The first official week of summer, and still no love given to horror via any theatrical releases. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting some serious withdraws! That said, a few somewhat noteworthy DVDs hitting stores this week, including Crispin Glover’s crazy ass in SIMON SAYS, Vinnie Jones against a swamp in LEGEND OF THE BOG, and the totally-80s HOBGOBLINS.
