This gut-wrenching thriller follows a graduate student whose research summons the spirit of the dead! When Helen Lyle hears about Candyman, a slave spirit with a hook hand who is said to haunt a notorious housing project, she thinks she has a new twist for her thesis. Braving the gang-ridden territory to visit the site, Helen arrogantly assumes Candyman can't really exist ... until he appears, igniting a string of terrifying, grisly slayings. But the police don't believe in monsters, and charge Helen with the crimes. And the only one who can set her free is Candyman.

This will also be available from usual retailer stores in USA/Canada as in Amazon etc only difference will be won't include the 2 exclusive posters and second slipcover

It's the posters that are limited to first 2,000 orders on Shout Store
Shout releases that come with Lithographs and Posters it's only these that are exclusive to the store

Standard editions of shout factory releases without the posters and Lithographs are trade wide


I will add the Amazon purchase link as soon as it's listed on amazon website

Same as Arrow Video UK release
  • NEW 2K Restoration From A New 4K Scan Of The Original Negative, Supervised And Approved By Writer/Director Bernard Rose And Director Of Photography Anthony B. Richmond

I already have Arrow Video Edition on Pre Order

I will also be getting the Scream Factory Collector's edition for the different artwork and slipcase and possible more extras

Scream Factory release is 2 Discs with looks like more extras but Arrow have still to announce complete specs of their release so might end been the same

The 'Deluxe Limited' versions are usually considered different from their retail releases because they include 2 posters AND 2 slipcovers (same as Carrie, The Thing, Return of the Living Dead).

They are the exact same release and include a slipcover if you purchase from Amazon etc

The posters and exclusive the second slipcover are only part that is exclusive to the shout store
You get some releases that include figures and lithographs that's also exclusive

A lot of their collectors edition releases have come with exclusive posters or lithographs or second slipcover if you purchase direct from shout factory and are limited during pre order

Customers who order direct after poster or lithographs are gone will receive exact same as if you order from Amazon

The Disk contents and standard Slipcover or Slipbox and booklet if included is not exclusive


As Shout don't ship outside USA/Canada customers can order from Amazon/Best Buy etc it just won't include the posters and second slipcover that's the only difference

Candyman is a limited edition if your order direct from shout or from a USA retailer like Amazon as is Creepshow

I know that but some members might think you can only get this from Shout Store

A lot of their collectors releases come with exclusive posters etc limited to first 2000 during pre order if you order direct and once these are gone they ship the standard release same as if your ordered from Amazon


Those who just want the Blu-ray with Slipcover included can order from Amazon/Best Buy etc especially members who are based outside USA/Canada
 
I've got the Arrow set on order and I'll probably pick this one up too. Big fan of the Candyman movies
 
The regular Collector’s Edition includes 1 slipcover
Note does not include second slipcover or posters
Amazon USA
$34.93

Note price will likely not drop until after release date due to shout factory putting an embargo on other retailers selling their release until after release date
Amazon is excluded from this embargo but they likely won't price match until the other retailers are selling and drop price
