STARCRASH is an Italian production and was made a year or two before BATTLE. Footage from BATTLE has shown up in many films including SPACE RAIDERS and in the trailer for FORBIDDEN WORLD.

Fine with that because Shout Factory is putting so many Corman films/releases that I never thought would even be considered on Blu-Ray. Also I found Slumber Party Massacre 1-3 Used at a local Mom & Pop Shop a couple years ago for $15 total.

Cliff (who is over at AVManiacs as well) said there will not be a BD release for the Slumber Party Massacre films.

It sucks that studios like Echo Bridge can continue to release stuff and get them stocked everywhere but a studio like Shout or Synapse or Blu Underground cant get there films into places like wal-mart or anything.

Both movies were first time viewing for me and I really enjoyed both of them.

Fans of Corman and New World should check out the UK book Mind Warp!: The Fantastic True Story of Roger Corman's New World Pictures. It's selling for ridiculous prices on Amazon, but can be had for £22.34 ($33.59) shipped from Amazon UK. It says 1 to 2 months to arrive, however. You can also purchase a copy autographed by the author directly from Hemlock Books for £28.12 ($42.28) shipped, and they informed me it should only take a week to arrive. It looks like an entertaining read, and pretty extensive at 280 pages. Here's a review.

It looks like 2010 will be the year of Starcrash! Just found this interesting nugget on the Myspace page of writer Richard Dean:
Book trailer:

Myspace Page
Curved Space - The Adventures of Stella Star is a brand new anthology book featuring short stories based on the plights and plunders of Stella Star, the beautiful heroine of the 1979 cult classic film Starcrash. I am editing the book and contributing a two-part story alongside other written contributions from awesome talents such as Glen Alan Hamilton, Madison Brents, Robin Grenville-Evans and Mark Gascoigne.
Fully endorsed by Starcrash writer/director Luigi Cozzi, this is a tremendously exciting project for me and all the contributors involved. The book will also be featured in the extra features of the upcoming Starcrash DVD / Blu-Ray release.
More details will be forthcoming through a dedicated Curved Space - The Adventures of Stella Star MySpace page and promotional video, both coming soon courtesy of the multi-talented Glen Alan Hamilton.

i still wish that Slumber Party Massacre & Sorority House Massacre were coming to Blu. I would even settle for bare-bones releases with all 3 films on 1 Disc!

Speaking of Slumber Party Massacre, I thought THIS was kinda neat.
Still in for Pirahna.

That's pretty cool but with shipping, it bumps up the price to about $30. I'll stick with my Amazon preorder of $22.49 shipped with Prime. I don't really care if movies like this are on BR since I think any imperfections or whatnot in AV quality are appropriate.

All the Corman BRs I have received have some sort of alternate cover on the back side, some even using the movies alternate title--and IMO some of the alternates are cooler than the normal ones. Very very cool touch by Shout!.

So review copies went out already? Nice. Love to see how Piranha rates.
I'll have to wait and buy it used anyway since I don't support Shout! in any single way.

Can I ask what your beef is with them Gizmo? (not looking to be argumentative, just curious--they seem to get universal kudos around here)

It was sold with these things being said:
We are making only 25,000 of them and then that's it. We'll never make them again. We'll break the mold, lock the door, and throw away the key. The Special Limited Edition will not show up on any discount web sites and it will never be sold at a discounted price. It is a true collectible. We swear to you.

Gizmo, I totally understand only buying their stuff used. I think I posted my thoughts in that thread. I was not a fan of the show (never watched it) but, as a collector, I wasn't happy with the way they did the re-release. Would've been so much better if they just did a different package.
But I will go to their panel at Comic-Con and, if given a chance, will ask them about it and if they caught some backlash over it.

While I understand your frustration with them, and please don't consider this a "personal attack" as it is not meant that way, but.....Good Christ, man, a company has never lied to you before? I mean, you can spend your $$$ how you like (and that is the true bottom line, really), but it sounds like you're passing on some truly cool shit because somebody told you a nasty fib a long time ago. Just sayin'.

I don't want to threadcrap in this thread though so I'll halt my conversation regarding Shout! here. (But do PM me if you ask the question to them and they give you a response. I can't make it out this year
)
