BEWARE! THE BLOB (1972)
Newly Re-mastered in HD!
Blu-ray and DVD Street Date: September 20, 2016
Director: Larry Hagman
Starring: Robert Walker, Jr., Gywnne Gilford, Godfrey Cambridge, Carol Lynley, Dick Van Patten, Larry Hagman, Gerrit Graham, Shelley Berman, Del Close, Cindy Williams, Sid Haig, Burgess Meredith
Synopsis:
The Blob returns… more outrageous than ever in this 1972 sequel to the popular sci-fi classic! Plenty of familiar faces, including Robert Walker, Jr. (Ensign Pulver), Larry Hagman (“Dallas”), Sid Haig (Busting), Burgess Meredith (Rocky), Dick Van Patten (“Eight Is Enough”), Godfrey Cambridge (Cotton Comes to Harlem), Cindy Williams (“Laverne & Shirley”), Carole Lynley (The Poseidon Adventure), Gerrit Graham (Used Cars), and Shelley Berman (You Don’t Mess with the Zohan) add to the fun.
A geologist (Cambridge) unwittingly brings home an unusual frozen piece of debris from the North Pole. But when it accidentally thaws, the hungrier-than-ever Blob comes to life again, consuming nearly everyone in its path and terrorizing the town. No one is safe as it crawls into a bowling alley, oozes its way across an ice rink, becoming grotesquely bloated with the blood of its victims… can this bizarre creature ever be stopped? TV legend Larry Hagman directed this cult classic, the only feature film he ever directed – upon its 1980s re-release, the film was tagged “The Film that J.R. Shot!”.
Special Features:
- Audio Commentary by Film Historian Richard Harland Smith
- Alternate Title Sequence
HAUNTED HONEYMOON (1986)
Newly Restored in HD!
Blu-ray and DVD Street Date: September 27, 2016
Director: Gene Wilder
Starring: Gene Wilder, Gilda Radner, Dom DeLuise, Jonathan Pryce, Paul L. Smith, Peter Vaughn, Jim Carter
Synopsis:
What do you get when you combine three of Hollywood’s most hysterical talents with a creaky old castle and a werewolf legend? An amiable, kinky blend of hijinks and horror that’ll leave you howling with laughter! Gene Wilder (Young Frankenstein), Gilda Radner (Hanky Panky), and Dom DeLuise (Silent Movie) star in this ingenious, amusing horror comedy that’ll put a smile on your face – and keep it there.
At the mansion of his great aunt Kate (DeLuise), Larry (Wilder) is undergoing a psychological procedure designed to rid him of his irrational phobias… by frightening them right out of him! But the jolts and frights may turn out to be the least of his problems when Kate names him her sole heir. Suddenly, the entire family seems a little too vigorous in participating in his therapy – leading Larry to believe that one of his jealous kin may be murderous… and that another may be a werewolf. The film’s star Gene Wilder (The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother) co-wrote and directed this hilarious comedy… featuring great performances by Jonathan Pryce (Brazil), Peter Vaughn (Straw Dogs), Paul L. Smith (Midnight Express), and Jim Carter (“Downton Abbey”).
