Scream Factory Gets All Doll’d Up For The DOLLS Collector’s Edition November 11!
Scream Factory’s “Fall Frights” just began this week and is going to be terrorizing your Blu-ray shelves and wallets all the way through Hanukkah and Christmas! Today, we have the details on the Ma and Pa video store classic, DOLLS. You remember that cover art right? The one with the little doll holding her eyeballs and having that sinister set of teeth on the side of her face? Yeesh, gives me the willies. In case you don’t want to creep yourself out on that image, since this is a Collector’s Edition, they have some sweet new alternate “remixed” artwork for the release. Check out all the details below and pre-order yourself a copy. I believe if you pre-order from Shout! Factory’s website you may get this before the release date, just in time for Halloween.

Friday nights are not the most popular time you think of when it comes to “must see” television. When a show moves to the end of the week its know as getting put in a “Friday Death Slot” where its assumed the next step for the show is cancellation. However, few shows can do well and survive healthily on Friday nights. There’s lower expectation there, and the ability to impress and look good for advertisers comes with doing more in a lesser night. Hannibal was kept alive after season 1 but relegated to Friday, but it was a hopeful move to Friday because it seemed it was moved there not as being on its last leg, but because the thought was that it might flourish there. It did a little better, but the show’s artistic merit, its following and ability to do well after it has aired (DVR, streaming, DVD/Blu-ray sales) have proven that its very worth keeping around for NBC. Plus, I think the folks at NBC are just as big of fans as we are, wanting to see this thing come to full fruition. 
The Drop is a strange sort of film, as it is ostensibly a crime drama rooted in its characters, but not quite focused enough to claim to be about one thing in particular. Sure, Tom Hardy is the lead in this film and we are basically following his mysterious character, who seems like a simple enough guy that could blow at any minute; but the film, while fairly straightforward, puts a number of things in front of its characters in a way that makes it hard to describe simply. As it stands, The Drop is a well-acted feature about criminals, gangsters, abuse, sorted pasts, moving on in one’s life, just trying to get by, and a cute little dog.
Spartacus Star John Hannah reflects on the relationship between Batiatus & his wife Lucretia and on his time working with Lucy Lawless in this new bonus feature clip from Spartacus The Complete Series. Yep! That pretty much sums it all up as to what this post and bonus feature clip is all about don’t you think? Are you excited for next Tuesday the 16th? I am! The complete series of Spartacus is coming home to Blu-ray in a “complete” package one more time so let’s celebrate! Check out the bonus video from the Blu-ray set down below. 
Free Fall feels almost like a reunion to me. After falling in love with the remake of I Spit on Your Grave a few years back I have subsequently fallen for Sarah Butler as a direct byproduct too. So while this movie can either go one of two ways, suck or be decent, I’m willing to gamble a couple hours of my life on it. How about you? Come on horror fans! It has Sarah Butler AND Malcolm McDowell in it! That’s like a two for one deal! So here’s the basics. They both star in Free Fall and the elevator terror flick will be unleashed on Blu-ray October 28th! Check out the full press release below for Free Fall and the film’s official trailer finally from Anchor Bay. 
Looks like I’m about to marathon the Wrong Turn series. I’ve seen the first one and go the second one (Directed by Joe Lynch) for free on Vudu but not watched it. Apparently a couple of these aren’t too bad. Now, there’s a sixth one coming this October. I must applaud the interesting way with which they’ve presented their press release for the film, even if turns out to be not so good in the end. Scroll down to pre-order (for the DVD edition currently, no pre-order link yet for Blu-ray) and check out all the details on this upcoming new horror sequel perfect for the fall!
The most famous movie palace in the world, The TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX® honored filmmaker and comedy legend 
22 Jump Street sees Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum back in action in Columbia Pictures’/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures’ outrageously explosive comedy, debuting on Digital HD on Oct. 28th, and on Blu-ray and DVD Nov. 18th from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. After making their way through high school (twice), big changes are in store for officers Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Tatum) when they go deep undercover at a local college. But when Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football team, and Schmidt infiltrates the bohemian art major scene, they begin to question their partnership. Now they don’t have to just crack the case – they have to figure out if they can have a mature relationship. If these two overgrown adolescents can grow from freshman to real men, college might be the best thing that ever happened to them. Check out the rest of the full press release below for all the 411! 
KUNDO: AGE OF THE RAMPANT, the international box office hit and Asia’s answer to Robin Hood, debuts on Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital Oct. 21 from Well Go USA Entertainment. Set in mid-19th century, the tongue-in-cheek historical comedy-action film depicts a power struggle between the unjust wealthy noblemen who run society and a group of righteous outlaws who steal from corrupt officials to give to the downtrodden and starving. Directed by Yun Jong-bin (Nameless Gangster: Rules of the Time), KUNDO: AGE OF THE RAMPANT stars Ha Jung-woo (The Berlin File), Kang Dong-won (Haunters), Lee Sung-min (The Good, the Bad, the Weird) and Ma Dong-seok (Quick). When the film opened this summer, it broke all existing opening day box office records in South Korea.
Syfy’s ratings record-breaker turned pop culture phenomenon continues with the epic adventure, Sharknado 2: The Second One, hitting shores as a never-before-aired extended version on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD October 7 from Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM) and The Asylum.
The original Pumpkinhead debuts on Blu-ray tomorrow. And you won’t have to wait much longer to own its sequel too. At the end of October, Scream Factory will be reuniting PUMPKINHEAD II: BLOOD WINGS with the first film in your Blu-ray collection. This isn’t a Collector’s Edition like the original, but it still has some solid bonus material to boot. You can begin pre-ordering now and also scroll down for more definitive details on the release of the sequel to Stan Winston’s classic.
Born To Race was a 2011 straight-to-video racing movie that apparently was well received or successful enough to warrant us the sequel Born To Race: Fast Track. This time, the main character of Danny Krueger has been recast, going from Joseph Cross to Brett Davern. And if you could tell me who these guys are outside of this movie series, than you’re more with it than I am. This one advances the story to a more professional racing aspect than the original was from what I gather. The real question is after this movie, will we be lucky enough to see another film in this series in a couple years? And will they recast the lead again?
Remember the crazy voiced comedian and actor Bobcat Goldthwait? You know, Zed from the Police Academy movies? Well, he’s gone and transformed himself into a director in the last half decade or so. He earned some accolades for his previous film God Bless America back in 2011. Now, he’s been getting some more attention for his latest film, Willow Creek. Bobcat decided to take on the horror genre for his follow up to God Bless America. And not just that, he got on the found footage bandwagon. The subject matter of this such film is the legendary monster, Bigfoot.
