The Obsession... The Nightmare... IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE WOODS TONIGHT... Described by critic Mark Kermode as an "extraordinary filmmaker" and "one of the UK's most imaginative talents", visionary British director Philip Ridley followed his sensational debut The Reflecting Skin with another surreal incursion into the dark heart of the 'American dream' in The Passion of Darkly Noon. Darkly Noon (Brendan Fraser) is the sole survivor of a military-style attack on an isolated religious community. Stumbling through a forest in a daze, he is rescued by the free-spirited and enigmatic Callie (Ashley Judd). Darkly finds himself feeling strange new desires for Callie as she nurses him back to health... only to watch her jump into the arms of her returning mute lover Clay (Viggo Mortensen). Lost in the woods with only his fundamentalist upbringing to make sense of his unrequited passions, Darkly soon descends into an explosive and lethal rage. Now available for the first time worldwide on Blu-ray™, Ridley's talent for spellbinding, hallucinogenic dream imagery is on full display in a glittering new transfer of his most formally inventive and electrifying film. The mesmerising soundtrack includes two songs co-written by Ridley for the film, "Look What You've Done (To My Skin)" performed by Gavin Friday and "Who Will Love Me Now?" performed by PJ Harvey.

Verotika is a creepy, surreal and bloody horror anthology told in three chilling tales culled from rock legend Glenn Danzig's long-running edgy comic imprint of the same name. The first segment tells the story of a woman with eyeballs for nipples who conjures a giant, murderous albino man-spider every time she falls asleep. In the second story, a disfigured dancer collects other women's faces. The third and final segment is a take on the Elizabeth Bathory legend, about a countess who bathes in the blood of virgins in order to remain youthful. Presented by a mysterious woman named Morella (Kayden Kross) and inspired by classic horror cinematic anthologies such as "Trilogy of Terror" and Mario Bava's "Black Sabbath", Glenn Danzig's Verotika tells three shocking tales, each one more horrific than the last! Three disc set includes a Blu-ray, a DVD, PLUS A BONUS CD Soundtrack including the following tracks: Danzig - Eyes Ripping Fire Ministry - Dancing Madly Backwards on a Sea of Air Jyrki 69 - Close Your Eyes Vile a Sin - Crimson Lust Fantôme - Je Suis a Toi Pink Velvet - Allez Prenons Un Autre Verre Kore Rozzik - Can't Stop Won't Stop Switchblade Symphony - Gutter Glitter Vile a Sin - The Return Studio 69 - Il Est Juste la “Verotika” Blu-Ray/DVD Combo – https://mvdshop.com/products/verotika-blu-ray-dvd "Point Doom" Blu-Ray Review (Dark Force Entertainment) The Point Where Destiny and Revenge Meet Richard Grieco (21 Jump Street) stars as Rick Hansen, a double-crossing drug dealer in a dangerous relationship.

The brilliant screenplay makes [the] journey fun, heart-warming and sad." – Tales Of Terror Frankenstein builds the perfect woman — and lives to regret it — in this tantalizing marriage of horror, romance, and unbridled passion! Rock legend Sting plays the cunning scientist and Jennifer Beals (Flashdance, The L Word) lends her dramatic presence as his supreme, sublime creation. This sumptuously gothic tale, inspired by the indelible themes and characters originally brought to life by Mary Shelley, follows Frankenstein's creations as they search for their place in the world — the gorgeous Eva by declaring her independence, and her grotesque intended mate Viktor (Clancy Brown, Highlander) by learning self-worth from a compassionate circus dwarf (David Rappaport, Time Bandits). Can Dr. Frankenstein survive when the monster returns to claim his intended? Alive with brilliant photography and lavish costumes. The Bride invites you to a wedding night you'll never forget.

