Once again, the time of year has come upon us; the end of the Blu-ray release year. I’m a little later than prior years on this and its because the announcement to release window is becoming incredible short. Just last week I posted about four Transformers movies coming to 4K Ultra-HD within the next couple […]

Twenty years ago this September launched a little horror series called Wishmaster. Back when a horror movie could do over fifteen million at the box office and be considered a success, that’s what this was. While coming post-Scream, it was before the effects and wave had taken over (That would come a month later with […]

Its not like we’re winding down any time soon on films that still need to make it to the Blu-ray format. There are ah-plenty. Heck, there are films that still never made it to VHS or DVD. 2016 introduced us to 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays. The new wave, the new cream of the crop. And […]

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 […]

It’s Halloween season and that means I watch a bunch of horror movies. I mean, I watch horror movies a lot any time of year, but this month is especially big. It’s like Christmas for a scary movie fan! My favorite long running horror movie franchise is A Nightmare on Elm Street. While Black Christmas […]

I’m a big big fan and lover of the A Nightmare On Elm Street franchise. I grew up with Freddy Krueger as well as Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees. Freddy became the absolute phenomenon of those guys though. He was everywhere. And he’s left an incredible legacy and a ton of fans. Never Sleep Again […]

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 […]

John Carpenter’s Body Bags is a an oft forgotten film of his and horror anthology. It was a Showtime movie back in 1993, back when it wasn’t as “cool” to have an original idea on Showtime (Showtime did do Psycho IV as well). In Carpenter’s mind, this was a one shot. But Showtime wanted this […]

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 […]

Further proof that the 70s were a wonderful time for horror films, although this is less of a horror film and more of a series of unfortunate and really messed up events involving two teenage girls and a group of escaped psychotic killer convicts, The Last House on the Left is a film that pushed […]

I had a chance to watch the opening of Scream once I got home, after watching this third sequel. I think those 10 minutes may be the best thing that director Wes Craven has ever done. The sequence has a lot of fun playing with convention, ratcheting up the tension, and then paying off in […]
