If Jason Still Scares You, You're Not Alone - Check out Scream Factory's Impressive FRIDAY THE 13TH Blu-ray Collection!

 

Side view of Scream Factory's impressive FRIDAY THE 13TH COLLECTION: DELUXE EDITION!
SCREAM FACTORY LEAPS OVER VARIOUS HURDLES TO BRING "FRIDAY THE 13TH" FANS THE COMPLETE SERIES IN ONE GORGEOUS BOXED SET!


Before I even dig into the details of this set, yes I am fully aware of the issues that some collectors have discovered about this set. If you have already purchased this collection, CLICK HERE to take advantage of Scream Factory's Blu-ray Replacement Program! You just need to pop in your name, address, phone number, and send in a picture of your proof of purchase (i.e. a receipt). Doing so will get replacement Blu-rays for FRIDAY THE 13TH 3D, JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY, and JASON X!

Also, I've heard reports of people receiving sets that are missing one of the films (usually meaning they ended up with two copies of one of the other FRIDAY THE 13TH sequels) and finding smudges, scratches, and even fingerprints on the bottom of their discs. So if you ordered a copy of this boxed set, immediately look things over to make sure all is well. If not, contact Shout! Factory customer service ASAP, and get your request for replacement discs done now so that you can get the fixed copies in November! Now, moving on....

About this Set: This Deluxe Collector's Edition collection enshrines the most successful horror series in cinema history! Watch as Jason Voorhees goes from being a last minute jump-scare in a slasher classic, to taking center-stage as the iconic hockey-masked villain that slashes his way from Crystal Lake, to Manhattan, and all the way out into outer space, before eventually returning to his home turf to battle Freddy Krueger! This boxed set is loaded with killer features - all twelve films are included on sixteen discs, and housed in a beautiful rigid slipcase!

Back in January, I threw out a prediction that this set would become a reality by November 13, 2020, and it turns out that I was just a month off! But even I couldn't BEGIN to surmise that the end result would be a sixteen-disc beast with so much restoration work, and so many hours upon hours of special features!

And sure, while we all would have liked to have seen an extended cut of PART VII: THE NEW BLOOD (that footage is likely lost for all eternity sadly), and even though there have been some issues with the final product (as stated way up top), this is a FANTASTIC release and likely the closest we'll ever get to a definitive collection! So what's the price of this monster? Depending on where you go it goes for between $130 - $160, which isn't bad considering that you get a dozen feature-length films, multiple documentaries, and two bonus discs loaded with content.

If you're ready to pull the trigger on this set, snap up a copy now (because it's probably going to be out for a limited time, much like Scream Factory's out of print HALLOWEEN COLLECTION) from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, DIABOLIK DVD, or directly from SHOUT! FACTORY. And while you wait for your set to arrive in the mail, head on over to THE B-MOVIE FILM VAULT'S FRIDAY THE 13TH ARCHIVES to read reviews, articles, and lists that all center around my absolute favorite Horror franchise!

Not All Aliens Come From Space - DEEP STAR SIX is Now Available on Blu-ray!

 

Blu-ray cover for Kino Lorber Studio Classics' Special Edition of DEEP STAR SIX!
KINO LORBER STUDIO CLASSICS GIVES SEAN CUNNINGHAM'S UNDERWATER CREATURE FEATURE AN ALL NEW SPECIAL EDITION BLU-RAY RELEASE!

The year was 1989: THE ABYSS had come out and wowed audiences, and in short order four other films attempted to capitalize on the popularity of James Cameron's aquatic sci-fi epic: LEVIATHAN, THE RIFT (aka ENDLESS DESCENT), Roger Corman's LORDS OF THE DEEP, and Sean Cunningham's DEEP STAR SIX! Long out of print in any format, this oft-forgotten sci-fi thriller arrives on Blu-ray for the first time with a collectible cardboard slipcover and a slew of special features including cast & crew interviews, two audio commentaries, and more! If you're as excited as I am for this release, then keep reading to get all the details Vault Dwellers!

Synopsis: From producer/director Sean S. Cunningham, the creator of the FRIDAY THE 13TH and HOUSE films, comes this action-packed underwater sci-fi thriller starring Taurean Blacque (Hill Street Blues), Nancy Everhard (THE PUNISHER), Greg Evigan (B.J. and the Bear), Miguel Ferrer (ROBOCOP), Matt McCoy (THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE), Nia Peeples (NORTH SHORE), Cindy Pickett (FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF), and Marius Weyers (THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY).

Far below the surface of the unforgiving sea, the daring crew of DeepStar Six are explorers in a forbidding world of impenetrable darkness and unimaginable pressure. They have invaded the icy fathoms into which no human has ever ventured. Their mission is to establish a top secret Navy base on the ocean floor. But something’s down there and the crew of DeepStar Six are about to make a startling discovery—there’s no escape from the terror of the deep. DeepStar Six will plunge you into the depths of fear… save your last breath... to scream!

Arrow Video Brings Down the HOUSE (Collection) in March!


BRING HOME THE "HOUSE" COLLECTION FROM ARROW VIDEO UK ON MARCH 27TH, OR "HOUSE: TWO STORIES" ON MARCH 21ST!

Egads! I never thought I'd see the day where fans would get complete sets of ANY Horror franchise, let alone the likes of FRIDAY THE 13TH and HALLOWEEN. And now here I am telling you about Arrow Video's upcoming HOUSE: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION, which contains ALL FOUR "HOUSE" FILMS!

HOUSE and HOUSE II: THE SECOND STORY have primarily been available in North America on DVD (originally released by Anchor Bay), and HOUSE III (aka THE HORROR SHOW) was recently brought to Blu-ray by Scream Factory! HOUSE IV has, to my knowledge, never seen a legit release since it's VHS days! So you can imagine how freakin' excited I am right now!

Btw, it's important to note that this release is Region B-locked! So if you don't have a region free player, get one before the end of March! Otherwise, Arrow Video's U.S. label is offering up a nice double feature of HOUSE and HOUSE II for those that aren't completionists! But enough chatter! Scroll down to see all the juicy details of this incredible 8-disc set (4 DVDs & 4 Blu-rays!), and be sure to pre-order it ASAP from ARROW VIDEO'S WEBSITE!

Synopsis for HOUSE (1986): In the original HOUSE, William Katt (Carrie) stars as Roger Cobb, a horror novelist struggling to pen his next bestseller. When he inherits his great aunt’s creaky old mansion, Roger decides that he might just have found the ideal place in which to get some writing done. Unfortunately, the house’s vindictive supernatural residents have other ideas…

Disc Specs:
Rated R | Color | 93 minutes | Region B/2
Video - 1080p Widescreen (1.85.1)

Plans for turning the place into a party pad are soon thwarted by the appearance of Jesse’s mummified Great Grandpa (Royal Dano), his mystical crystal skull, and a zombified cowboy named Slim Razor, who’ll stop at nothing to lay his hands on it!
