I love how his damage carries over from film to film though. Imagine what he'd look like now if Part 8 didn't fuck it all up!

Synapse Films is releasing Demons and Demons 2 as expensive limited edition tins. Since I love both films, I went ahead and splurged for both of them. Today, Synapse posted a couple of screen captures of the transfer for Demons 2:
Needless to say, I can't wait to get these discs.I hope I get them in time for Halloween.

Oh damn. The last time I watched these films I was around 8 or 9. Definitely time for a re-watch.
This popped up on my radar and it may be cool to some of you.

Do you mean Synapse? They didn't release Fright Night, that was by Twilight Time. That's so expensive now because all of their releases are limited editions and I believe you can only get them from TT's website directly. Fright Night was limited to 3,000 copies so it got scooped up by scalpers pretty fast.
Hopefully when TT's rights expire someone will grab it and give it the release it deserves.

You can only pre-order through Twilight Time's website. If a title survives the pre-order period, it'll become available through Amazon. Twilight Time's distributor maintains a seller account there.
I managed to grab Fright Night when Twilight Time put it up for pre-order. It took a while to sell out, so I don't think re-sellers snatched up a bunch of copies. It doesn't seem to pop up a lot on E-Bay, so it manages to command a ridiculously high price when it does. Now, Christine and Night of the Living Dead, those titles were completely driven by the re-seller market. As a result there's a ton of both available for auction; some auctions started literally hours after TT sold out. To combat this phenomenon, TT has, thankfully, implemented a 3 copy per customer limit. They just started this with Body Double, and it seems to be working; there's somewhere around 1700 copies left.
Sony currently doesn't allow licensees to create new supplemental material for their releases--they can only use existing material from the Sony vaults. Scream Factory, for instance, inquired about releasing a couple of titles, but passed when they realized Sony would be dictate what they could do with the title. So, unless Sony changes their policies, I doubt anything Twilight Time releases will find another home once their license expires. Of course, we could always hope Sony starts giving a shit about releasing their own catalog, but the odds of that happening are probably slimmer than a policy change.

Man, that's disappointing. I was really holding out hope for a decent Fright Night release, but I guess if it didn't happen with the release of the remake, it isn't going to. I don't know when their license expires, but I'm assuming Twilight Time will still probably have the rights to it when the remake sequel comes out too. Oh well, thanks for the additional info.
I loved the revenge though
I finally watched The Conjuring and was pretty disappointed. They used far too many horror cliches and caused scenes to feel too predicable for me. I could see someone new to horror enjoying it though. There were some interesting ideas but overall it felt like horror-by-numbers storytelling. Which is a shame since most of the visual production and acting was good.
Agreed. Very disappointing for a James Wan film. I enjoyed it quite a bit as a movie: nice cinematography, solid performances, and some cool 80s-inspired shots that worked very well; but as horror it was anemic.
ran out of ideas of what to watch last night, ended up throwing on The Collection since it was on Netflix Instant. Expectations were incredibly low, I remembered the trailers and remembered thinking the movie would be awful.
Was pleasantly surprised. I quite enjoyed this movie for some reason.
If you have Netflix, streaming it is worth your time IMHO.

watched it recently and I feel it's just ok, but I know a few people that were hyping it up as a good movie so I was a bit let down. that doll thing was really creepy looking, I'll give them that

Watched this a few days ago and thought it was pretty cool. Really didn't have much downtime in it, and it did a good job of keeping you on edge for every little moment. Recommended watch.

Shout Factory just announced Night of the Demons and Witchboard blu-rays for early 2014!
I'm definitely getting Night of the Demons.
I haven't seen Witchboard though, is that worth picking up?

I have had people in other horror groups recommend it strongly. Haven't seen it myself though.

Thanks. It's on my radar now. Tawny Kitaen is in it, so it already has that going for it.
Edit: Everyone on blu-ray.com's board seems really excited for it too. Must be a good one.

