Scream Factory Salutes Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD with a New 4K Restoration!!!

ROMERO'S FORMERLY UNDERAPPRECIATED ZOMBIE CLASSIC GETS AN INCREDIBLE 4K RELEASE ON JUNE 16TH!

You know, it's funny: A few months ago I was lamenting that Scream Factory's best days were seemingly behind them, as they've been focusing their efforts on putting out 4K UHDs of titles that were already in their catalog. (There's also been a lot of steelbook re-releases too! Ugh!)

And then they announced a 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition of DAY OF THE DEAD, a 4K UHD of a title that was already in their catalog...... and TOTALLY REDEEMED THEMSELVES!

Somehow the long-lost original interpositive for DAY OF THE DEAD was discovered last year by Radial Entertainment's Jeff Roland, leading to one of the most highly-anticipated physical media titles of 2026! My fellow collectors, the time is nigh to make a necessary 4K upgrade! But first, let us bask in the glow of the wonderful details of this upcoming 4-disc Collector's Edition!

Synopsis: In George A. Romero's third film in the saga of the undead, a small group of scientists and soldiers take refuge in an underground missile silo as they struggle to control the flesh-eating horror that walks the Earth above. But as tensions within the base reach their breaking-point, will the final battle for the future be fought among the living or have they forever unleashed the hunger of the dead?

Widely regarded as one of the most influential horror films ever made, DAY OF THE DEAD is the triumphant conclusion to George A. Romero's landmark Dead trilogy — the series that defined the modern zombie genre and forever changed the face of horror filmmaking.

The film stars Lori Cardille as the determined scientist Dr. Sarah Bowman, alongside Terry Alexander, Joseph Pilato as the menacing Captain Rhodes, Richard Liberty, Jarlath Conroy, and Sherman Howard — whose portrayal of the domesticated zombie Bub remains one of the most iconic performances in horror history. Special make-up effects by the legendary Tom Savini pushed the boundaries of practical effects and set a new standard for the genre.

Over the years I've gone back and forth on which of Romero's classic zombie films I enjoy the most: NIGHT, DAWN, or DAY?! While I'm still inclined to choose DAWN as my absolute favorite, I respect the hell out of the eerie, and highly influential 1968 original, and have really come to love the third chapter in Romero's beloved zombie series! 

I'm legitimately excited for Scream Factory's upcoming 4K restoration of, what I used to (foolishly) believe, was the weakest entry in the LIVING DEAD franchise! With its wealth of extras and cool packaging, you better believe that I'm going to make certain that this Collector's Edition of DAY OF THE DEAD will be proudly displayed upon a shelf, right next to my deluxe 4K (Second Sight) release of DAWN! I just need to pre-order it ASAP!

Speaking of which.... the new DAY will dawn on Tuesday, June 16th, and it will likely cost you somewhere between $40 - $50! So be like me and pre-order this awesome set right now from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, DIABOLIK DVD, GRUV, or ORBIT DVD!

  

THE GHOST GALLEON Sets Sail on 4K UHD on April 28th, 2026!

 

NEW VINEGAR SYNDROME SUB-LABEL 'BIZARRO,' BRINGS THE THIRD ENTRY OF 'THE BLIND DEAD' SERIES TO 4K UHD AT THE END OF THE MONTH!

Note: I am (now) fully aware that this title was already previously released to Limited Edition 4K UHD on Vinegar Syndrome's website a ways back! This press release is for the more widely-available "standard edition."

I try really hard these days to keep up to date on all things cinema-related (particularly anything to do with physical media), but real-life responsibilities keep diverting my attention away from the hobby I love so much. Which is why up until very recently, I didn't realize that Vinegar Syndrome brought another new sub-label into its fold, namely Bizzaro! 

In fact these guys are so new that this Blind Dead sequel 4K disc is only their second release (their first being A CANDLE FOR THE DEVIL)! Hopefully they catch on with collectors  because more Spanish Horror on Blu-ray and/or 4K UHD is never a bad thing! 

