What's new on Blu-ray (UK) for Halloween 2021

[Mark Costello]

Don’t just watch John Carpenter’s classic this year... try some of these new 1080p disc releases instead… or more likely as well.
Read the news.

Great work @Mark Costello - a well timed and excellent list.
The most interesting one there for me, that I had heard of before but haven't yet been able to see, is "Road Games".

Thanks mate. Appreciate the feedback.

As I said, I was sort of shocked by Roadgames as I expected a very overt horror/thriller and that isn't at all what it is. It does have horror and thriller elements, but its also a complex character study and often quite amusing piece of drama as well, very much a sum of its many different parts.

The package from Indicator is a stunner though - considering they re-release their Limited Editions with all the same disk content at fairly low prices, they're rapidly becoming the high benchmark of boutique labels for me.

Quality reviews as always. Half of these I have never heard of, possibly a good thing.

The Anaconda 3 review is the standout, I think I saw that turd back in the day but cannot remember a single thing about it. Not even the Hoff

Keep them coming Mark. You provide a great service protecting the innocent from poo movies

Thanks for the round up, a couple more added to the Cinema Paradiso list.
I didn't know they had made Anaconda 2 let alone 3, the first was bad enough.

Also if any one is looking for a kung Fu, horror comedy on Blu-Ray this Halloween ,I can 100% recommend Encounter Of The Spooky Kind. Encounter of the Spooky Kind (GUI DA GUI) - Eureka Classics
It's a fantastic film.

I'm sitting thinking "Eh, I've had a bunch of those for ages..." then I realised they'll be the standard reissues

I love cheesy horrors, but that William Grefé collection is a bit of a chore. I barely made it through Sting of Death

I really need to pick up Monstrum.

Monstrum is a lot of fun (thanks @Mark Costello). I would have easily missed the hell out of it had Mark not said Korean kinda Brotherhood of the Wolf kinda. SOLD.

That's my defacto top of this list, but I still need to watch PG and Roadgames for sure.
