That just makes me want to wait for a better-looking presentation of these films.
I suspect you'll have a loooooooong wait . . .



Well, since I already have two of these films on my old Midnite Movies discs, I think I'll pass. It looks as though this is more likely a rental, and less something I actually want to own. If any of these ever get upgrades a la The Neanderthal Man then I'll check them out.   
NEANDERTHAL MAN already had an HD transfer ready to go, so Shout merely had to encode it for Blu-ray.  None of the titles on the Timeless Horror set are available in HD, so Shout would have to spend money on them, and I don't see them rushing to throw money at something like SNAKE WOMAN.

It just seems like a bad move for Shout! Factory to endanger their reputation by releasing such terrible-looking DVDs.

Maybe that's why they got put out under the Timeless label rather than Shout.


You're no doubt right about Shout not doing new transfers of titles like these unless they already exist, but has MGM put a moratorium on new transfers of catalogue titles? Will this never happen? I'd like to see TFSOJD in HD, but the rest I can take or leave. Also, I was under the impression that Shout released this DVD under their own label (that's how Amazon is listing it). I see now that on the back of the case the only mention of the Shout name is in the extra-fine print.
