I'll be getting Jaws, H2/H3/H4, and maybe They Live (not my favorite Carpenter film, but might be worth getting).
Definitely picking up They Live once it becomes available. It's got my favorite fight scene of all time and is a forgotten Carpenter gem.
now i don't cry or normally swear... but fuck yeah! i am crying cause i swore... my mom would not be proud.
Sleepwalkers? Really? - Cory
Most of these are really awesome, and as much as i'd love to purchase them all upon release it'll probably take me the entire year of 2013 to get them all. I'll be picking up Jaws asap, Pet Sematary upon release and Scream Factory titles as soon as I have the funds. Thank you for including the Basket Case trilogy because that steelebook is the shit!
*ahem* Cabin In The Woods - September 18th.
The idea here was to showcase older films hitting Blu-ray in the coming months. But yes, Cabin In The Woods is indeed a must buy!
Lots of good ones here... My collection expands ever more!!!!
The covers for They Live, Halloween III and Funhouse are fucking awesome-sauce. Who did those? They don't look like any of the original posters...
They Live was done by Tom "Dude Designs" Hodge and H3 & Funhouse by Nathan Thomas Milliner!
Nice list, I had a lot of those same titles on mine:

You Tube has the "Original" ending for "Little Shop" (I believe it is filmed is "Kinder-scope" all black and white....) But it Shows the "Plant" wins in the end as giant versions attack the city....
