STOCK YOUR VAULT: New DVDs & Blu-rays for 05/19/2020!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Welcome to yet another edition of STOCK YOUR VAULT gang! This week's release slate is pretty light (Next week? Not so much.), but as is always the case, there are some titles you may want to add to your ever-growing personal movie collections!

I believe TOP GUN: MAVERICK was initially coming to theaters this week or next, which is why today we get THREE Tom Cruise flicks on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray: TOP GUN, DAYS OF THUNDER, and 2005's WAR OF THE WORLDS remake! Speaking of 4K, THE BLUES BROTHERS just debuted on the format today as well!

Shout! Factory has a couple of new titles out today including Mario Bava's DANGER: DIABOLIK and a new animated feature called PROMARE (which is available in standard and Limited Steelbook editions), Scorpion Releasing gives us the obscure 80s comedy PRETTY SMART on both DVD & Blu-ray, and MANDY's Steelbook release (wish has been pushed back for weeks) is finally here!

BRAHMS: THE BOY II and the new live-action SONIC THE HEDGEHOG arrived on DVD & Blu-ray today, and Kino Lorber Studio Classics just dropped a bunch of new titles, including LONELY ARE THE BRAVE, 1933's ALICE IN WONDERLAND, THE PINK PANTHER CLASSIC CARTOON COLLECTION, THE NIGHT MY NUMBER CAME UP, and THE LONG AND THE SHORT AND THE TALL (aka JUNGLE FIGHTERS). But as impressive as that is, it is Scream Factory that wins out this week!

Scream's Collector's Edition Blu-ray of THE EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN is now available and it is a beautiful release! The film has received a new 4K transfer so it should look better than the previous Universal release, plus the disc is loaded with bonus features, including the TV edit of film, a new audio commentary, new cast & crew interviews, gorgeous cover art by artist Mark Maddox, and MORE!

There are still other releases I haven't given shout-outs too this week, so be sure to scroll down to see the full roster of new DVDs, Blu-rays, and 4K Ultra HD discs Vault Dwellers!

Scream Factory Reveals THE EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN on May 19th!

THE HAMMER HORROR CLASSIC GETS A COLLECTOR'S EDITION BLU-RAY FROM SCREAM FACTORY WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS!

I own Universal's 8-Film Hammer Horror Collection, and one of my personal favorites in the set is THE EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN! When Scream Factory announced that they were adding it to their prodigious catalog, I was pretty certain I didn't want/need to upgrade.

And then I read all the information about this release and I instantly changed my mind, because Scream Factory's new Collector's Edition contains a new 4K scan, and a bounty of bonus features! If you're a Hammer Horror fan, and want the absolute best release of THE EVIL OF DRACULA, then you need to order a copy of this disc ASAP!

Synopsis: Frozen in ice, can the creature be brought back to live again?! Horror great Peter Cushing stars in this fantastic tale as the monster's creator, Baron von Frankenstein, determined to bring the creature back to life. Long thought destroyed, Dr. Frankenstein's creation is discovered frozen alive and resurrected in his laboratory. Unfortunately, the creature's mind is dormant and, much to the Baron's horror, he finds that only a hypnotist named Zoltan (Peter Woodthorpe) can order the creature to do his unfathomable bidding now!