Synopsis: A publicity stunt gone horribly wrong strands two bikini-clad models in fog-shrouded waters where they encounter a ghostly galleon—the floating tomb of the undead Knights Templar, the Blind Dead. When the models vanish without a trace, a desperate rescue party boards the eerie ship only to find themselves trapped in a supernatural nightmare entwined with satanic cult rituals. Haunted by the sound-hunting, eyeless Templar corpses, the survivors must confront ancient curses and a relentless, otherworldly evil that blurs the boundaries between life and death.

Featuring a captivating cast including Jack Taylor (PIECES, COUNT DRACULA), Maria Perschy (THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE DARK), and Bárbara Rey (THE NIGHT OF THE SORCERERS), THE GHOST GALLEON (1974) is the third chilling chapter in the cult Blind Dead saga. Written and directed by visionary Amando de Ossorio, it melds atmospheric Gothic horror with a surreal, dream-like quality and unforgettable undead mythology. Acclaimed by genre devotees for its eerie mood, and widely regarded as the most surprising film in the saga, this 4K restoration from the original camera negative brings the legendary Templar knights back to life—fully uncut and loaded with brand new and archival extras, making it essential viewing for fans of Euro-horror and supernatural terror.

Disc Specs:
Not Rated | 90 minutes | Color | Region A (Blu-ray) / Region Free (4K UHD)
Resolution - 1080p (Blu-ray) & 2160p (4K UHD)
Aspect Ratio - 1.85:1 Widescreen
Audio - Spanish & English DTS-HD Master Audio 1.0

Extras:

• NEW! 4K RESTORATION FROM THE ORIGINAL CAMERA NEGATIVE!
• Original Spanish and English dub tracks, with newly translated English subtitles!
• NEW! A Childhood Discovery: An appreciation by Diego López-Fernández, creator of El buque maldito fanzine!
• NEW! A New Mythology in Spanish Horror: An interview with Sitges Film Festival director Ángel Sala on Amando de Ossorio's horror career!
• NEW! Unmasking the Templars: An interview with FX artist and film historian Antonio Garcinuño!
• Amando de Ossorio: The Last Templar — An archival documentary featuring Amando de Ossorio, Lone Fleming, Paul Naschy, and Jack Taylor, among other key figures of Spanish horror cinema!
• Alternate English-language titles.

The Blind Dead series occupies a weird middle ground with yours truly. I love the unique concept of the sightless, undead husks of the film's evil Knights Templar rising from the grave (and riding zombie horses no less!!!) to feast on the blood of the living. But holy hell, the often lethargic pacing and constant use of slow-motion (which seems unnecessary seeing as how the zombie knights already move as fast as molasses), coupled with the almost hypnotic (and highly atmospheric) soundtrack by Antón García Abril makes these classic horror films a real chore to sit through sometimes.

That being said, as the proud owner of Blue Underground's old DVD set of the films, I'm very much excited that (most of) the Blind Dead movies are being lovingly restored in 4K! While I'm personally holding out for a new 4K boxed set of de Ossorio's iconic films (might be a long wait since the rights seem to be all over the place at the moment), don't let that stop you from adding this disc to your collection!

Bizarro's new restoration of THE GHOST GALLEON is currently slated for an April 28th street date, and should cost you somewhere between $32 - $50. Naturally you can order a copy direct from VINEGAR SYNDROME, but it is also available from AMAZON and BULL MOOSE. (Surprisingly, there isn't a listing at DIABOLIK DVD just yet. Hmmm...) 

 

Arrow Video Has T.U.R.T.L.E. Power! - The Original TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES TRILOGY is Coming to 4K!

 

ARROW VIDEO BRINGS THE LIVE-ACTION TRILOGY TO 4K UHD ON DECEMBER 16TH WITH HOURS OF NEW BONUS FEATURES!

Having just seen the 35th Anniversary limited theatrical re-release of the 1990 TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, I gotta say that not only does the film still hold up remarkably well, but it looks fantastic! And you bet your shell that I'll be making the upgrade to 4K, especially since so much behind-the-scenes footage has been discovered and likely to be included in this release!

