New Christmas-Themed Horror Anthology HOLIDAY HELL is Now Streaming on Tubi TV!

THIS NEW INDIE HORROR ANTHOLOGY FROM UNCORK'D ENTERTAINMENT PROVES THAT THE HOLIDAYS CAN TRULY BE HELL!

Holiday-themed horror anthologies seem to have grown in popularity in recent years: We've gotten Michael Dougherty's TRICK R' TREAT, 10/31, HOLIDAYS, TALES OF HALLOWEEN, and A CHRISTMAS HORROR STORY. And now we can add HOLIDAY HELL to that ever-growing list!

I've always been a big fan of Horror anthologies - the better ones give you at least two or three really good segments, and make you feel like you're getting more bang for your buck! So naturally I'm totally down for watching HOLIDAY HELL, which is currently making appearances at select theaters across the U.S. (As of my posting this, it will be playing November 1st - 7th at The Grand Illusion Cinema in Seattle, Washington!) But if seeing it on the big screen isn't a priority, you can in fact watch it for FREE over at TUBI TV right this very minute! If you're on the fence about giving HOLIDAY HELL a look, check out the synopsis, stills, and trailer below to see if this holiday-themed anthology is right for you!

Synopsis: On Christmas Eve, a woman enters a curiosity shop looking for a last-minute gift. There, she meets a mysterious shopkeeper who tells her the horrific stories behind four objects in the shop. As he weaves tales of killer dolls, witches, and psycho Santas, the woman senses she might be in danger. She has until midnight to choose her gift, but will she choose wisely?

Starring horror icon Jeffrey Combs (RE-ANIMATOR, FROM BEYOND), Joel Murray (HATCHET), Jeff Bryan Davis (KILLER PAD), Lisa Coronado (Twin Peaks), and Meagan Karimi-Naser (DEAD WEST), the frighteningly-festive horror anthology features segments directed by Jeff Ferrell (GHOSTLIGHT), Jeremy Berg (THE INVOKING), Jeff Vigil, and David Burns!

Once again, HOLIDAY HELL is playing theatrically in select theaters throughout November, and is available to watch on TUBI for absolutely free! However, if you'd prefer to own a copy, you can get the digital and DVD release of HOLIDAY HELL on November 5th!

Scream Factory's New Blu-rays of HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL and TRICK R' TREAT are to Die For!

A SHOCKINGLY DECENT REMAKE AND ONE OF THE BEST HORROR ANTHOLOGIES OF ALL TIME GET MUST-OWN COLLECTOR'S EDITION RELEASES ON OCTOBER 9TH!

I recall seeing HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL when it made its theatrical debut back in 1999 and, aside from the weak ending, I really dug it. It has a great cast (though Jeffrey Combs is definitely underutilized), some truly creepy moments, and has cemented itself as one of the better modern horror remakes.

After being shelved for years by Warner Bros., TRICK R' TREAT eventually came out and instantly found an audience. The film has built up a large cult following, and many put it in their regular horror movie rotation every October! And now both films have gotten the royal treatment from Scream Factory, with new 2K transfers and a multitude of special features!

HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1999)

Synopsis: One night in the house, one million bucks, no questions asked. But there is a catch for anyone who accepts the offer. Murder is a way of life at the HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL, a jolting, effects-ramped remake of the 1959 cult classic that starred Vincent Price and was directed by screen horror legend William Castle.

Geoffrey Rush plays twisted theme park bigshot Stephen Price, who's hosting a scary/jokey birthday bash for his wife (Famke Janssen) at an abandoned institute for the criminally insane. Taye Diggs, Ali Larter, Bridgette Wilson, Peter Gallagher and Chris Kattan portray strangers mysteriously assembled for the event that could make them all very rich. Or profoundly dead. And you? We wouldn't start the party without you.

TRICK 'R TREAT (2007)

Synopsis: A creepy, darkly comic celebration of the scariest night of the year from writer-director Michael Dougherty (KRAMPUS, next year's GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS), TRICK R' TREAT takes the CREEPSHOW/TALES FROM THE CRYPT approach to nefarious new depths with four interwoven tales set on Halloween night.

A high school principal (Dylan Baker) moonlights as a vicious serial killer; the quest of a young virgin (Anna Paquin) for that special someone takes a gruesome turn; a group of teens carries out a cruel prank with disastrous consequences; and a cantankerous old man (Brian Cox) battles a mischievous trick-or-treating demon.

Arrow Films delivers the definitive release for Stuart Gordon's RE-ANIMATOR on 08/08!

ARROW VIDEO HAS A GOOD HEAD ON THEIR SHOULDERS… AND ANOTHER ONE ON THEIR DESK! GET THEIR LIMITED EDITION RE-ANIMATOR BLU-RAY ON 08/08!

Stuart Gordon's RE-ANIMATOR is one of my all-time favorite Horror films (and H.P. Lovecraft adaptations)! The script is smart and witty, and the cast is fantastic, with Jeffrey Combs stealing the show as Dr. Herbert West. I've already purchased this movie several times in various formats, but it looks like I'll have to double dip once again because this Arrow release looks incredible!

Synopsis: When medical student Dean Cain (Bruce Abbott) advertises for a roommate, he soon finds one in the form of Dr. Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs). Initially a little eccentric, it some becomes clear that West entertains some seriously outlandish theories – specifically, the possibility of re-animating the dead. It’s not long before Dean finds himself under West’s influence, and embroiled in a serious of ghoulish experiments which threaten to go wildly out of control…

Based on H.P. Lovecraft’s classic terror tale ‘Herbert West – Reanimator’ and featuring a standout performance from Jeffrey Combs as the deliciously deranged West, Re-Animator remains the ground-zero of ’80s splatter mayhem and one of the genre’s finest hours.
