August 30th 2016
Our favorite day of the week returns! After last week's long list of new releases, we have a pretty light day today. Vinegar Syndrome releases 80's vampire-alien film Evils of the Night for the first time on Bluray. Evils of the Night seems like a fun film I'd definitely check out in the near future. The live action version of Disney's The Jungle Book is finally released to own on Bluray and DVD, and it's loaded with bonus features. The Jungle Book has gotten great reviews and I will for sure pick this up today. Star Wars fans can own the complete second season of Star Wars Rebels just in time to catch up before the third season starts airing. I still need to watch season one but Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Grudge) joins the voice cast for its second season. Looking forward to a marathon soon. 80's action adventure Deathstalker and its sequel are released from Shout Factory as a website exclusive in a double feature release. Last but not least Arrow the complete fourth season hits shelves today and only Best Buy will have an exclusive steelbook edition with different artwork. So what will you be buying, renting or skipping this week? Also don't forget to check out our Instagram page here, and our Facebook page here. We love the conversations and talking all things horror. Until next week!

The Jungle Book (2016): Amazon - $22.99
Directed by Jon Favreau ("Iron Man"), based on Rudyard Kipling's
timeless stories and inspired by Disney's classic animated film, "The
Jungle Book" is an all-new live-action epic adventure about Mowgli
(newcomer Neel Sethi), a man-cub who's been raised by a family of
wolves. But Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when
fearsome tiger Shere Khan (voice of Idris Elba), who bears the scars of
Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat. Urged to abandon
the only home he's ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey
of self-discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera (voice
of Ben Kingsley), and the free-spirited bear Baloo (voice of Bill
Murray). Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don't
exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa (voice of
Scarlett Johansson), a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes
the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie (voice of Christopher
Walken), who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the
elusive and deadly red flower: fire.

- King Louie's Temple: Layer by Layer – So, exactly how do you create a musical number featuring one man-cub, a massive, legendary ape and an army of wild and wily monkeys in the Seeonee jungle? Viewers are granted rare and unique access to the development of the "I Wan'na Be Like You" sequence in which King Louie attempts to coerce Mowgli into giving up Man's deadly "red flower" (fire). A fast-moving musical progression reel showcases storyboards, animatics, Christopher Walken's recording session and visual effects layers, which ultimately merge to form one of the film's most memorable scenes.