[Sorry to hijack the thread for a second...]
Hey guys, just a heads up because Divius was kind enough to remind me - I'll be putting together another 31 Days of Horror marathon thread this year. I don't want to post it too early, but it'll probably go up around the 15th.
So if you're interested in taking part this year, better start saving those movies for October.
For those of you who are new to us and have not taken part in previous years, you can check out last year's thread here.

And speaking of that yearly tradition, my plea for help:
As a quick update to those requests, the last item about B&W classics no longer needs to be filled, and I'm up to 43 films total. Everything else still applies, and to help you guys out a little bit more, I would say the second week is the most malleable right now in terms of films that I already have jotted down, but I will consider any and all selections.

As a huge horror fan, I'd like to share what I believe are worthy horror movies. I know tastes vary because, after all, we are a fickle bunch, but I think the list below is fairly comprehensive (or at least as comprehensive as my memory can allow right now). I purposefully left out most older classics because at this point I'm sure they've been covered and most we know exactly what they are. Hopefully there are a few in here you haven't seen yet. If so I think you're in for a treat because they are all good flicks (IMO of course).
In no particular order:
I Saw the Devil
House of the Devil
Martyrs
Inside
Haute Tension
.REC
28 Days Later
Dawn of the Dead (remake)
Dog Soldiers
Ginger Snaps
Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning
Frontiere(s)
Let Me In (liked the remake better. better pacing IMO)
Open Water
The Hills Have Eyes (remake)
Drag Me to Hell
Frozen
Grindhouse (Planet Terror / Death Proof)
From Dusk Till Dawn
The Descent
The Descent 2
Ravenous
Wolf Creek
30 Days of Night
Brotherhood of the Wolf (Pact des Loups)
Cloverfield
Eden Lake
Insidious
The Devils Rejects
Orphan
Midnight Meat Train
The Devil's Backbone
The Horde
Trick r' Treat
From Hell
Hostel
Black Death
Splinter
The Collector
The Crazies (remake)
War of the Worlds
Event Horizon
Pandorum
Don't be Afraid of the Dark
Sleepy Hollow
The Serpent and the Rainbow
Hard Candy
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
The Strangers
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (remake / the original is my favorite horror movie ever though)
Enjoy!

I was pretty surprised. It turned out pretty decent. I think you'll like it if you liked the first one.
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
Man Halloween 2 is probably one of the most under watched/underrated sequels out there.
Watched Curse of Chucky last night, that shit was dreadfully bad. CG Chucky and Doll Chucky look nothing alike. The "doll" would look completely different depending on the shot.
Then you've got some of the most idiotic characters ever put to film.
And don't even get me started on a 200-lb man being bowled over and flying through the air like it's a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
Fucking horrible.
Ending makes zero sense, too.

why the fuck did I wait so long to watch The Loved Ones?
currently has a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, glad to see I wasn't alone in thinking it was great. I highly recommend this one.
Sweet! New horror for me to watch. I completely overlooked this one! woot!
You will not be disappointed.

Tonight, I watched The Colony. Really good flick, but avoid the trailer, it gives away the whole damn movie.
Thanks for the recommendation. I'm going to watch that tomorrow with my girlfriend.

Sadako 3D was exceptionally embarrassing (((((
Why would they do it like this.
The 1st Ring was a tremendous movie, Ring 0 was alright, as was Ring 2.
And now they ruined it all with this stupid sequel.
Gah.
....
How's Tale of Two Sisters guys? Good?

What did you think?
Sorry, I forgot to post my thoughts here. Neither of us really liked it. The beginning was ok, but eventually it just went to another direction, and abandoned some elements of the story (
infection and its origins
where it abandoned atmosphere for action, and found it illogical at places; they had guns, the others did not, yet they were losing. There were some scenes, where they could have easily shot the attackers, but chose not to for some odd reason. And I found the leader of the attackers pretty comical.
Slither: loved this movie. The comedy/horror mix is hard to get right and very much hit or miss, but this one was a definite hit. Michael Rooker was great in this.
"He looks like something that fell of my dick during the war"
Storm Warning: meh. Female lead was hot, but couldn't act. For better Australian horror, watch Wolf Creek.
