You Better Watch Out for Vestron Video Collector's Series' New SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT COLLECTION!

THE REMAINDER OF THE "SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT" FRANCHISE COMES TO BLU-RAY DISC ON DECEMBER 13TH WITH A SURPRISING NUMBER OF BONUS FEATURES!

I absolutely adore the mean-spirited insanity of the original SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT, I appreciate the awful (but glorious) cheesiness of PART 2 ("Garbage Day!"), and the 2012 reboot of the original was... okay, but I honestly don't remember much about the rest of the films that make up the series. (Hell, I don't even recall if I've actually seen Parts 3 and 4!) Thankfully on December 13th, I can reacquaint myself with the absolutely insane trio of holiday horror films that involve psychos, witches, and murderous toys! And because this is part of Lionsgate's ongoing Vestron Video Collector's Series line, these movies have truly gotten way more love than they deserve!

Synopses: Prepare for a trilogy of pure terror with this collection of films from the SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT series. In BETTER WATCH OUT!, it's a very bloody Christmas after Ricky Caldwell, the notorious "Killer Santa Claus," awakens from a six-year coma with one thing on his mind: murder. In INITIATION, a reporter's investigation into a mysterious death leads her into the clutches of a cult that's chosen her as its new queen, and THE TOY MAKER stars entertainment legend Mickey Rooney as a toy maker whose creations display some very human – and deadly – tendencies.

Egads! I can't believe they put this much effort into this trio of sequels Vault Dwellers: We get new audio commentaries, new cast & crew interviews, still galleries, trailers, and (according to Blu-ray.com's review) greatly improved picture and audio over the previous DVD release! (Note: To those of you preparing to complain about the aspect ratios, the films were originally shot in fullscreen.) I was already looking forward to slapping another Vestron title in line with the others, but now I'm legitimately excited to get this set in the mail next week!

Speaking of which, the SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT COLLECTION will be available everywhere discs are sold on Tuesday, December 13th (which is turning into an expensive day, no?) and should cost between $17 - $18! If you are a completionist that's been waiting to complete your SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT collection, order a copy of this Blu-ray set now from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, DEEP DISCOUNT, or DIABOLIK DVD!

Now Available on Blu-ray From Scream Factory: I AM FEAR and RADIOFLASH!

SCREAM FACTORY'S LATEST TITLES PROMISE TERRORISM, ANCIENT EVIL, AND SURVIVAL IN A WORLD GONE MAD!

I AM  FEAR is the latest production from Shout! Factory's production arm Shout! Studios, makers of such fine Scream fare like FENDER BENDER, ITSY BITSY, and the Soskas' RABID remake! This movie appears to be a supernatural Horror film disguised as a thriller involving a terrorist sleeper cell!

RADIOFLASH is an IFC Midnight title, that follows a father-daughter duo as they make their way to safety into the wilderness, while the rest of society tears itself apart after an electro-magnetic pulse knocks out the electricity in the Western half of the U.S.! If either of these films sound intriguing, then by all means continue onward to get the full details of both of these new Scream Factory releases!

I AM FEAR (2020)

Synopsis: Four Extremists. Two Prisoners. One Ancient Evil. Celebrity reporter Sara Brown (Kristina Klebe - HELLBOY, HALLOWEEN) is abducted by a domestic terrorist cell, led by the conflicted and enigmatic Asad (Faran Tahir - STAR TREK, IRON MAN). The cell plans to execute Sara before the entire world on July 4th: a defining act of terror too great to be ignored.

Before their plans are completed, however, secrets will be brought to light, and the true face of terror will be revealed. Co-starring William Forsythe (THE DEVIL'S REJECTS, HALLOWEEN), Eoin Macken (RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER, The Night Shift), and Bill Moseley (NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 1990, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE PART 2), this riveting thriller is a twisting and jolting journey into ever deepening levels of fear.

RADIOFLASH (2019)

But when a nuclear strike causes an electromagnetic pulse that cuts off all power, water, and communication to the entire western United States, Reese finds herself plunged into an all-too-real fight to survive.

As pandemonium grips her city, Reese and her father (Dominic Monaghan - THE LORD OF THE RINGS series) set out on a desperate journey in search of safety — a perilous trek through a world gone mad where every encounter with a stranger could be their last. Propelled by the ingenuity and resilience of its young heroine, RADIOFLASH is a harrowingly unpredictable apocalyptic thriller that speaks to our precarious present.

Rob Zombie's 3 FROM HELL is Coming to All Physical Media Formats on October 15th!

ROB ZOMBIE'S FOLLOW-UP TO "THE DEVIL'S REJECTS" ARRIVES ON DVD, BLU-RAY, AND 4K ULTRA HD DISC COURTESY OF LIONSGATE!

Hate me if you must Vault Dwellers, but I am not a Rob Zombie fan. While I did actually like THE DEVIL'S REJECTS, I was not impressed with HOUSE OF 1,000 CORPSES, or Zombie's HALLOWEEN films. Still the man must be doing something right because he's continued making films and has a pretty rabid cult following! So if you happen to enjoy the cinematic works of Rob Zombie, then you'll definitely want to add 3 FROM HELL to your collection when it arrives on all formats next Tuesday!

Synopsis: After being imprisoned for 10 years, the "Devil's Rejects" are back at it again. Otis (Bill Moseley) escapes prison and teams with his half-brother Winslow (Richard Brake), and devises a plan to get his sister Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie) out too. Once freed, the 3 FROM HELL flee South, leaving a trail of bodies in their wake. Laying low in a small hotel across the Mexican border, they are soon targeted by a bloodthirsty gang led by the son of one of their victims - All Hell is about to break loose!

This November, Mr. Jolly and His Puppet Pals Seek Vengeance in DEVIL'S JUNCTION: HANDY DANDY'S REVENGE!

BILL OBERST JR. AND BILL MOSELEY STAR IN THIS UPCOMING INDIE KILLER PUPPET FLICK!

Most movies that feature an evil ventriloquist dummy usually only have one puppet (e.g. MAGIC, MAKING CONTACT, TRILOQUIST). DEVIL'S JUNCTION: HANDY DANDY'S REVENGE, which was directed by Jeff Broadstreet (who also created the infamous NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 3D) apparently has a whole mess of 'em! This upcoming indie Horror film is being distributed by Midnight Releasing, and will get a two-night theatrical premiere in Los Angeles on October 18th and 19th, before finally coming to DVD & VOD on November 8th!

Synopsis: Returning to the abandoned Detroit television station where they once delighted a generation of children viewers, master puppeteer Mister Jolly (Bill Oberst Jr.) re-incarnates his puppet minions for a final performance, to settle an old score with Richard Crane (Bill Moseley). The rare blood moon casts an ominous glow as Mr Jolly unleashes his puppets, lead by the infamous Handy Dandy to seek his revenge!

Further complicating Richard’s dilemma is the unexpected arrival to the Studio of his son Steffen (Jake Red) and his friends. The group become entangled in the thrilling pursuit by Mr Jolly and Handy Dandy throughout the old studio building. They soon realize that they are in a new version of “Mister Jolly and the Handy Dandy Show” - where pain is the game!