Herald Examiner)! On his first day on the job at a medical supply warehouse, poor Freddy (Thom Mathews) unwittingly releases toxic gas from a secret U.S. military canister, unleashing an unbelievable terror. The gas reanimates an army of corpses, who arise from their graves with a ravenous hunger... for human brains! And luckily for those carnivorous cadavers, there is a group of partying teens nearby, just waiting to be eaten! Why We Love It “The marketing campaign beautifully played up the picture as a punk-centric blast of nihilist horror with a wicked sense of humor, and that’s exactly what writer-director Dan O’Bannon delivered… This collector’s edition for ROTLD by Shout! Factory is definitely one fans should own.” – Blood, Violence, & Babes “'Return of the Living Dead' is one of the best zombie features balancing a perfect mix of comedy and horror. With Dan O'Bannon's rewrites and direction, the movie pays tribute to Romero's 'Dead' films for starting the genre craze, but suddenly leaps forward to do its own thing as a wild and crazy gorefest. The Blu-ray from Scream Factory arrives with improved picture quality and an even better audio presentation that was made from the original recording. Offering new, recently-recorded set of supplemental material, this high-def package is definitely one hardcore fanatics and completists will want it for their collection.” – M. Enois Duarte, High-Def Digest “The Return of the Living Dead is a funny and goofy "take" on the zombie genre, and it's notable that it actually helped foster certain genre tropes that are now considered "canon". There's no doubt that this Scream Factory release tops the MGM in video quality, and there's simply no competition when it comes to supplemental features, always one of the hallmarks of this imprint's Collector's Editions. Highly recommended.” – Jeffrey Kauffman, Blu-ray.com “Even if you've already ponied up for The Return of the Living Dead on Blu-ray, this is such an essential upgrade, with many hours of extras never before available on this side of the pond, a vastly improved presentation, and a near-perfect restoration of the original soundtrack. DVD Talk Collector Series.” – Adam Tyner, DVD Talk “The bottom line is that this is the definitive home video release of The Return of the Living Dead now.” – J Hurtado, Screen Anarchy “I feel like I’m always saying this about Scream Factory releases, but the care shown to the 2K scan of the film, and the sheer number of extras packed in to the two-disc set, are simply breathtaking… It’s truly hours of content, and it will certainly make you reassess the movie as I did, or appreciate it further.” – Kyle Anderson, Nerdist Bonus Features --- DISC 1 --- NEW 2K Scan Of The Interpositive NEW Audio Commentary With Gary Smart (Co-author Of The Complete History Of The Return Of The Living Dead) And Chris Griffiths NEW Audio Commentary With Actors Thom Mathews, John Philbin And Make-up Effects Artist Tony Gardner Audio Commentary With Director Dan O'Bannon And Production Designer William Stout Audio Commentary With The Cast And Crew Featuring Production Designer William Stout And Actors Don Calfa, Linnea Quigley, Brian Peck, Beverly Randolph, Allan Trautman The Decade Of Darkness – Featurette On '80s Horror Films (23 minutes) Theatrical Trailers TV Spots Still Gallery – Posters, Lobby Cards, Movie Stills And Behind-The-Scenes Photos Still Gallery – Behind-The-Scenes Photos From Special Make-up Effects Artist Kenny Myers' Personal Collection Zombie Subtitles For The Film In Their Own Words – The Zombies Speak --- DISC 2 --- NEW The FX Of The Living Dead With Production Designer William Stout, FX Make-up Artists William Munns, Tony Gardner, Kenny Myers And Craig Caton-Largnet, Visual Effects Artists Bret Mixon And Gene Warren Jr. And Actor Brian Peck (Expanded Version) NEW Party Time: The Music Of The Return Of The Living Dead With Music Consultants Budd Carr And Steve Pross And Soundtrack Artists Plus Musicians (Expanded Version) NEW HORROR'S HALLOWED GROUNDS – Revisiting The Locations Of The Film The Return Of The Living Dead Workprint – Includes 20 minutes Of Additional Footage (In Standard Definition) More Brains: A Return To The Living Dead – The Definitive Documentary On The Return Of The Living Dead (120 minutes) A Conversation With Dan O'Bannon – His Final Interview (28 minutes) The Origins Of The Living Dead – An Interview With John A.

But Johnny Alucard has a groovy new way for his pals to get their kicks. A certain ritual will be the living end, he insists. And if you still wonder where Johnny's coming from, try spelling his last name backwards. Dracula is raised into the modern era in this Hammer Studios shocker that's "quite well done" (John Stanley, Creature Features). Christopher Lee dons the cape for the sixth time and seeks out fresh victims. As archnemesis Van Helsing, fellow horror legend Peter Cushing clutches a vial of holy water and edges within throwing distance. Their harrowing battle royale is not to be missed. In fact, it's the living end.
