Trick ‘r Treat DVD Artwork Revealed
It’s been a hell of a long time coming, but the highly anticipated horror anthology Trick ‘r Treat will finally be unleashed on DVD this October.
From TV To DVD: Harper’s Island
I feel kinda guilty I never kept up with CBS TV’s HARPER’S ISLAND, but the only serial TV show I can fit into my busy life is LOST and only LOST. But I digress: HARPER’S ISLAND was pitched as a simple concept – a finite series where each week, another character/suspect is knocked off and the killer’s identity revealed in the final ep. I only watched the pilot before I was called to rejoin the Dharma Initiative.
Still, I was super-impressed at the pilot, which contained a gory double-death, interesting characters and chin-stroking mystery. It’s perhaps apt that Paramount are releasing the full series on DVD, those cats were responsible for APRIL FOOL’S DAY (1986), a film HARPER’S ISLAND shares a great deal of favorable similarity with: A whodunnit set on an island amongst a celebratory setting, and heavily Agatha Christie inspired.
What I missed week-to-week will surely be a treat to watch in one go, like a sprawling, epic 8-hr+ slasher saga. Disc streets on October 8th, more details as they become available – join me in repenting by picking up a copy.

Cheaper Than A Nail Gun: The Terry Lofton Interview (2005)
Movies are a collaborative medium, but if you had to place just one face to THE NAIL GUN MASSACRE (1985) – everyone’s favorite 80’s nail gun slasher film (by default!) – it’d be writer/producer/director Terry Lofton. Terry took some time during the 20th Anniversary to answer all our nitpicky questions, for which we’re grateful.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre Doubles Up
September 15 sees release of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE COLLECTION from New Line, a single disc containing both the company’s modern interpretations of Leatherface – THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACE (2003) and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING (2006). It’s double the terror and double the massacre! Unfortunately it’s not double the chainsaw. I remember playing DOOM 64 back in the 90’s where you got a chainsaw with two sawblades – now that was badass. Best. Weapon. Ever. Now, what was I talking about again?
DVD Announcement: It’s Alive (2009) & It’s Alive Collection (Trilogy)
On October 6th, First Look Home Entertainment unleash IT’S ALIVE to DVD in Unrated and Standard flavors.
A remake of the Larry Cohen 70’s classic which “spawned” two sequels, this time around a young woman (Bijou Phillips) learns that she is pregnant, so leaves graduate school to set up a home with her boyfriend in the country. The fate of the happy new family takes a gruesome turn when animals and people end up brutally dead – all with a strange connection to their newborn. Could their new child be the monster responsible for the gruesome murders? Well duh!
Directed by Josef Rusnak, whose name sounds like a foreign swear, and produced by Moshe Diamant, whose name sounds like a foreign compliment. Neat, huh?
Special Features forthcoming. FYI, Warner Bros Home Video pre-empt this release with its um, IT’S ALIVE COLLECTION on September 15th.
It’s newborn. It’s Alive (Disc 1). And murder is what it knows best! A proud couple’s bundle of joy is really a newborn terror in filmmaker Larry Cohen’s cautionary cult hit that tapped into environmental fears. The horror grows when multiple child monsters rampage in It Lives Again (Disc 2/Side A) – and as two brave parents try to stop them by becoming the bait for their spree. The now global terrors are rounded up and relocated to a far-flung island (but not for long!) in It’s Alive III: Island of the Alive (Disc 2/Side B). Will a parent’s greatest nightmare become the world’s gravest fear? Find out…if you dare.
