DVD and Blu-ray Releases: July 19, 2016
Being the last two weeks of the month, it’s a bit slow; but we do have some nice things coming to us this week, friends.
My personal favorite would have to be the Collector’s Edition Blu-ray of The Return of the Living Dead. Even if you aren’t a fan of the “fast zombie,” this flick still stands the test of time. Also, Linnea Quigley.
Additionally, there are two Blu-ray double features (that’s 4 movies total) from the early 1960’s dropping this week. Fans of William Castle, take notice.
There are a few other entries below for you to check out as well. Pleasant viewing, friends.
