The Hell Plaza Oktoberfest continues today as Dr. Jahnke wraps up his review look at Rob Zombie’s Halloween II on Blu-ray from Anchor Bay and Scream Factory’s Halloween: The Complete Collection box set.

Speaking of which, I’m told that a BD replacement program will be announced soon for the Halloween 4 disc in the set that has an audio sync problem. We’ll give you the details as soon as Anchor Bay and Scream make them official.   [Read on here…]

Sorry for the quick post today. Some portion of the Interweb upon which The Bits resides has apparently been subject to a denial of service attack from Chinese hackers today, which has meant that access to the site’s been spotty all afternoon.

You’d be surprised how often this kind of thing happens online. Ah, the Interweb...

Anyway, we have a trio of Blu-ray reviews for you this afternoon.   [Read on here…]

The Hell Plaza Oktoberfest continues today with Dr. Jahnke’s review of Halloween: Resurrection on Blu-ray Disc.

Jahnke and Doogan have also chimed in with their latest weekly installments of Burnt Offerings: MOD DVD and Doogan’s Queue, covering what’s new this week in Blu-ray, DVD, MOD, and streaming. Be sure to check it out.  [Read on here…]

Here’s a surprise. The long dormant MGM Limited Edition Collection has announced that they’ll soon be manufacturing on demand again. Their initial line-up is scheduled to arrive next week and I’ll be taking a look at those titles then. Before you get too excited, almost all of the titles in this first wave are previously released out-of-print movies. At least it’s something, though, and hopefully we’ll start seeing some more obscurities making their disc debuts from MGM soon.

In the meantime, here’s your weekly rundown of the week’s new MOD discs and a selection of streaming titles worthy of your attention. As always, please consider making a purchase via one of these nifty banners and you’ll help support The Bits. Many thanks if you do.  [Read on here...]
