Ah, award season.  Time for all the heavy hitting dramas of ‘07 to capitalize on recent nominations and push some DVD units.  Worry not, there are several horror titles of note as well, but the month does belong to the nominees.  Hardly a bad thing, if you ask me.

2007 had some quality horror, no doubt, but it also had more than a few titles that left the, "Eh, I’ll catch it on DVD" impression.  The first month of 2008 seems to be the resting place for more than a few of those.  Fret not, however, as there is a healthy dose of non-suck […]

As the last stop before Christmas, December packs some heavy crowd pleasers.  However, the cold has driven out most horror.  Us genre lovers get a few titles spread across the weeks, but don’t expect too much.
Also, I’ve developed quite the headache while working on this list and am very jet lagged, which basically translates to […]

I’d call the DVD horror offerings of November weak, but the reason why is perfectly understandable.  October drains the wallet of heavy fans while casual goers reach their horror saturation point.  November is, justifiably, a month long horror hang over.
The genre pickings are slim, but the rest of the month has an astounding wealth of […]

Ah, October.  The month for us, right?  Well, I can tell you right now that numbers wise, there is nothing better than October.  As far as quality goes, however…  There are certainly plenty of ‘Special Editions’, ‘Collector’s Editions’ and ‘Director’s Cuts’ of great movies you’ve seen over and over and over already.  Some deserving of […]

September, for a change, has a lot of new old DVDs that are actually probably worth picking up.  There are a few classics, a few previously unreleased gems and a good mix of mainstream lovelies. 
I do apologize, though, for not having this up by the first Tuesday of the month.  But considering I feel […]

August is a horror graveyard.  Even STD activity is in remission.  The only genre releases worth any kind of note are almost entirely re-issues.  Worse yet, they are all pointless re-issues.  Mainstream releases are equally uninspiring, many of them existing on this guide solely to pad it out.
Oh well, I guess I’ll save some money […]

Is July a well known dumping ground of STD flicks and no one ever told me? It takes until the fourth of the five weeks of July to put anything good out, but when that week comes, film geek wallets everywhere should be a bit lighter.

Late isn’t the only word to describe this DVD guide.  In fact, guide really doesn’t even fit as I’m only covering 4 movies this time around.  The word I’d go with is…paltry lame.

May may actually be the worst month of the year for DVDs.  I’m not sure if the studio reasoning behind skimping on releases is the hope that nothing to buy means people will instead spend money on a theater ticket or not, but it sure seems like it.
There are only a handful of titles worth […]

Damn, what a crappy month for retail.  There are very few releases I can happily recommend, fewer still that will end up being worth going back to year after year and even fewer yet that are horror.
However, there is a landmark release this month: Planet Earth.  The best nature series ever filmed.  This DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-Ray release […]

Christ, March has a lot of DVDs coming out.  The STD front is quite packed, but this time around there are more than a few movies I readily want to check out - some I’ve actually been waiting for.  The After Dark Horror Fest releases most of November’s films the last week of March, the […]

This is the first DVD Guide I’ve done since November and I really regret that.  Not so much because I regret being lazy, but that I forget how many DVDs come out each month that I completely miss out on.  And February has some damned good movies stocking retail shelves, a few key ones being […]

Is November always such a shallow time for genre releases?  I’ve only been doing these guides for a few months so I’ve never noticed the trend before, but the amount of horror coming out this month could be counted on one hand.  And even then, the selection leaves much to be desired.

Without any need for explanation, October is almost always the best month for horror releases.  However, since the majority of flicks already have releases in some capacity or another, as the years go on October tends to see less quality releases, just a much larger quantity of special editions and double dips.  This October is […]

I’ve redone the guide this month, now including prices from Digital Eyes (a very trust worthy online retailer), as well as Netflix links for each specific disc (when available).  The new format makes it a bit lengthier, but it should get the job done.  Let me know if you prefer the old format.
September is a […]

Again, I missed the first Tuesday of the month before getting this guide up, but there are 5 Tuesdays in August, so you still have 4 more to get the jump on.  It’s a somewhat genre-lite month, but there are still a lot of very, very good releases otherwise - TV and theatrical - which […]

I apologize for not having this up before the first Tuesday of July, but I honestly just didn’t have time.  But, since I couldn’t even find a single title worth mentioning that was released on the 4th, no one missed anything.  Great how things work out.  And now, for the rest of July, which is […]

Here are all of June’s major R1 DVD releases, with links to the Amazon pages that contain all of the disc’s special features and technical aspects.  And yes, if you do buy something from clicking on the links or pictures, Amazon will show me some love, so I’d appreciate it.
Anyways, there’s actually some pretty good […]
