I've been hearing of many old classic sci-fi/horror titles that have been in the "why don't they release this one" catagory comming this summer/fall. I'm lost on which ones and what released dates.

Ones I've heard of are The Thing, Omega Man, Solyvent Green, the next wave of MGM Midnite movies, The Haunting, Outer Limits season 2 , and more!

Anybody compile a "get" list yet?

Gah, add Simpsons Season 3 and Mr.Show Season 3 to the mix, and August is going to be DEADLY on the wallet.

I'm in trouble. Aren't there like a whole slew of Vincet Price's comming out too?

You might want to try a power search at dvdpricesearch.com.
You can select the genre, and ask for pre-releases only. (You can leave everything else blank, and it defaults to "all stores".)

Holy carp. Yeah, I'd better start saving NOW.

Nice lists

I see a couple of Harryhausens's classics coming out on October.
The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, and The Valley of Gwangi. Can't wait.

I would think that Paramount would have dates set for Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell and Captain Kronos by now.

Surely they want them released in time for a Halloween promotion.

philo

Looks like I'll be binging this August with the rest of you.

I'm also curious to know what's going on with Captain Kronos. This is in my top five of most anticipated movies for release. I think I heard about this 6 months ago and still no date announced.

I hope this isn't another title that's getting shoved to next year.

Perhaps our friendly neighborhood Paramount man could help shed some light on the matter?

ckolchak

Captain Kronos should be out 10/21.
same day as Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell, Dragonslayer, and The Keep.

now if only Paramount would release Let's Scare Jessica To Death.

don't forget Burnt Offerings and The Howling SE in Aug.

Paramount, MGM, and Warner are putting out some fine material for this season.
it's a shame Universal is so ass-backwards, but i guess i should thank them for saving me some money.

davidlynchfan

Cronenberg's Spider (7/29) and The Brood (8/26)
are my 2 most anticipated release this summer.

Scot1458

Between 8/5 and 10/21 I'll be buying so freakin' much.

Dargonslayer is comming to?

What's left? King Kong?

August and September are both PACKED with great stuff. This is by no means a complete list, only my personal to-buy list:

Targets – 8/12
The Thing (50th Anniversary) – 8/5
The Haunting – 8/5
The Omega Man – 8/5
Soylet Green - 8/5
House of Wax/Mystery of the Wax Museym - 8/5
Wait Until Dark – 8/5
The Devil Commands – 8/26
Comedy of Terrors/The Raven – 8/26
Haunted Palace/Tower of London – 8/26
Tomb of Ligeia/Evening with Edgar Allan Poe - 8/26
The Vampire Lovers/Countess Dracula -- 8/26
The Ghoul (70th Anniversary) – 8/26
The Ghost & Mr. Chicken – September
The Hills Have Eyes – September

... with The Lon Chaney Collection, Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, Valley of Gwangi and The Black Scorpion, among others, all coming in October.

What's left? Plenty of stuff. KONG and all the Val Lewton films (supposedly coming in 2004 from Warner), not to mention all the oop or unreleased Universal classics.

I regularly maintain a list of upcoming R1 DVDs in the horror/scifi/fantasy/noir genres on my "Invasion of the Bs" forum:

(Some of you will undoubtedly find the forum worth joining too)

Can't they spread this stuff out? I'll be laying out $500 here!

Scot1458

nice site!

gutwrencher

outstanding!! those are all priorities.

Man, I hit Best Buy last night, and it hit back, hard. Not only did I get these, but I got Simpsons Season 2 and 3 (on sale and $10 off for buying both) and finally picked up South Park Season 2 with the exclusive pilot dvd.

Man, I'm so @#$%ed.

Scot1458

I just ordered them from DDD...got all the good 8/5 releases, with the Outer Limits and the Witch Mountian set comming too.

After that, it's another smogsbord in Oct.

Mutley Hyde

Yeah, I was debating just ordering from DDD, but I was there man!

They had $5 off coupons on the endcaps, buy any 3 dvds, get $5 off. If it hadn't have been for that, and the $10 off when buying both Simpsons sets, I would have waited.

All said and done, everything was slightly less than DDD, but then slightly more after tax, but we're talkin' cents here.

turborobb

I saw all of these at Best Buy for $9.99 each.
