I'm still very unsure about going for the new fox Night Of The Living Dead.
The Elite Millenium edition is quite loaded and great picture to add,
but the whole colorization thing with this new one...... why?

The Mike Nelson commentary sounds like fun, but I'll wait for a review.

Finally the excellent 1968 Tony Curtis/Henry Fonda thriller The Boston Strangler comes to DVD! Director Richard Fleischer's use of split screen is worthy of study. Long overdue but very welcome!

Some nice titles there fo sure, but they still haven't released two of their best horror films; THE INNOCENTS and THE ENTITY.

I thought Universal had the rights to Basket Case: The Progeny, but who knows..

How weird. I've actually seen the colorized version and it's pretty silly. I'd be more interested in a Joel Hodgson audio commentary myself but Mike may have some funny things to say. Maybe a rental?

Always wanted to see the colorized version for kicks. Get drunk and kick back to flesh eating action.
