New Blu-ray/DVD Releases

[Monsters For Sale]

Gremlins, 1984 - 4K & BLU-Ray - Warner Brothers - Scheduled Release Date:  October 1, 2019


Last week was the 35th Anniversary of Gremlins' release (June 8th).

Too early for Extras info.


If you don't already have a BLU-Ray copy of Gremlins, you might want to wait until October 1 and get a 4K copy as well.  May as well have the next generation version on hand, even if you don't have a 4K TV and player - yet.

The price of 4K and BLU-Ray combos are getting down to old BLU-Ray and DVD combo levels.

Might as well wait for the 8K version (just a couple of years away). I'm so sick of "upgrading" everything. I still marvel over the innovation of flip- books.

Just saying, If you don't already have it on Blu-Ray...

Why buy a BLU/DVD set and be stuck with a DVD?  Buy a 4K/BLU set for the same price and be ready for the next phase.

I already have a 4K Smart TV, but never bought a 4K player because they used to be much more expensive and there was little 4K product out there.  Since I don't have a copy of Gremlins in any form, thought I pick this one up.  The pre-order price has already dropped to $26.  I'm sure it will go lower.

 I'm not critical of you, Adam, just the system. Sure, if you don't already own it, that's the best option. Btw, do 4K players play blurays and dvds, too?

I think so.  They usually engineer stuff not to exclude older tech.  People would be reluctant to buy otherwise.

Imagine if they made Blu-Ray players that rejected DVD's or stereo record players that couldn't handle mono.

I hope there is a Vol. 3...  But I also hope they go back to heaping on the Extras.

Why they didn't include "Man Made Monster" (or one of several others), instead of "The Mad Ghoul" and have an all Atwill set, is beyond me.

Of all the Joe Dante films. Gremlins is the lamest film. Gosh darn it! Wow! Another release for Gremlins. Well, fans of the film will eat-that-s***-up.

Kevin Dillon and Shawnee Smith.

Shout will be including a limited edition poster for early buyers who purchase directly from them.

An unnecessary remake of the Steve McQueen classic  -  But an OK movie in its own right.

[Mike Scott]

I don't need an OMEN collection, as I really only like the first movie. Second movie has a great soundtrack album, though.

Human Monster, The, 1939 - Blu-Ray - VCI - Scheduled Release Date:  October 29, 2019

Bela Lugosi, Hugh Williams, Greta Gynt, Edmon Ryan and Eilfred Walter.


An adaptation of Edgar Wallace's terror-thriller-mystery THE DARK EYES OF LONDON. A series of 'drownings' have Scotland Yard baffled. One common denominator; the dead men were heavily insured through a particular brokerage firm...and all the policies were paid off.

Although this title is currently listed for pre-order on Amazon, they have no cover art available - and nothing at all appears on VCI's site.


Amazon lists the following extras:

          Commentary by film historian David del Valle and author, screenwriter and monster kid, Phoef Sutton
          Commentary Track by noted film historian, author and Bela Lugosi expert, Gary Don Rhodes
          Archival Video 'Intimate Interview with Bela Lugosi'
          Liner Notes written by film historian Patrick McCabe
          Original U.S. Re-issue Theatrical Trailer
          Extensive Poster and Photo Gallery
