Bluray Tuesday!

April 26th 2016

Our favorite day of the week returns. Not many new releases this week but a few collection worthy Blurays to add to our growing collections. My must buy this week is Krampus for sure. I'm looking forward to finally owning this soon to be holiday horror classic. Read our review of it here if you missed it. This week Scream Factory releases 1992's cult classic film Death Becomes Her for the first time on Bluray and with a few new bonus features. Older catalog film Sssssss (1972) is released from Scream Factory as well for the first time on Bluray. Sssssss looks promising and may be a blind buy for me this week. Last but not least, Adrien Brody's new horror thriller Backtrack is released from Lionsgate. I haven't heard much about this one but am looking forward to checking it out soon. What will you be buying, renting or just skipping this week? Let us know in the comments. Also check out our Instagram page here.We love conversation and talking all things horror. Until next week.
