New Release Horror DVDs for June 2009 Friday the 13th (Extended Killer Cut) - This remake/ reimagining/ sequel to the Jason Voorhees saga has gotten very mixed reviews. For the record, I loved it and will certainly own this extended version. Blood Ties: The Complete Season One - Supernatural cop drama that has some passionate followers. I haven't seen it myself. Friday the 13th (Extended Killer Cut and Theatrical Cut + Digital Copy) [Blu-ray] - I don't normally note the DVD and the Blu-Ray of a new release (one typically will suffice) but this version has theatrical, extended and a file to download to your computer. Good stuff. The Hunger: The Complete First Season - I read a review that said that this series was "like Soft Porn Twilight Zone". Hmmmm... Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (Deluxe Edition) - Well, we all know that this wasn't the 'final chapter' of anything, but this version has some killer special features. Friday the 13th, Part 3 3D [Blu-ray] - I always forget that this was in 3-D - this is an important film in the Jason franchise, and I bet the 3-D is awesome in Blu-Ray. Friday the 13th, Part VI: Jason Lives (Deluxe Edition) - Wow, this is the 'Jason' month. I really like 'Jason Lives' because the cop gets broken in half backward... I yell out loud every time I see it. Elsewhere [Blu-ray] - This is fairly well reviewed actually, even though I've never heard of it. It would be great if one of you would submit a review and set me straight. Friday the 13th, Part 2 [Blu-ray] - Okay, Jason is getting a little annoying for June... but getting these on Blu-Ray is on my agenda for sure. Blu-Ray rocks! Silent Venom - OMG - mutant snakes. Nuff said. Retardead - We reviewed this film a long time ago - good to see that there is actually a DVD release now... bet they didn't include a quote from me on their DVD cover though... bitches. Read the review of RetarDead here. RiffTrax: Carnival of Souls - from the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000! - I don't know how I feel about this... I really like Carnival of Souls and these bozos are gonna make fun of it. Read my review of Carnival of Souls here. Razortooth - Exotic eels that can breathe air and survive on land? With teeth that will kill you? Sounds dreadful. Hide - I have never heard of this one at all... can't even figure out what it's about. Anyone? Monsturd - Okay, so... this was made by the same folks that did RetarDead above - and it is actually about a monster made of crap. Hmmm... The Legend of the Blood Castle - Film from 1972 by one of the lesser-known Spanish horror creators. RiffTrax: House on Haunted Hill - from the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000! - Now this is too much. Making fun of Vincent Price?? Say it ain't so! The Kiss - Horror comedy that is not well known but pretty highly reviewed. You be the judge. Baccano: Volume Four - Monsters and Mobsters, all in Anime. Golly. Drive-In Classics Collection - Don't know about the 'classic' part, but there will be lots of go-go girls, speed demons and swamp frolicking. Includes Speed Lovers, Swamp Girl, This Stuff'll Kill Ya, Year of the Yahoo and Two Thousand Maniacs. Puppet Master Box Set - In my humble opionion this franchise started out strong and got progressively tragic... like they all do. Here they all are. Sea Beast - Jeeze, first Jason and now 'Nature Gone Wild'. Lots of crazy critters in the June new releases. Will mankind survive?

IT'S ALIVE!" - Colin Clive as Dr. Henry Frankenstein As the expression goes, if only I had a nickel for every time I have heard the above line quoted. This line is just one of the many iconic things that came from this wonderful film.
