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!!!!

  LINK TO BEST HORROR MOVIES OF ALL TIME - ROLLING STONE We're giving you a look at lucky #13 - Rosemary's Baby Mia Farrow is Rosemary, a young Manhattanite who adores her struggling actor husband Guy (John Cassavetes). They’ve just moved into a new apartment building, and she soon findis herself pregnant — and more than a little concerned, since she can’t quite remember how that happened. Rosemary begins to suspect that the people around her, including a devilishly nosy neighbor (Oscar-winner Ruth Gordon), are more concerned about the unborn child than they are about her. We soon find out why. An icy commentary on women’s subservient role in society, this adaptation of the Ira Levin bestseller draws its dark power from director Roman Polanski’s increasingly claustrophobic approach, which slowly smothers the imperiled Rosemary as she tries to break free of the unseen menace around her. Farrow has never been so riveting, so haunted, so utterly fearless, her character’s steely r...
