S&Man

This week's roundup of DVD releases include fan favorites from TV, a scarred comic book antihero, the next installment of The Lost Boys, the requisite creature features, a Roger Corman set, and SyFy's apocalyptic view of the world.

Finally after years on the shelf JT Petty's ultra-creepy S&Man (review here) is getting itself a DVD and Blu-ray release on October 12th courtesy of Magnet Home Entertainment.

Looking for the perfect movie to take your parents and kids to after indulging in a bit of Thanksgiving turkey? Well, JT Petty's horror documentary S&MAN is probably not it, but if live in or around Brooklyn, NY and can tear yourself away from your filial obligations, you owe it to yourself to check out the film's screening on Sunday, November 29th.

I’ve been waiting since last August for this moment: the first lineup news for this year’s Fantasia Film Festival! Fangoria, of course, got the word (editor Tony Timpone helps pick the movies), and here are just some of the 140 features and 200 shorts that will play between July 5th and July 23rd: Hatchet Sprial Perfect Creature The Tripper

Though it’s been in place for a while, the Toronto International Film Festival gets rolling on September 7th, and I thought that now would be the perfect time to remind all you lucky bastards who are going, as well as those unlucky among us who are not, about their lineup for Midnight Madness. This year the genre-centered portion of the show has got some fantastic titles showing up including: Bong Joon-ho’s highly anticipated monster romp The Host (September 8th)

Starring J.T. Petty, Fred Vogel, Bill Zebub, Dr. Richard Krueger, Meg Kaplan, Professor Carol J. Clover, Eric Rost Directed by J.T. Petty
