DVD and Blu-ray Releases: February 21, 2017
We have a short list for you this week with only 5 total releases, but if you take into account that one of those listings is a double feature, that bumps the movie count up to 6. That’s good, right?
Further, when taking the double feature into account, exactly half of our release list consists of classics. Reaching back as far as 1959 with Vincent Price’s House on Haunted Hill and spanning to 1973’s Psychomania, you can make two purchases and get three great oldies.
Check out the other three movies listed below, and keep checking back each week for your most up-to-date horror movie release listing anywhere on the internet. As always, pleasant viewing.

Soon Abby is plunged into a nightmare of hellish proportions – pitted against a clan of ruthless, amoral and degenerate flesh-eaters lead by their murderous GRANNY!
Psychomania (1973)
Starring:
Nicky Henson, Beryl Reid, George Sanders
Synopsis:
The United States gave motorcycle-mad cinemagoers Easy Rider, The Wild One and The Wild Angels. The United Kingdom gave them Psychomania, the tale of zombie bikers run amok in southern England.
The Living Dead are a delinquent biker gang, fond of causing havoc on British roadways and making out in graveyards. Gang leader Tom (Nicky Henson) also has a Satanist for a mother, and when he discovers the secret of immortality, the name of his motley crew takes on a more literal meaning…
Directed by Hammer veteran Don Sharp (The Kiss of the Vampire, The Devil-Ship Pirates) and co-starring Beryl Reid (Dr. Phibes Rises Again) and George Sanders (Village of the Damned), Psychomania is a wonderfully offbeat gem, outlandish and eccentric in equal measure.
COLLECTIONS
