While the older members of this audience are recuperating from the effects of Daylight Savings Time and the younger members are still reveling in the extra hour of sleep they got on Sunday morning, we’ve got 18 releases dropping this week for everyone, old and young. We only have one discrepancy of our 18 listings this week. Blood Factory may have previously had a release in December of 2015, but is also showing up this week under the same barcode. Hopefully you get a copy if that’s what you’re looking for.
Don Coscarelli’s Bubba Ho-tep will be coming to Blu-ray this week. This should come as good news to people who need a fairly regular Bruce Campbell fix.
We also have a small handful of classics coming at us from (my favorite decade) the 1980s, including Dead Silence and The Initiation.
Pleasant viewing, fiends.

Outdoor enthusiasts hiking the Bruce Trail in Ancaster, Ontario often find themselves at the remains of a once great mansion. Known as the Hermitage Ruins, visitors encounter two very different spirits on a regular basis. The first is a coachman who hung himself on the property and still carries the severed noose around his neck. The second apparition is a woman who once owned the mansion and loved it so much that she refused to leave even after it burned down. The Espirit is Montreal’s hottest nightclub. While it has had many names over the years, one thing has remained constant – it’s ghostly apparitions. During the latest renovations, many workers witnessed a large ball of light floating towards them, and even passing through them. Others saw the ghost of a woman, with a horrific scar running the length of her pale torso. The War of 1812 was a definitive moment in Canadian history, inflicting thousands of casualties. One fight in particular left an impression on Niagara Falls, Ontario. The Battle for Lundy’s Lane was so grueling; it claimed hundreds of lives in mere hours. At Drummond Hill Cemetery three such ghostly casualties remain; forever on duty watching the gates. Prepare for an exciting thrill ride to some of Canada’s most haunted locations.