If you already own these movies on Blu-ray (like I do), you may thinking "why do I need to spend more money on something that's currently in my collection?!" Well, the easy answer is you don't. BUT if you're a fan of these films and, more importantly, the characters, you probably won't be able to help yourself once you peep out the specs & extras! Let's pop open a manhole cover and take a closer look!

Synopses: A shell-shocking saga of mutants, martial arts and New York mayhem, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trilogy brought comic book grit, practical effects wizardry and pizza-fuelled fun to a generation of moviegoers, helping turn four sewer-dwelling brothers into global pop culture icons.

Launching in 1990 with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, director Steve Barron's gritty, high-energy adaptation of the underground comic became a box office phenomenon, fusing martial arts action, streetwise humor, and the groundbreaking animatronics of Jim Henson's Creature Shop. 

 

The 1991 sequel The Secret of the Ooze is an irresistibly fun second slice: a deep-dive into the turtles' origins where new mutant foes Tokka and Rahzar are thrown in the mix... double the stakes, double the pizza! 

 

Rounding out the trilogy, 1993's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III sends the heroes in a half shell back to feudal Japan in a time-travel adventure full of samurai showdowns, ancient legends, and comic chaos.

Restored in glorious 4K and packed with extras, this radical set celebrates the legacy of Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael in one of the most iconic franchises of the era, blending innovative effects, comic-book heart, and early '90s attitude.

GODZILLA: MINUS ONE Stomps Its Way to Blu-ray & 4K UHD on November 19th!

COMPLETE YOUR GODZILLA MOVIE COLLECTION THIS NOVEMBER WITH TAKASHI YAMAZAKI'S OSCAR-WINNING KAIJU FILM!

I've been a huge Godzilla fan since I was a kid, and I can't begin to tell you how amazed I am at the longevity that this frequent harbinger of doom/defender of Earth has enjoyed. It's hard to believe that Godzilla has been a global pop-culture icon for seventy years!!!

And though I am fairly content with the increasingly fun and crazy "Monsterverse" movies currently being cranked out by Legendary Films, you have no idea how thrilled I was to see GODZILLA: MINUS ONE on the big screen last year. I mean hell, just seeing that Toho logo come up on the screen was enough to elicit a feeling of pure joy from yours truly!

I loved MINUS ONE enough to warrant a second theatrical viewing on the big screen, and watched in awe as it raked in a shocking amount of money at the global box office, was nominated for, and won, an Academy Award, and broke records on various streaming platforms, including NetFlix! And now, after a very long wait, GODZILLA: MINUS ONE is arriving on all physical media formats this November, which is great news to fans who failed to snag the (now OOP) Limited Edition 4K/Blu-ray set that Godzilla.com's Store offered up earlier this year!

Synopsis: In the waning days of World War II, Shikishima (Ryunosuke Kamiki), a surviving Kamikaze pilot, and a squad of plane engineers stationed on Odo Island, are attacked by a gargantuan monster. Years later, Shikishima teams up with a large group of military veterans to finally take down the (now nuclear-powered) monster known as Godzilla.

So I've got good news and bad news about these upcoming physical media releases Vault Dwellers. First the good news: Both the Blu-ray and 4K editions of GODZILLA: MINUS ONE seem to be identical to their Japanese counterparts (though I still have no idea if the bonus features will contain English subtitles), and as an added bonus, it appears that there is indeed an English audio dub of the film! The bad news is that if you really want to own a copy of GODZILLA: MINUS ONE/MINUS COLOR, you'll need to snag the 3-Disc Limited Edition Steelbook, which as of my posting this seems to be sold out everywhere! (What?! NOOOOOOO!)

The street date for GODZILLA: MINUS ONE is (tentatively) November 19th - the Blu-ray should cost about $25, the 4K should be approximately $30 - $35, and the steelbook should price around $30 - $50! You can order the standard edition Blu-ray from AMAZON or BULL MOOSE, and the standard 2-Disc 4K UHD from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, or DIABOLIK DVD. As for the coveted 3-Disc Limited Edition Steelbook, it is listed as sold out at Amazon, Wal-Mart, Target, Deep Discount, Movies Unlimited, and Gruv. So unless Toho decides to do another run, your only choice is to overpay one of the many scalpers over at eBay.

