Horror Movie DVD new releases: August 2006

• Hellraiser III - Hell on Earth - A new packaging of an old favorite.

• Silent Hill (Widescreen Edition) - This was a great flick! Not sure why I haven't written the review yet...but I will.

• Trilogy of Terror - Three horror stories from 1975 staring Karen Black.

• Masters of Horror - Dario Argento - Jenifer - From the director of Susperia.

• I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer - No Jennifer Love Hewitt this time...

• Revenge of the Living Dead Girls - French sex and horror, known as "the most perverse film ever made". Hmmmm.

• Severed - Forest of the Dead - Loggers and environmentalists become flesh-eaters.

• The Tooth Fairy - be glad if you have dentures.

• Let's Scare Jessica to Death - Just back from the loony-bin and already, vampires! Sheesh.

• Stephen King's Desperation - Yes, Stephen King is at it again. Don't know anything about this one...

• Ghost in a Teeny Bikini - OK, this one is a musical...but I couldn't resist.

• Do You Like Hitchcock? - Dario Argentino again, this time with a tribute to the "Master of Suspense".

• The Wicker Man - This one with Christopher Lee from 1975, likely being released because of the upcoming Nick Cage film with the same name.

• Brainiac AKA El Baron Del Terror - Who can resist this title?

• Black Pit of Dr. M (aka Misterios de Ultratumba) - Another oldie...but a goodie? Don't rightly know.

• Satan's Playground - That's what they used to call my dorm in college...

• Haunted Highway - This one has a GREAT DVD cover.

• Dracula, Prisoner of Frankenstein - I LOVE this old classic from 1970.

• Savage Sinema from Down Under - This is a collection of highly controversial films...go ahead and look, I know you want to. Sicko.

New Horror Reviews

Sleepaway Camp - I had NEVER seen this one before, and then suddenly a review shows up out of the blue, from new contributor Ronnie Angel. Wow! Of course, I made the mistake of watching the sequels....

The Decent - This one has gotten a TON of hype - and I was there at a pre-screening about two weeks before it came out in the U.S. It really is great - but not as good as Alien like some other site said...

Braindead - AKA Dead Alive in the U.S. The Zombie Master Lee shares the gory beginnings of the director that would go on to create The Lord of the Rings.

The Stepford Wives - No, this isn't the one with Faith Hill. The original from the 70s is one of my all-time favorites.

Awaken the Dead - This is the FIRST written review of this indy zombie flick. Heck, it doesn't even have distribution yet! Now that's an exclusive...

Pumpkin Head - The Zombie Master again - this time with a non-undead flick that I think is a good scary one...direct from the Best-Horror-Movies.com 100 best movies list.

Top Story:

As promised when I first interviewed the director Jeff Brookshire, I made the trek out to Los Angeles to check out the first screening of the indy flick Awaken the Dead. Read all about how this Georgia cowboy horned in on the star-studded event - held at the same studio where they filmed Gone with the Wind. "Ain't fittin', ain't fittin'..."
