Child's Play | Scream Factory Collector's Edition | Blu-ray | 1988/2016

 Friends 'til the end! I knew the first Child's Play, and I'm almost sure I had seen the original two sequels, but it really wasn't until Universal took over the franchise and gave us Bride of Chucky that the wave of home video releases brought me to the true joys of Chucky. The original I remembered mostly for Dinah Manoff, who I was very familiar with from TV's Empty Nest. Once I moved to Chicago, I got more and more vested into the production and the shooting locations, including The Brewster which I lived next door to for a few years. I've probably looked up at that window more than anyone 😁. The original elevator and iron work are still present, which is very reminiscent of another famous filming location-the Bradbury Building in Downtown Los Angeles. This edition was given much praise from the media, the critics, and the fans for its depth of features and picture. Do you have this edition?

The Return of the Living Dead | Scream Factory Collector's Edition | Blu-Ray | 1985/2016

The Return of the Living Dead has received quite the second life in the last 15 years. I grew up only knowing Part 2, and it remains one of my favorites. But when MGM did a great DVD release in 2002 I was finally introduced to the original, and a special edition followed in 2007 with amazing features (especially for horror at that time). This version from Scream Factory, released to coincide with the 30th Anniversary, is a great digital upgrade in Blu-ray format restoring most of the original audio and music tracks (another story, another day) while adding great new content on the makeup and FX. Do you have this edition? Have comments or reviews of the packaging or the features? Drop them in the comment section!!!!