No One Said Surviving High School Would Be Easy - CUTTING CLASS Arrives on 4K UHD!

ON JANUARY 30TH, CUTTING CLASS BECOMES THE THIRD ADDITION TO MVD'S 4K LASERVISION COLLECTION!

 

I missed out on CUTTING CLASS when Vinegar Syndrome released it back in 2018, but did manage to see it in 35mm at The Mahoning Drive-In Theater during one of their big weekend events! (I also got to meet Jill Schoelen and have her sign a D.C. CAB mini poster! She was a total sweetheart!) While the movie didn't exactly blow me away, I had a fun time with it and would probably give it another go.

And now I'll have the chance to do so thanks to the efforts of MVD, who are releasing this title as part of their ongoing LaserVision Collection, which also currently includes SWAMP THING and GHOULIES! If you missed out on the previous Vinegar Syndrome release, then you'll definitely want to snap this one up. But if you already VinSyn's disc, will you want this new release instead/as well? Let's take a quick glance at what this new 4K offers up before you spend any money!

Synopsis: High school can be murder. Just ask Paula (Jill Schoelen - THE STEPFATHER, POPCORN). Her overprotective father disappears during a weekend hunting trip. She's being romantically pursued by Brian Woods (Donovan Leitch - THE BLOB '88), a creepy classmate who recently graduated from a mental institution. Her jealous jock boyfriend Dwight (Brad Pitt - MONEYBALL, WORLD WAR Z) is looking for any reason to release his juvenile rage.

The lecherous school principle Mr. Dante (Roddy McDowall - FRIGHT NIGHT, CLASS OF 1984) is after her student body, and her friends and teachers are rapidly falling victim to a silent, shadowy mass-murder. As the body count rises, Paula begins to suspect that any one of her reckless suitors could be the twisted killer. But unless she learns his identity soon, her high school education will quickly come to a nasty end.

CUTTING CLASS will be available at most retailers on January 30th and should cost between $27 - $40! Secure your copy now from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, DIABOLIK DVD, or MVD's online shop!

Some Things Shouldn't Be Disturbed.... THE BOOGENS Arrives on 4K UHD on January 30th!

 

JAMES L. CONWAY'S CLASSIC CREATURE FEATURE GETS A NEW 4K MAKEOVER FROM KINO LORBER STUDIO CLASSICS!

Originally released to Blu-ray by the now defunct Olive Films label (good riddance!), THE BOOGENS returns to the realm of physical media with an all-new 4K restoration from Kino Lorber on Tuesday, January 30th! Initially I was not a fan of this low-budget creature feature, but after seeing it at a past Exhumed Films 24-Hour Horrorthon with a crowd, I had a complete change of heart!

With its unique carnivorous cave-dwelling critters, likeable cast, and talented canine actor (Tiger!), THE BOOGENS hits all the right notes and has rightfully earned a cult following over the past few decades! And now the time has come for those of us who already own the previous Olive Films' disc to make the important decision on whether to upgrade or be content with what we already have. Is THE BOOGENS worth the leap to 4K? Well, let's examine what this new disc offers up and then make an informed decision fellow collectors!

Synopsis: In a small town near Denver, two young men explore a long-abandoned mine recently re-opened by a group of miners, leading to horrifying consequences. Unaware of the evil that has been unleashed, soon, one by one, people begin to disappear! The grisly truth is eventually revealed and a young couple is forced to confront the unknown in order to save their lives… and the entire town! After 100 years they have reawakened… Prepare to meet THE BOOGENS!

While I think there's enough new stuff to warrante an upgrade, I'm likely going to hold off on getting a copy at the moment (biding my time until the next big Kino sale).

Terror Beyond Belief! Synapse Films' Standard 4K Release of Dario Argento's TENEBRAE is Now Available!

