Greetings Vault Dwellers! This second week of September 2019 has a pretty small lineup of new titles on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra HD disc. But as is typically the case, there's plenty of good stuff that you'll most definitely want to add to your growing collections!
For those of you who have begun adding 4K discs to your shelves, you have a good mix to choose from today, including CASINO, LOCK UP, DAYBREAKERS, Edgar Wright's "Cornetto Trilogy" (i.e. SHAUN OF THE DEAD, HOT FUZZ, THE WORLD'S END), and the JURASSIC WORLD: 5-MOVIE COLLECTION!
But my favorite batch of new titles this week comes from Scream Factory, who has been raiding Warner's vaults and releasing tons of British fright flicks to Blu-ray! Speaking of which, they just put out new Blus for BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB, CIRCUS OF HORRORS, and SCARS OF DRACULA! In particular, Hammer's Mummy film gets a lot of love with new interviews, a new audio commentary, and you can watch it in two different aspect ratios!
There's plenty of other stuff out this week, so be sure to scroll down to view the full roster of new DVDs, Blu-rays, and 4K UHDs!

SCREAM FACTORY'S UPCOMING BLU-RAYS OFFER UP EGYPTIAN CURSES, MAD SURGEONS, AND A FANGED CHRISTOPHER LEE!
2019 has been a damned good year for Scream Factory, who has continued to build one of the largest physical media catalogs I've ever seen. (It reminds me of MGM back in their Midnite Movies days!) And now they've added three more classic films to their vaults, with the release of Hammer's BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB and SCARS OF DRACULA, and the final entry in the "Sadian Trilogy," namely CIRCUS OF HORRORS! Both Hammer titles fare the best and come complete with new audio commentaries and two different aspect ratios! Let's take a closer look before pre-ordering these Vault Dwellers, shall we?
BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB (1971)
Synopsis: A British expedition in Egypt discovers the ancient sealed tomb of the evil Queen Tera. But when one of the archaeologists steals a mysterious ring from the corpse's severed hand, he unleashes a relentless curse upon his beautiful daughter. Is the voluptuous young woman now a reincarnation of the diabolical sorceress... or has the curse of the mummy returned to reveal its horrific revenge?
Andrew Keir (QUATERMASS AND THE PIT) and the beautiful Valerie Leon (THE SPY WHO LOVED ME) star in this supernatural shocker based on Bram Stoker's classic novel The Jewel Of The Seven Stars.

CIRCUS OF HORRORS (1960)
Synopsis: A deranged plastic surgeon (Anton Diffring) takes over a traveling circus, then transforms horribly disfigured young women into ravishing beauties and coerces them to perform in his three-ring extravaganza. But when the re-sculpted lovelies try to escape the clutches of the obsessed doctor, they begin to meet with sudden and horrific "accidents." Now the trapeze is swinging, the knives are flying, the wild animals are loose – and "The Grisliest Show on Earth" is about to begin!

SCARS OF DRACULA (1970)
Synopsis: The legendary Christopher Lee is back as Dracula, bringing unspeakable horrors upon a local village that defies his evil reign. But when a young man and his luscious girlfriend unwittingly visit the Count's castle, they find themselves trapped in a face-to-face frenzy of bloodthirsty vixens, religious blasphemy and sadistic henchmen. The Prince of Darkness has returned like never before, but will his horrific mark remain forever?
