Now, they get to introduce Chucky to the 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray format. Rather than just coast on […]
There’s no denying the ultimate power of 1985’s Fright Night! It made vampires cool again. It was a kind of meta-vampire movie like Scream was a decade later for slasher films. A love letter to the likes of Peter Cushing/Vincent Price/Christopher Lee and Hammer horror films. And at the end of the day, one of […]
Terminator 2, Predator, the Evil Dead films, Die Hard; some movies are just regularly given new home media releases. The Princess Bride is most certainly one of them.

Twenty-five years later, fans can relive the merry misadventure—and sing or shriek along […]
Dan O’Bannon’s 1990 film, The Resurrected is getting the Scream Factory Blu-ray treatment come September 12th.

The John Terry/Chris Sarandon horror/thriller was a part of the budding straight-to-video boom in the late 1980s/early 1990s. However, it did play for […]

The 1980s was a decade that offered many new iconic horror villains and continued the lore and mythology of ones introduced in the 1970s. It was a kind of resurgence of horror characters, harkening back to the days of the Universal monsters back in the 1940s. At the tail end of the decade we were […]

The Why So Blu top Blu-rays of 2015 wheel has spun and landed on me. Once again, I’m honored to close this out and go last. 2015 was a game-changer year for me with Blu-ray personally. For years, my colleague Gerard has been nagging at me to get a region-free player. I would complain about […]

This one is sort of an abnormal review. Not only is it a hybrid, a review coverage of both a Blu-ray and DVD, but also it’s a bit unorthodox the way in which I’m going about tackling this. There’s no grading system employed here. This one’s pure entertainment! And let’s face it, there’s nothing new you […]

Over the years the horror legend and I have kept in touch and I’m even involved in an upcoming project of his, but we’re not here to talk about that today…just yet. We’re here about something both old and new […]
