Sam Raimi’s Darkman may already be on Blu-ray, but that release will be entirely amateur compared to what Scream Factory has up their sleeves for it. Its getting their legendary “Collector’s Edition” treatment and they have a big big big grab on this one. Its going to contain a brand new interview with star Liam […]

Scream Factory has provided us with a load of clips for their upcoming release of John Carpenter’s Body Bags. I’ve already reviewed the film HERE. The horror anthology brings plenty of laughs, scares and disturbing stuff. Fun for the whole family! It’s also a chance to catch Carpenter himself in rare form. He hams it […]

Scream Factory continues to roll out and lay claim to King Of Jon Carpenter Blu-rays this November. They will be releasing what I can easily say will be a superior version of his cult classic Assault On Precinct 13 November 19 (this has already been released before through a different distributor). The week prior, they […]

I would not have thought that a remake of The Evil Dead would have been one of my most anticipated films of the year, but Evil Dead had me very excited and I was very happy to really enjoy it in theaters (twice, review HERE) this past April. The film had a bold marketing campaign […]

To bring some up to speed, I am a huge fan of the original Evil Dead trilogy. These films, directed by Sam “Spider-Man” Raimi and starring Bruce “Don’t Call Me Ash” Campbell, are ones that I watch every year in a marathon session and are known as cult favorites among many horror film fans. The […]

Many of my friends know that I love The Evil Dead trilogy, the cult horror films from director Sam Raimi (Spider-Man, Oz The Great and Powerful) and star Bruce Campbell. I watch all three films (The Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness) back-to-back-to-back every year in October, involving as many people as […]

This has not really occurred to me until recently, but Oz is quite the expansive franchise. Along with the original books by L. Frank Baum, the series has had a multitude of different adaptations on almost every platform, including several films and musicals, stage plays, comics, and even video games. Given how successful it was […]

Seriously, how bland is The Possession for a horror movie title? The Possession is everything one would expect from a late August or early January horror film release. This of course means it was filmed a while ago, sat around until things seemed clear enough, and was then dumped into theaters. There is something to […]

When it comes to our coverage of the famed original Starz series Spartacus, there’s nothing bigger around here at Why So Blu.