SYNAPSE FILMS' 2-DISC EDITION OF "TENEBRAE," IS A MORE WALLET-FRIENDLY WAY FOR FANS TO OWN THEIR BEAUTIFUL 4K RESTORATION OF DARIO ARGENTO'S MUCH-CELEBRATED GIALLO!

Back in July of this year, Synapse Films released a Limited (to 8,000) Edition 3-Disc set of TENEBRAE, which included the recreated 90-minute UNSANE cut, as well as a collectible booklet, a double-sided poster (featuring the Italian and Japanese poster art), and a half-dozen double-sided lobby card reproductions! However, the price-tag on that bad boy was pretty hefty, starting at $65 or higher depending on the retailer! Thankfully, Synapse has made their fantastic 4K restoration of the film far more attainable with this new 4K/Blu-ray combo, which retains all of the bonus features (save one) from the limited edition release! If TENEBRAE is your Argento film of choice (personally, my favorite will always be DEEP RED) and you somehow don't own it, or are looking to upgrade from DVD or Blu-ray, then this 2-disc set deserves a spot in your collection!

Synopsis: Italian horror master Dario Argento elevates the giallo genre to new heights with 1982's TENBRAE, a darkly humorous and notoriously grisly murder-mystery that many consider to be one of his finest works. Now, Synapse Films, in conjunction with Arrow Video makes this gory suspense classic available in a new 4K restoration! American mystery author Peter Neal (Anthony Franciosa, DEATH WISH II) comes to Rome to promote his newest novel, Tenebrae. 

A razor-wielding psychopath is on the loose, taunting Neal and murdering those around him in gruesome fashion just like the character in his novel. As the mystery surrounding the killings spirals out of control, Neal investigates the crimes on his own, leading to a mind-bending, genre-twisting conclusion that will leave you breathless! Co-starring John Saxon (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, NIGHTMARE BEACH), Daria Nicolodi (PHENOMENA), John Steiner (CALIGULA), and featuring beautiful cinematography by Luciano Tovoli (SUSPIRIA), this stunning all-new 4K restoration includes hours of extras!

The only thing (other than the poster, lobby cards, and packaging) that sets this new 2-disc set apart from the pricier limited edition is the UNSANE disc. If having the shorter U.S. cut is imperative, then snag a copy ASAP from Diabolik DVD! Otherwise, you should be good to go with this standard edition from Synapse Films! The restoration work is top notch, and the there is so much bonus material that you'll have to spend the better part of a day (or two) to get through all of it! If you're convinced that you need TENEBRAE in your collection, then order a copy of this 4K/Blu-ray combo now from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, DIABOLIK DVD, or direct from SYNAPSE FILMS!

Women Try to Conquer the World in Jess Franco's THE GIRL FROM RIO - Arriving on 4K UHD on 09/26/23!

 THE SEQUEL TO "THE MILLION EYES OF SUMURU" GETS A FANTASTIC 4K RESTORATION AND NEW BONUS FEATURES FROM BLUE UNDERGROUND!

I have barely dipped a toe in the cinematic exploits of Jess Franco (I've seen maybe three of his directorial efforts), but it seems like THE GIRL FROM RIO would be right up my alley. While odds are fairly good that I'll stumble across its Rifftraxed version sooner rather than later, I've read enough about this SUMURU sequel to possibly take a blind leap and pick up Blue Underground's brand-spanking new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray of the film! If you enjoy euro-spy thrillers and/or the films of Jess Franco, this seems like it's an immediate must-own disc! Let's take a closer look, shall we?!

Synopsis: In the tradition of BARBARELLA and DANGER: DIABOLIK comes this swinging '60s action orgy as bisexual super-villain Sumitra (aka Sumuru, the luscious Shirley Eaton of GOLDFINGER and THE BLOOD OF FU MANCHU) launches a diabolical plan to enslave the male species with her army of lusty warrior women. But when Sumitra kidnaps a fugitive American playboy, she crosses a sadistic crime boss (Academy Award winner George Sanders of ALL ABOUT EVE and VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED) and ignites a battle of the sexes that will bring Brazil to its knees in more ways than one. Get ready to experience director Jess Franco at his most erotic, exotic and bizarre. This is THE GIRL FROM RIO!

