Horror New Releases for October, 2007
Grindhouse Presents, Planet Terror
- Considered by many to be the crown jewel of the Grindhouse double feature. While I agree one one level, I also feel strongly that this along with Death Proof and the other features of full Grindhouse is where the genious lies.
28 Weeks Later
- Sequel to the popular <28 Days Later. Reviews are very good on this one.
Twin Peaks - The Definitive Gold Box Edition (Seasons 1 & 2, Pilot)
- Were you a Twin Peaks fan? I never really watched it, but if you are going to then this set is the ticket.
Fox Horror Classics Collection (The Lodger / Hangover Square / The Undying Monster)
- Some great classic horror films together on one DVD.
Wrong Turn 2 - Dead End
- OKay, I admit it...I never saw Wrong Turn 1. This is a popular DVD but I can't tell you why...
2001 - A Space Odyssey [Blu-ray]
- If you are a Blu-Ray person then this is one to have...classic Sci-Fi Horror featuring the incomperable HAL.
1408
- This is one of the better horror offerings to come out in a while. check this one out.
Black Sheep
- I LOVE this movie! Zombie sheep indeed...
Poltergeist (25th Anniversary Edition)
- This is one of the best horror movies ever - if you don't already own it then now is the time.
Icons of Horror Collection - Sam Katzman
- Katzman is one of those 50s horror studs with a few good movies under his belt. There are 4 on this DVD.
Twilight Zone - The Movie
- Here's another chance to own this one, controversy and all...
Bram Stoker's Dracula (Collector's Edition)
- I don't know why there has to be so many damn "editions" of these movies out...but if you don't own this classic then you should.
Hostel - Part II
- The sequel to the popular Hostel original. Check this one out.
The Reaping
- This one has very mixed reviews, but I think it is great. I own it, and you should too...LOL
Rise - Blood Hunter
- I haven't seen this yet, but it stars Lucy Liu, and I have not seen anything she's done that I didn't like...so hopes are high.
Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane
- Okay folks, listen up...this is the best zombie movie to come out in years. If you like zombies then you will LOVE this...I think...
The Lost World
- This includes versions from 1925 and 1960...cool.
Witchfinder General
- Awesome, AWESOME Vincent Price. He's the classic to beat all...so get this one.
The Hunchback Of Notre Dame
- This is the classic from the 20s...Either buy is or find a way to watch it.
Fido
- The reviews are good for this flick about domesticating zombies. I'll be looking to The Zombie Master for his take...
Misery (Collector's Edition)
- If you don't own Misery then you should have it - one of the best horror movies of all time, even without the gore.
Bava Box Set, Vol. 2
- Mario Bava is finally starting to get the recongition he deserves - the box sets prove it.
Horror 2.0 - Reader Contributions
Horror Freaks ALL have something to say, whether it involves sharing their personal list of the best Horror Movie Heroes or writing a review of an under-served gore-fest.
In the past your choices were limited - you could submit to a website and hope for some notice or post on flame-ridden message boards. NO MORE!
Right here on Best-Horror-Movies.com you can create your own web page! Invite people to rate your submission, comment, interact!
Ask the Zombie Master
- Now you can not only ask questions about flesh-feasting freaks and receive answers from the Zombie Master Lee Roberts, but also comment back on the response and interact with others interested in the same topic.

What's that Horror Movie?
- The most common email here at BHM is one asking for the title of some forgotten movie that was viewed years ago. Sometimes I knew the answer, often not... Now, the Horror Movie Brain Trust is involved! Your question becomes a web page that is transmitted through the Internet via the Horror Movies Blog looking for that brilliant soul that knows which movie you're talking about. It works!

Comment Thread of the Month
Horror 2.0 is new, but already VERY active! Contributor Jennifer G. posted her list of
The Five Worst Horror Movies of All Time and Three that Might Surprise You
that prompted quite a bit of debate, particularly between Katelyn and CowtheSith. It could have been a vicious flame-fest, but in the end they both took the high road. I LOVE Horror Freaks!
Check out the trouble brewing
here.
The Best Halloween Costumes
If you don't have the perfect Halloween Costume yet, you are in luck! Here are a couple of the very BEST I have seen!

Okay, this one is particularly dear to my heart because I bought this one last year and it was a HUGE HIT! My picture in the "About Us" page is of me wearing this in the dark at the haunted house I ran for the neighborhood kids.

PLEASE send pics of you to BHM along with the reactions you get. You can even post to the Article Bank at BHM - that would be Gory Great!
Newest Horror Movie Reviews on BHM
Black Sheep
- Black Sheep is an insightful cinematic piece about the pain of not fitting into the family farm business. Oh, and ZOMBIE SHEEP! (Written by The Horror Czar Don Sumner)
Unholy
- Unholy, an independent film by Daryl Goldberg starring Adrienne Barbeau, had some GREAT promotion. The film, however, really really sucks. (Written by BHM Contributor Dr. Chills)
Redneck Zombies
- Redneck Zombies is great for what it is, and for what it is not. Original, gory and funny it is. High-brow cinema it certainly is not. Jump in and try some shine! (Written by The Zombie Master Lee Roberts)
Bad Dreams
- Bad Dreams is a 80s horror movie with the usual cheesy trappings, plus the unexpected. This one is original, interesting and well acted, with great effects to boot. This isnt the 80s horror I know! (Written by BHM Contributor Ronnie Angel)
Resident Evil: Extinction
- A contender for Oscar - Best Adaptation of a Video Game? Probably not. But Resident Evil: Extinction definitely leads the pack in this generally so-so zombie film trilogy. A bloody thumbs up! (Written by BHM Contributor Horror Queen)
