We'll see where the possibilites go, with Greydon Clark titles ( without warning)

[HyperRealist]

IJ – Are there any plans for Scorpion to start releasing either new or catalogue titles on Blu-ray?

WO - See above, yes, it will start with DEATHSHIP, to be followed by DAY OF THE ANIMALS, GRIZZLY, HUMAN EXPERIMENTS and some more that I am awaiting for the contract to be signed.

[DarknessBDJM]

Figures, I just got the dvd of Death Ship.

Scorpion has a nice catalog, hopefully they will be successful.

The interview has some interesting info about the inner workings of Media Blasters, Code Red, BCI, and other cult film companies too.

[HDnBoonies]

Looks interesting...never heard of these titles. Are they worth a blind buy?

[Seymour]

Wow, Day of the Animals on blu is a must have.

[Monterey Jack]

All right, Day Of The Animals! Best Leslie-Nielsen-Wrestling-A-Bear scene ever!

Gotta admit, GRIZZLY is the most exciting for me out of that short list so far!

[Blu Titan]

Wow, they both look cool.

[Dex Robinson]

The scary part of that interview is that he seems enamored by the Twilight Time model of limited editions sold online. He mentions them several times and seems to suggest that's what he wants to try.

I just hope he's realistic about that. It's one thing to sell movies that star Rita Hayworth, Ann-Margret, Jimmy Stewart, Frank Sinatra or Jack Nicholson for $30.00 -$35.00 each. It's quite another to sell the movies I see listed.

Don't get me wrong. I love genre stuff. I'd love to get DEATH SHIP. I was willing to pay Twilight Time $35.00 for PAL JOEY with Rita Hayworth and Frank Sinatra. DEATH SHIP tops at $19.99 for me.

[bgart13]

He didn't say what he'd charge, he was commenting on the limited run of them.

[DarknessBDJM]

Aside from Death Ship, the films that they have released that I'd like to see are Silent Scream, Humongous (if they ever find a print), The Carpenter, Terror, Final Exam, and especially House on Sorority Row.

[ghostwhowalks]

Yep, I'll get all those. Grizzly on Blu-ray...

[manicsounds]

Finally. Have loved Scorpion's titles since their inception.

[Dickieduvet]

Grizzly....Day one

[beadelf]

fingers crossed these are region free....

Hopefully he knows that 30,000 copies is too many.

[Cinema84]

I chuckle every time someone says "I've never heard of this film, is it any good/worth a blind buy"? I had a co-worker who told me she had never seen SCARFACE, THE GODFATHER, even INDIANA JONES. Needless to say, I stopped talking to her

Anyway, I was stunned to learn that Scorpion will be doing Blu-rays of some titles. Never thought I'd see the day. Regarding THE FARMER, unless I misunderstood, he's only making it available via download/streaming?

[Omen2002]

The good news keeps on coming. Definitely would like to get Death Ship. That one creeped me out when I was a kid. Always loved that artwork as well.

[junyab]

Booya! I've passed on every DVD Scorpion release for hopes they would make this move...insta-buys!
