Shout! - John Carpenter Birthday Sale

Not sure how the prices stack up against previous sales, Amazon, etc., but here it is anyway:

https://www.shoutfactory.com/editori...ca05f-88749621

Free shipping over $50, but I'm betting most folks here already have most if not all of these:

The Thing $22.99
Escape From New York $14.99
They Live $17.99
Prince Of Darkness $17.99
The Fog $14.99
Assault On Precinct 13 $17.99
Body Bags $17.99
Village Of The Damned $19.99
Elvis $15.99

Cheapest I have seen both Escape from New York and The Fog during Scream's own sales. Rest are just a expensive as their prior sales, if not higher than before.

I still need to get Assault...but based on the fact there is a snazzy Second Sight Anniversary edition in the UK (although Region B), I'll stick with my Image release for now.

Another birthday sale. Started yesterday (Wednesday) and I’m not sure when it ends. Prices are a bit better than last year, and they’ve included most if not all of their Carpenter catalog this time. Big drops on PRECINCT 13 and BODY BAGS, and a buck or two less than last year on many others. BIG TROUBLE and L.A. are there, but not particularly cheap yet.

True that. A common refrain with Shout sales, sadly. And even when the prices ARE good, most people who wanted the titles already spent more for them thinking they'd never go lower.

I did a price comparison between this SF sale and the prices on amazon for Vampires, Starman, and Mouth of Madness. Overall, it was about $8 and some change cheaper via the SF than Amazon. That's if I actually bought them all at the same time since SF only gives you free shipping if you buy $50 or more.

Can a mod change the threat title to remove the "until . . ." part. Presumably Shout will make this an annual thing, so no point having the old date there confusing people.

The only one that I really want right now is Assault on Precinct 13, and Amazon has the Steelbook version of that for $11.99. Easy decision for me.

Shout/Scream used to have better sales. The first couple years they did their Summer of Fear and Halloween sales there were some good deals. The last couple years or so haven’t been as good.
