs)?
