New DVDs & Blu-rays for 10/04/2016!

We're in October now Vault Dwellers and there's only 26 more days until Hall-O-Ween! Sil-ver, Sham-rock! And our favorite month is starting off strong with a slew of cool genre titles in multiple formats! Scream Factory has released their first feature film, namely FENDER BENDER! It's a pretty solid entry into the slasher sub-genre, and they've gone all out on providing cool extras, and a second version of the film on the disc, made to look like it's being played on VHS!

Kino Lorber gives us the double threat of THE EARTH DIES SCREAMING and CHOSEN SURVIVORS, and Warner Bros. has issued collectible gift sets for Stephen King's IT (comes with a cool t-shirt), THE SHINING (also comes with a t-shirt), and a GREMLINS double feature! (That comes complete with two Funko Pop figures!)

There's also a ton of TV series out on DVD and Blu-ray, plus an avalanche of indie Horror titles, so scroll on down to see them all, and continue building that insane collection you've been working on for years!

Warner Bros. Releasing a King's Ransom of Horror Just in Time for the Halloween Season!

I find it very hard to believe that physical media is dying out! Companies like Synapse, Scream Factory, Shout! Factory, Shout Select, Arrow Video, Code Red, 88 Films, and Lionsgate's newly minted Vestron Collector's Series, keep churning out high quality Horror, Cult, and Exploitation releases, boasting 2K or 4K transfers, and loads of special features! If anything, we are clearly entering a Renaissance of physical media, and I for one am embracing it!

Yes, it truly seems like everyone is cleaning out their vaults and jumping in on the action, including Warner Bros.! Just in time for our favorite holiday, WB is finally getting around to releasing a few sought after titles on DVD & Blu-ray! Most notably, they've just released three films adapted from the works of Stephen King, namely SALEM'S LOT (completely uncut!), CAT'S EYE, and STEPHEN KING'S IT!

These discs are currently available at Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Diabolik DVD, and various other stores. (But not Amazon... yet!) At roughly ten bucks apiece, it's a no-brainer to consider these titles for your personal collections!

CAT'S EYE

Film Synopsis: A wandering supernatural feline’s adventures provide the linking story for Stephen King’s CAT'S EYE, a dead-on thrillogy scripted by King and directed by Lewis Teague (CUJO).

The staff at Quitters Inc. promises to help nicotine fiend Dick Morrison (James Woods) kick the habit. Next, a luckless gambler (Robert Hays) is forced into a bet involving a stroll around a building – on the five-inch ledge encircling the 30th floor.

Finally, our wayfarer kitty rescues a schoolgirl (Drew Barrymore) from a vile, doll-sized troll! And be sure to keep an eye out for cameos by Cujo and Christine!

STEPHEN KING'S IT

Film Synopsis: IT can be anything. A fanged monster that won't stay on the movie screen. Something ominous lurking in the basement. No matter what your biggest fear is, no one knows IT better than Stephen King.

Based on the King Of Horror's 1986 bestseller, IT is a jittery, jolting excursion into personal fear. A malevolent force in a small New England town takes the shape of a clown named Pennywise (Tim Curry), but he's not clowning around!

Instead, he terrifies youngsters and brings some to their untimely doom - until some wily kids fight back. The evil resurfaces 30 years later: meaner, angrier, deadlier. And friends who vividly remember youthful terrors reunite to fight IT.

Disc Specs: 
Not Rated | Color | 187 minutes | Region A
Video - 1080p Fullscreen (1.33:1)
Audio - DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0

Extras:

• Apparently this is a bare bones release. However, you can get the "gift set" which contains a collectible Pennywise tee as pictured below!
