BLURAY TUESDAY!

April 14th 2015

Big week on horror releases this week. It's about time, right? The biggest is Shout Factory's release of one of the best horror films of last year, "The Babadook". If you preordered through the Shout Factory website you may have already received this. Scream Factory re-released Carrie (2002) and The Rage Carrie 2 (1999) and they will be on Bluray for the first time. The Woman in Black 2 also releases from 20th Century Fox. I'm looking forward to checking this one out, I liked the first one I heard this one isn't as good though. Echoes & From the Dark are new horror of 2015 i hope at least one of these is good, I will check out both regardless. Expensive week for Bluray Collectors especially on the horror front. I will say The Babadook is well worth your money and a must have!  Amazon has the special edition for only $14.99 as well as Best Buy. What will you be buying?
