A true bounty of goods await those who have a few extra dollars to spend on DVDs this week what with Grace, Deadgirl, and (can you believe it?) Phantasm II finally hitting the home market, An American Werewolf in London and Army of Darkness bowing on Blu-ray, and NBC's Fear Itself anthology series getting released in its entirety. And that's just the beginning!

In celebration of the release of the Deluxe Editions of Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood and Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, Paramount Home Entertainment has provided us with an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip from the extras on the Part VIII DVD.

Given the immensely rising popularity of Mixed Martial Arts, I would not be at all shocked if some enterprising filmmaker eventually devises a slasher movie based around the world of MMA. But contrary to what some of you may have heard on the Internet in the past 24 hours, no, a former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight is not the new Jason Voorhees.

Actor David Kagen has enjoyed a long and successful career over the last 30 years, spawning appearances on over 250 television series, multiple movie roles and an acting school that has been training performers for years. But even with all those credentials, there is one role that might end up being the milestone in his long career— Sheriff Garris in Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives.

With its release of the "Killer Cut" of Friday the 13th (2009) this week, Warner Brothers also provided to Dread Central a special behind-the-scenes feature including clips and cast interviews.

As an added bonus on the Friday the 13th remake's Blu-ray, users who have their players hooked up to the Net can watch a nine-minute preview of Mike Dougherty's Trick 'r Treat. Now thanks to some enterprising bootleggers and the magic of YouTube the rest of you can check it out too!

At some point in the year 2010, it will be winter. And even mass murderers need to suit up for such an occasion, as well as keep their pot neat and clean from those pesky snowflakes.

Like everybody else, I was amazed to see Platinum Dunes’ Friday the 13th remake hack its way to a $40 million opening weekend earlier this year. Audiences were ready for the triumphant return of Jason Voorhees, and box office receipts proved as much.

It's a bumper crop of DVD releases this week, but the cream is definitely the Friday the 13th blow-out and Ghostbusters on Blu-ray. Even so, there are several other interesting sounding offerings as well, so dive in and do some shopping!
