The last week of 2008 and one week before the theatrically filled January, we only get a couple of DVDs and one Blu-Ray disc to hold us over. First off, the 20th Anniversary Edition of HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II (which should be pretty damn awesome), and the Anniversary edition of BLOODSUCKERS FROM OUTER SPACE, a flick I’ve never heard of before but am sold on the title and the cover alone. On the Blu-Ray front, they’re finally getting around to releasing the acclaimed SERENITY in the new and improved format. Happy New Year everyone! Let’s hope 2009 does a better job at delivering the horror than 2008 did!
