It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And now we’re not singing about Christmas but Halloween at last! Some horror fans like to do a 31-day marathon. And if someone needs any inspiration, there are a lot of releases this month. A lot! Scream Factory is releasing some classics like the Night of the Demons trilogy, Pumpkinhead, and The Blob. There is also a lot of interesting stuff from Criterion with Freaks, Videodrome, and The Others. The wait is over with the new 4K Toxic Avenger Collection. And what about the new sensation, Talk to Me, or the new Ginger Snaps trilogy from Second Sight? This month, there is no reason not to upgrade your collection.
