Arrow Video Vs Scream Factory | The Child's Play Movies 

I have all the Shout Factory 4Ks, plus the blu-ray of Living with Chucky, Season 1 and 2 of the TV series (I've preordered Season 3), and the 4K of the remake. I prefer box sets, but not enough to double-dip for the Arrow box.

blockbuster boxsets made a box that holds all of the scream factory releases. it really completes the collection for me

I am, in fact, the one who cares about the unrated Seed of Chucky cut! And if you asked me, I’d tell you the 4K from Arrow looks better than Scream’s.

I like the arrow edition after picking it up early this year online from the uk except for getting the first movie from scream factory

Another leg up that SF has (whether you like the film or not) is their 4K release of Child's Play 2019, especially if you're a completionist.

So, Christian doesn't understand owning multiple slipcovers but is fine with owning multiple 4k collections of the same movies.

Was looking into picking up the 4Ks, but I found the old 7 film Blu-ray set for $12. Good enough for me!

I got lucky with my Arrow Chucky boxset as well. I hope they made it right with people that got the misaligned box art

I think you could have mentioned there are 2 versions of the Arrow boxset. The normal yellow boxset and the blue Arrow exclusive edition.

It’s genuinely impressive how far this series has fallen since the 1990’s, but somehow it’s more popular now than ever before so go figure

My child play blu ray played fine on my regular blu ray player

I got That Chucky blu ray Box set last week & The book in my set fit perfectly well ( not bent at all)

I have the blue Arrow exclusive 4k boxset. I still want the yellow one as well. I have Scream Factory 4k Child's Play and slowly want the rest of the SF 4k editions.

I would usually always choose Arrow over Shout, but I just think that Arrow artwork is terrible. Just terrible. I have the original 4K and will probably grab Bride, otherwise I’m probably fine with my blu-ray versions. Anyway, just my thoughts!

Funny fact about the seed of Chucky if you by the basic 7 movie blu ray set it only includes the uncut version and not the theatrical so as I’m buying a couple Chucky 4k’s a month when I get The Seed 4k I know to swap the case so I can stick my blu ray from that set into the same case for completion😅

I have the blue 4K set from arrow and the only issue is that curse & cult of chucky don’t have the theatrical- R fated versions included.

A lot of the money invested in just a handful of movies we as collectors really need to start picking and choosing smart 🤘💿🤘

unless there is a bonus disc with Child's Play 1 Idk about then no the special features are NOT the same... there are a couple things the Shout one is missing but a ton the MGM disc doesn't have

Awesome Video Planet CHH hope you're well my awesome friend . i still need to get the 4ks of the child play/ chunky movies .

Great overview. One small difference: some of the Arrow versions have minor special features that aren't on the Shout Factories. For instance, the Arrow release of Bride of Chucky (I think that's the one) includes a video introduction by Jennifer Tilly, and many other discs include storyboard galleries that aren't on the SF releases. Not significant enough to sway my decision, but worth mentioning for completists.

I'm glad I gave my knowledge to help out with this video. It has too many flaws for me to pick it up. Being from the UK I wish they'd of given just a little bit more tlc to this set.

Mentioned elsewhere, but i'm a HUGE Arrow Video fanboy, so for me, the Arrow 4K set (blue box variant) was an absolute must for me, with the Shout! 4Ks of the original (the steelbook in question) and remake of Child's Play to augment it. I know the artwork of the Arrow set could be better, but with Arrow & Fidelity in Motion, you are getting absolute quality with the actual discs.

I only like childs play 1-3 so obviously scream factor is the better choice for me even if i was a childs play/chucky fan I would still choose scream factory I hate boxsets that don't have their own cases.

This was a great Breakdown man… I’m pretty sure my mom has that arrow bow set.

I went through this decision CHH. I went with the 4k Shout Factory 👍🤓😎

I bought the Arrow 4k box set as well as the original Child's Play on 4k from Shout. Badaboom badabing! I really love all of the artwork for these sets. I especially love the Arrow artwork as it shows that they were really paying attention and attempted to make the set 'Good Guy' themed. Kudos!

My personal opinion the only thing I don't like about arrows is the cases idc for the digital pack styles

The box design on the Chucky set is supposed to replicate the box The Good Guy Doll comes in

I wanted the Shout Factory ones for the Alternate Slipcovers with better Artwork and the first film the best one being in 4K but I settled for the Arrow boxset because the Scream Factory ones now go for stupid money on Ebay

I bought the box set just because it was a box set. LOL I did get the SF 4K of the original though. I rewatched my video (because I couldn't remember lol) and it looks like my book fit just fine. I did hear about those issues though.

oh boy...season 2 is where Chucky show goes off the rails...

