I'd say a good portion of the reason why they don't add new interviews and features to some movies is based on how big those movies and people involved are, and how much they want to do the interviews...
The SAG average for an a "secondary features" interview (I think that was a term for it) on a film budgeted over 2.5 million like 14 years ago was $2, 500 plus new residuals will have to be paid(heck the studio turned Elizabeth Berkley down for an interview on Showgirls because she asked for the $2500 for a day of extra feature interviews on the 10yr release edition)
...that doesn't count paying the 20% SAG pension fee (another $500 in that case) plus the cost of filming and travel....and the more famous the person and movie, the more they will want...now, if they can get the actors/directors to do new stuff as it's own project, they can go SAG ultra low budget or non-union for it and just negotiate a day rate...
There are a bunch of moving parts I would guess...but none of those folks, unless they are just trying to get their names back out there for horror cons etc are going to do it cheap or free lol
Then I'm sure SF starts calculations of how many units they have to sell just to recoup costs of new extra features lol

I loved The Funhouse 4K, awesome movie. Great job, Ken. Thanks

[Ninjabadger]

Hi Ken more of these please this would be a great series to continue with. For those of us who have large collections it's nice to know which ones are a must to upgrade and vice versa.

I was blown away by Evil Dead 2013's 4K. The red titles, like WOW. Especially on oled. I was definitely wanting some special features but the upcoming steelbook looks great.

[jclarke]

Great idea! Id be a big fan of this series

[AVAPopCulture]

They 100% need to start giving us options of Hard slip boxes, paper slips, and standard editions

[MisterJayRod]

I watched the Burning for the first time a couple of days ago and had a ton of fun with it. I need to pick up that 4k release.

[LordoftheSerpents]

Dead Silent 4K was a major disappointment simply because they only gave the theatrical cut the 4K treatment and not the unrated cut. To me that’s unforgivable especially when Evil Dead gave both cuts in 4K.

[ChuckM]

The thing I appreciated about the Creepshow blu-ray hard box was Arrow video had already done Creepshow 2 with a hard box, so they kind of pair up nicely. The Creepshow 2 box is a little bigger, but even so, you'd be hard pressed to think it was two different companies that put them out.

Great video. I was a big fan of Funhouse.

Scream Factory's Creepshow blu ray had a pitch issue on the 5.1 track. I still haven't checked the 4K to see if it's been corrected.

[rickbrookes]

Evil Dead was filmed in 1080p digitally, not film. So the native resolution is 1080p, BluRay quality. The 4K release was upscaled. That’s probably one reason why the 4K version was disappointing picture wise.

[dominicarroyo]

The 2013 evil dead looks great to me imo. The best it can ever look and so fun to rewatch always

[WalkBesideMe]

I can't wait for the Vinegar Syndrome list

[kevinschmitt]

It’s a Shout Select blu-ray title, but Affliction looks like a DVD and shows up in a eco case. Still the release I’m most pissed off about for the year. Great movie that deserves better.

[popey]

Great video. Jennifer 8 was a great release.

[Godzillafan-mjmz]

In my opinion, I think that Evil Dead 2013 on 4k is the most disappointing Scream Factory release ever due to the fact that there are no new special features at all. In fact, there are some missing features like the Bruce Campbell interview and special effects featurette that was on the Best Buy exclusive blu ray that now goes for hundreds of dollars on Ebay.

[jordanfletcher]

Scream Factory have done some nice work over the years, with some decent special features/restorations and nice artwork, but overall I’d say they are overrated.

Their discs are usually packed in cheap, thin, flimsy cases that do not match the high prices they charge- especially for us in the UK who have to import them.

Those individual Halloween 4Ks look so weedy on my shelf and the artwork is so unimaginative and dumb. The saving grace is the discs themselves, which are very comprehensive.

And don’t get me started on the overpriced poster/pin packages- complete con.

Second Sight, Arrow and Umbrella put far more love into their releases, with premium packaging worth displaying and more extras included without going anywhere near close to $100+.

They’ve also become incredibly lazy in terms of new content, simply releasing 4K versions of films they’ve already put out on blu-ray- and often films that really don’t need 4k.

I think we’re getting close to the point where virtually all the releases we really want have been done- once we have all the NOES in new editions, where else is there to go?!
I really don’t need to see Madman or any other lower tier slashers in ultra HD, kinda pointless and nothing more than a cash grab.

Night of the Demons 4K is the best 4K transfer I currently have in my collection. I bought the previous Blu-ray for $14 and had it for a few months before this one was announced. This 4K was definitely worth the double dip of $35. The best part is it comes with a Blu-ray that's just a compressed version of the 4K!

Happy sunday. Got my listening ears on…..
