This Halloween, upgrade your copies of DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004) and LAND OF THE DEAD!

SCREAM FACTORY GOES ALL OUT WITH THEIR UPCOMING COLLECTOR'S EDITIONS OF "DAWN OF THE DEAD" AND LAND OF THE DEAD! 

I've always been a big fan of George A. Romero's LIVING DEAD films, so I'm pretty excited for these two releases! DAWN OF THE DEAD was an unexpected hit, and far better than anyone expected. (I give most of that credit to James Gunn!) LAND OF THE DEAD, while a far cry from the entries that came before it, is still a fun and engaging zombie flick with Romero's brand of societal commentary. I look forward to double-dipping on these two titles!

DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004)

Synopsis: Heart-pounding action and bone-chilling thrills power this edgy and frightening remake of George A. Romero's apocalyptic horror classic, DAWN OF THE DEAD! From visionary filmmaker Zack Snyder (300, WATCHMEN), this pulse-pounding jolt-a-thon stars Ving Rhames (GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, VOL. 2), Sarah Polley (SPLICE), Jake Weber (WENDIGO), Mekhi Phifer (DIVERGENT), and Ty Burrell (Modern Family).

The world is in danger when a mysterious virus turns people into mindless, flesh-eating zombies. In a mall in the heartland, a handful of survivors wage a desperate, last-stand battle to stay alive and maintain their humanity!

LAND OF THE DEAD (2005)

Synopsis: Legendary filmmaker George A. Romero returns to unleash another chapter in his zombie series! In this new tale of terror, Romero creates a harrowing vision of a modern-day world where the walking dead roam a vast uninhabited wasteland and the living try to lead "normal" lives behind the high walls of a fortified city. A new society has been built by a hand of ruthless opportunists, who live in luxury in the towers of a skyscraper, high above the less fortunate citizens who must eke out a hard life on the streets below.

With the survival of the city at stake, a group of mercenaries is called into action to protect the living from the evolving army of the dead waiting outside the city walls. LAND OF THE DEAD features a cast of great actors including Dennis Hopper (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE PART 2), Simon Baker, Asia Argento, Robert Joy and John Leguizamo.

James Gunn's GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 now available on all formats!

JAMES GUNN'S HIT SEQUEL PROVIDES AN AWESOME MIX OF ACTION, HUMOR, AND MUSIC! GET IT TODAY ON DVD, BLU-RAY, OR 4K UHD!

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 was (thus far) my favorite film of 2017! It's funny, has some great action sequences and effects, and so many surprisingly heartfelt moments. It's a big step up from the previous installment, and I for one cannot wait to see Marvel's Cosmic Cinematic Universe expand to include more characters! (Also, more James Gunn films please!)

I should also note that this release is the first title that Disney has released on 4K! So it looks like James Gunn's got even more bragging rights now!

Synopsis: Set to the all-new sonic backdrop of Awesome Mixtape #2, the film's storyline continues the team's adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians (Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax, Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot, and Bradley Cooper as Rocket) must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mystery of Peter Quill's true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes' aid as the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand!

James Gunn's SLITHER: Now available on Collector's Edition Blu-ray from Scream Factory!

JAMES GUNN'S ALIEN INVASION/BODY HORROR CULT FAVE SLITHERS ONTO BLU-RAY THANKS TO SCREAM FACTORY!

I adored SLITHER when it hit theaters back in 2006, and was saddened to see it flop. (That's what happens when the studio has no idea how to promote your film. See also NIGHTBREED.)

So you can imagine the sheer joy I experienced when I found out that Gunn's film had garnered enough of a cult following to become part of Scream Factory's lineup! Now SLITHER finally has received the love it to richly deserves!

Synopsis: From the co-writer and director of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 1 & 2 and SUPER, comes the deliciously demented story of an unnamed evil wreaking havoc on a small town. Intent on devouring all life on Earth, this dark and slimy entity is infecting anyone in its path. Now it's up to the local sheriff, Bill Pardy (Nathan Fillion, Firefly, SERENITY), and his team to stop the spread of rampant devastation – and shocking mutilation – before it's too late!

This outrageously funny horror film also stars Michael Rooker (Yondu in both GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY films, The Walking Dead), Elizabeth Banks (THE HUNGER GAMES, PITCH PERFECT) and Gregg Henry (BODY DOUBLE, JASON BOURNE).

Disc Specs:
Rated R | Color | 96 minutes | Region A
Video - 1080p Widescreen (1.85:1)
Audio - DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 & 2.0

Extras:

• NEW! Audio Commentary With Writer/Director James Gunn and Actors Nathan Fillion, and Michael Rooker!
• NEW! The Genesis Of SLITHER – An Interview With Writer/Director James Gunn.
• NEW! The Other MacReady – An Interview With Actor Gregg Henry.
• Audio Commentary With James Gunn And Nathan Fillion (From 2006)
• Deleted And Extended Scenes With Optional Commentary By James Gunn

• Lloyd Kaufman's Video Diary
• Gag Reel

• Theatrical Trailer

Scream Factory's new Collector's Edition of SLITHER is definitely a must-own in my book, and is probably the most comprehensive release of this film we'll ever get. You can buy it right now from AMAZON, BULLMOOSE, DIABOLIK DVD, or directly from SHOUT! FACTORY.
