———–


BEST COVER ART/PACKAGING

The Nightmare Before Christmas (Limited Edition Ultimate Collector’s DVD Set)


“Assuming you have extra shelf space for this 13.5”-tall bust, it makes for a great decoration any time of the year, especially, well, Christmas (it comes with Santa gear for Jack).”


COOLEST EXTRA

He Who Made Monsters: The Life and Art of Jack Pierce on The Mummy (Universal Legacy Series)


“An informative tribute to the late makeup artist who influenced countless others, including Rick Baker and Tom Savini. This 25-minute featurette will make you appreciate the craft more than ever.”


MOST WORTHWHILE DOUBLE-DIP

Vertigo (Universal Legacy Series)


“Book-like casing (as is standard for Universal Legacy Series DVDs) with terrific video/audio transfers and a number of new features spread over two discs.”

Check out the rest of the list here including Best Overall DVD, Worst Gimmick, Most Shameful Re-Release and others!