Richard Wyler (THE BOUNTY KILLER) and Maria Rohm (EUGENIE, JUSTINE) co-star in this kinky cult favorite (also known as Rio 70, Future Women, and The Seven Secrets of Sumuru), packed with go-go boots, miniskirts and outrageous Jess Franco style!

(That's kind of awesome actually - I hope other companies start doing this as well!) THE GIRL FROM RIO's 4K arrives on September 26th and will cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $32 - $50! (Oof! That's pricey!) You can add this Jess Franco classic to your collection now by ordering from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, or DIABOLIK DVD!

Now Available on 4K Steelbook: Berry Gordy's THE LAST DRAGON!

 WITNESS SONY PICTURES' ALL-NEW 4K RESTORATION OF BRUCE LEROY'S LEGENDARY QUEST TO BECOME A MARTIAL ARTS MASTER!

Ever since the fateful day I first witnessed THE LAST DRAGON on Cinemax in my youth (which I later taped off of TV so could watch it again at my leisure), I've been a huge fan! I've owned this movie on DVD and Blu-ray, and have the (now out of print) soundtrack CD (which I still play from time to time on road trips)! But now the chance to upgrade my current Blu-ray copy of this beloved 80s classic is here again with the release of Sony's new 4K Steelbook of Berry Gordy's Motown martial arts masterpiece! But should you make the leap to 4K for this particular title? Well let's take a look at what Sony Pictures is offering up here to help you make an informed decision. (Spoiler: The answer is yes! Always YES!)

Synopsis: Martial arts student Leroy Green (Taimak) is on a quest to obtain the elusive all-powerful force know as "The Glow." Along the way he must battle the evil, self-proclaimed Shogun of Harlem - a kung fu warrior also known as Sho-nuff (Julius J. Carry III) - and rescue a beautiful singer (Prince protege Vanity) from an obsessed record promoter.

Combining pulsating music, cutting edge dancing and the best in non-stop action, Berry Gordy's THE LAST DRAGON is kickin' good fun featuring an amazing Motown soundtrack, including music by Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Vanity, and Debarge performing their smash hit "Rhythm of the Night."

This 4K steelbook should cost between $30 - $37, and is currently available wherever movies are sold! Snag a copy today from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, or DIABOLIK DVD!

What An Excellent Day for An Exorcism! Warner Bros. Brings William Friedkin's THE EXORCIST to 4K UHD for its 50th Anniversary!

WARNER BROS. BRINGS ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL HORROR FILMS OF ALL TIME TO THE 4K UHD FORMAT ON SEPTEMBER 19TH!

While it may be a bit on the tamer side today, when THE EXORCIST came out just after Christmas in 1973 it shocked the world, terrified generations of moviegoers, and helped bring the Horror genre into the mainstream! Now here we are 50 years later, and after numerous knock-offs (e.g. ABBY and BEYOND THE DOOR), two prequels, and two sequels (with another on the way!) Friedkin's original has proven to have quite the legacy!

To celebrate fifty years of a pea-soup vomiting, head-spinning, trash-talking Linda Blair, Warner Bros. has brought THE EXORCIST to 4K disc! (With another Deluxe Collector's Edition on the way in October that has MORE bonus features and different packaging... and a heftier pricetag! More on that later!) If you don't already own this movie, well I guess now's the time to add it to your collection. But if you already do, is it worth it to make the upgrade? Let's find out!

Synopsis: Controversial, haunting and popular from the moment it opened, William Friedkin's masterpiece THE EXORCIST turns 50 years old, featuring stunning 4K UHD restorations of the original 1973 Theatrical Version and the 2000 Extended Director's Cut! The terrifying and realistic tale of an innocent girl inhabited by a terrifying entity, her mother's frantic resolve to save her and two priests - one doubt-ridden, the other a rock of faith - joined to battle the ultimate evil, always leaves viewers breathless. Winner of two Academy Awards® and nominated for an additional eight including Best Picture, this greatest supernatural thriller of all time still astonishes and unsettles like no other movie.