Meanwhile I have the universal Blu Ray set and I’m satisfied

I like the artwork from scream factory better. I still may get the box set but idk

I got lucky and so did you by the looks of it. I’ve seen a few horror stories about the arrow boxset being misaligned and the book not fitting in the box properly and also having missing pages. I and I assume you Christian didn’t have those issues but plenty of people did. I like the arrow set but I think the packaging art should’ve been a lot better. It seems to me that arrow totally rushed the set out and didn’t give much of a shit about it. Keith at euphoria pictures posted a good video highlighting the major flaws with his set. It’s nuts that arrow allowed this to happen, especially a big horror franchise like Chucky.

Good content as usual CHH keep it up. Got to do another Blu-ray I want you have soon

The Arrow 4ks have different encoding on the discs. They look quite a bit better and if you are a big fan the Arrow version is a MUST trust me

Living with Chucky is Region B even in the 4K set so you definitely need the ScreamBox Blu-ray release. Child's Play is Region Free From my understanding the lack of new bonus features is because the head of SF is now working with Arrow Video so he just took what he worked on. I actually got the first 3 on 4K from Scream Factory. When Bride -Cult was announced I noticed there weren't really a whole lot of new features and already had Curse & Cult on Blu-ray with Bride on a DVD. So I didn't bother to get those for that reason. Plus the cost was just insane for 4 of the mostly mediocre films. When Arrow Video announced their box set and you got 7 films (8 discs) for the same price as the 4 films I jumped on it. The main draw was getting the booklet and being able to complete my collection with all 4K's. Now the plus side for getting the Scream Factory & ScreamBox releases is you get the 4K and Blu-ray release and as you stated Child's Play has 2-3 discs (depending on format) vs the 1 MGM 2012 disc Arrow has. You also at least at first got better covers and posters for all the films. The plus side with Arrow is you get them all for a cheaper price with only 1 Region Locked disc if it's the 4K set and a great booklet. I think what happened with Child's Play is Arrow Video bought a bunch of MGM disc like Scream Factory did with Freddy vs Jason, Jason X & the Rob Zombie Halloween films

I would think it would be cheaper to wait for a deal on the arrow set than buying all the individual titles from shout. I also really like the look of the arrow set. The shout slips are nice but probably sold out by now.

seed with unrated 4K is huge for me

The Arrow Set doesn’t come with the remake either?

I love Chucky!!!! Those are so cool!!!!

Sony PlayStations let you swap regions which can be handy for locked discs for me

I see 2 4k versions of child’s play. 2019 and 2022. What are the main differences ?

Scream Factory cover arts look wayyyy better

Seed of chucky is so damn bad. No cut of that movie is good imo. Seed is the worst in the franchise. Unfortunately for me the series is more in vain of seed.

Anyone remember Dolly Dearest?

Now we just need to leprechaun series in 4k

Are you seriously telling me Arrow used that old 2012 blu ray of Child's Play for this set? Yikes WTF

I'm going for scream factory but I do love arrows box sets I got the house uk one and a few others

Which is better

I have some of the Shout Factory ones. I’d rather it be called Child’s Play and not Chucky. I don’t think that tv series is good at all.

While I love boxsets, I really didn't like the Arrow set at all. The artwork is atrocious and the first film doesn't come on 4K though that probably isn't Arrows fault but still. I also don't like the booklet packaging that the discs are housed in. I think Scream Factory won this one but I like that those in the UK that don't want to import have a release for them.

I got all of the Scream Factory Chucky movies before Arrow released their box set. I wasn't disappointed. I'll be honest the boxset from Arrow is just....ugly. And I can't stand digipak like packaging. I might look into getting a custom box set for the series instead! As I do like Box sets, just not arrows artwork and style.

The artwork for the Arrow set looks cheap!

Scream factory versions in a Blockbuster Boxset are superior to Arrow's hands down. I love Arrow editions on just about everything but that Chucky set needed some more time to fine-tune

That Arrow box set is hideous. WTF

Isn't the Arrow collection region b? Unfortunately I don't own a region free player so I ain't getting that anytime soon.

Is it really $100+ on Amazon?

I'm not a fan of directors' cut/unrated versions. Give me the theatrical cut.

💪🤓

Did you try the trick on your blu ray player I DM'd you on twitter so you're able to watch all regions blu rays & dvds?
