Agreed -- except for SOYLENT GREEN, which has been OOP for over a year now.

Good deals for anybody who doesn't already own these films, however.

Thanks for the info, Omega Man, although it's hardly encouraging that these will be re-releases of movies already available on dvd...

I believe FREAKS and the Vincent Price HOUSE OF WAX are two of the four films in the "Horror" set; don't know about the "Mystery" titles.

Any word on what films will be in the horror and mystery classic collections from TCM?

Blue Underground is also releasing the long-OOP Torso on July 28th as well.

August, of course, has the ICONS OF SCI-FI: TOHO COLLECTION on deck.

In September, Warner is slated to release a TCM GREATEST CLASSIC FILMS COLLECTION: SCIENCE FICTION set containg Forbidden Planet, the George Pal Time Machine, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Soylent Green (currently OOP). There'll also be a TCM...

The schedule lists dozens of Stooges shorts, but has no room for ISLAND OF THE FISHMEN (6/30), THE TENTH VICTIM (7/28), or A STUDY IN TERROR (11/11)?

The youth of today is still more interested in something like FRIDAY 3-D. If you look at F13 websites, I'm an old man there at 47. There are mostly 20-somethings these days who are into those splatter films.

And I only saw VERTIGO once and didn't like it, by the way. Yet I still objectively think it would be a much more desired title on BD than IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU. I'd even bet that a revival house would do better business with VERTIGO on its marquee rather than IT...

Nobody is saying that a recent horror title wouldn't fall outsell a CITIZEN KANE, but I don't see how releasing a classic title such as that is going to be a losing proposition. The studios are aware of that, but seem to be catering to the youth market more than the classic film fans.

I can't believe this. I just heard that the 1994 movie IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU is being released on Blu-ray. I just don't understand how some of these nothing films get priority... Are you going to tell me there are a multitude of fans just aching for this?
That has been my gripe from the very beginning of the high def dvd release schedules. Not one Hitchcock title has made it out on Blu, but...