Disc Specs:
Rated R | Color | 132 minutes (theatrical) & 143 minutes (extended) | Region Free
Video - 2160p (HDR10) Widescreen (1.85:1)
Audio - English Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD 7.1, DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono

• Introduction by William Friedkin.
• Commentary by William Friedkin.
• Commentary by William Peter Blatty with Special Sound Effects.

• Commentary by William Friedkin!

So here's my take on this release Vault Dwellers - if you do not own the film OR aren't too worried about bonus features, this standard 50th anniversary release (which goes for approximately $25) is perfect for you. You can pre-order this version from AMAZON or BULL MOOSE! (Or if you're a steelbook enthusiast, you can get the Best Buy Exclusive Steelbook which definitely has a way better cover!)

Now if you want LOTS of bonus features and don't mind paying almost five times more, there's always the 4-disc(?) DELUXE ULTIMATE COLLECTOR'S EDITION which drops on October 20th! This is a UK import, with the 4K disc being REGION FREE and the accompanying Blu-rays being Region-B locked.

Here's what you get with this $90 release:

MVD Will Get You in the End With Their New 4K Collector's Edition of GHOULIES!

MVD ADDS THE INFAMOUS B-MOVIE CLASSIC TO THEIR NEW LASERVISION COLLECTION LABEL ON SEPTEMBER 12TH!

If you told me a year ago that the Charles Band-produced GHOULIES was going to receive a 4K UHD release, I probably would have scoffed at you. And yet, here we are! 

The little rubber monster classic that traumatized an entire generation of potty-training kids with its promotional campaign is now the second release in MVD's new "LaserVision Collection!" (The first one being Wes Craven's SWAMP THING!) Boasting an all new 4K restoration, this title (which was formerly released in a double feature set by Scream Factory) comes with a plethora of bonus features and, if you get it early enough, a new slipcover and mini-poster!

If you already own GHOULIES on another format but currently have your interest piqued, come with me on this journey to see if an upgrade to 4K is warranted! (Spoiler Alert: IT IS!)

Synopsis: Take a creepy old Hollywood mansion, a naïve young man and a pretty girl. Add an over-the-top orgy and some slimy, winged goblins who crawl out of toilets, and you have GHOULIES, a horrifying and hilarious ride into the darkest regions of hell! Conjured during a party thrown by the mansion's new owner, the hairy, fanged demons waste no time wreaking havoc on the scene - and declaring the unsuspecting owner their new lord and master!

MVD's 4K Collector's Edition of GHOULIES will debut on Tuesday, September 12th and should cost between $33 - $50! Snag a copy ASAP (especially if you want a slipcover and mini poster!) from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, DIABOLIK DVD, or directly from MVD ENTERTAINMENT'S ONLINE STORE! 

Notes: For those of you who refuse to make the change over to 4K UHD, or just can't justify the current cost of this disc fear not - MVD is putting out a Collector's Edition Blu-ray the same day that's a little bit cheaper and has all of the same extras! I should also note that they're also releasing a Blu-ray of GHOULIES II (easily the best entry in the four-film series) the same day, with a 4K release planned sometime in 2024!

The Original INVADERS FROM MARS Lands on 4K Disc on July 11th!

THE 1953 SCI-FI CLASSIC GETS AN INCREDIBLE 4K RESTORATION, AND SOME GREAT BONUS FEATURES, FROM IGNITE FILMS!

Note: Ignite Films released the Limited Edition of this title last December, which came with a slipcover and a 20-page essay on the film's "nightmarish" restoration process. The release I'm covering today is the standard edition, which has all of the same extras, but is missing the essay and slipcover (unless you order a copy directly from Ignite Films' online shop)!

I've got to be 100% honest here Vault Dwellers: I have never seen the original INVADERS FROM MARS! Unbelievable, right?! The Tobe Hooper remake from 1986 is a personal favorite of mine that I revisit every so often, but I just never got around to watching its predecessor! With Ignite Films (a company that's been around since the early 90s, but is only just now dipping a toe into the realm of physical media) releasing INVADERS on 4K disc next week, I think it's about damned time I remedy this injustice! So come with me to "Copper Hill" my fellow disc maniacs, for a closer look at one of the most highly anticipated boutique releases of this year!

Synopsis: In the early 1950s, Cold War tensions and the burgeoning space race created a heady mix of paranoia and unbridled creativity as filmmakers speculated as to the marvels – and horrors – that lay beyond the stars. Among those leading the charge, William Cameron Menzies’ (THINGS TO COME) INVADERS FROM MARS terrified audiences upon its release in 1953 with its chilling vision of an insidious alien attack on small-town Americana.

On a dark and stormy night, a young boy, David McLean (Jimmy Hunt, PITFALL), observes what appears to be a flying saucer crash-landing in his town. Shortly thereafter, the grown-ups – including his own parents – begin acting decidedly strangely. Convinced there’s a link between this epidemic of bizarre behavior and what he witnessed that night, David turns to local health official Dr. Blake (Helena Carter, KISS TOMORROW GOODBYE) for help. But can these two unlikely heroes, together with famed astronomer Dr. Kelston (Arthur Franz, THE CAINE MUTINY), withstand the might of a full-blown invasion from outer space?

A landmark in sci-fi cinema, INVADERS FROM MARS inspired filmmakers as wide-ranging as Don Coscarelli (the PHANTASM series), Brad Bird (THE IRON GIANT) and John Carpenter (THE THING). Now fully restored for its 70th anniversary, this trend-setting Atom Age classic unleashes its spine-tingling terror on a whole new generation of filmgoers in this brand new remastered presentation!

If You've Got a Taste for Terror... Get CARRIE on 4K UHD on December 13th!

SCREAM FACTORY BRINGS BRIAN DE PALMA'S FANTASTIC ADAPTION OF THE STEPHEN KING NOVEL TO 4K, IN BOTH STANDARD AND STEELBOOK EDITIONS!

Though there's been a sequel, a made-for-TV remake, and a big budget Hollywood reboot, the original 1976 CARRIE is still clearly the best version of the Stephen King tale of a tortured teenage girl that unleashes her telekinetic powers upon those that wronged her. And now CARRIE is the latest Scream Factory double-dip, featuring a new 4k transfer, one new audio commentary, a newspaper ad gallery, plus the plethora of extras from the previous Blu-ray release! If you haven't yet added this movie to your collection, now is the time to do it Vault Dwellers! And if you already do have CARRIE, this seems like a worthy upgrade!

Synopsis: Based on the best-selling Stephen King novel, this "absolutely spellbinding horror movie" (Roger Ebert) stars Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie in Oscar-nominated* performances. This ultimate revenge fantasy has become one of the all-time great horror classics!

At the center of the terror is Carrie (Spacek), a high school loner with no confidence, no friends ... and no idea about the extent of her secret powers of telekinesis. But when her psychotic mother and sadistic classmates finally go too far, the once-shy teen becomes an unrestrained, vengeance-seeking powerhouse who, with the help of her "special gift," causes all hell to break loose in a famed cinematic frenzy of blood, fire and brimstone! This classic also stars John Travolta (BLOW OUT), Amy Irving (THE FURY), William Katt (HOUSE), and P.J. Soles (HALLOWEEN).

 

Collectors realizing that they have to purchase CARRIE again.

While I haven't been a big fan of Scream Factory's somewhat recent decision to focus on re-releasing titles in new 4K editions, I must admit that the fact that they are using the original theatrical artwork, and adding a few additional bonus features, kind of sweetens the pot. The 3-disc standard Collector's Edition 4K UHD of CARRIE arrives on Tuesday, December 13th and should cost between $28 - $36! You can pre-order it now from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, DIABOLIK DVD, or directly from SHOUT! FACTORY.

FACTORY. (Note: Ordering either the standard or steelbook editions directly from Scream/Shout! will net you a poster!) However, if you're a hardcore CARRIE fan, then you may want to indulge in one of Shout!/Scream Factory's exclusive bundles:
