It’s a damn good week to be a Stephen King fan, that is for sure, because we have two must-own Blu-ray releases coming out on Tuesday, perfect for some inspired Halloween-time viewings. First up, Scream Factory has put together a Collector’s Edition of Creepshow that is just utterly phenomenal, and there’s also the long overdue Blu for Maximum Overdrive that’s coming out as part of the Vestron Video Collector’s Series.
As if that wasn’t already enough, Brian De Palma’s Sisters joins the ranks of The Criterion Collection this week, Night of the Demons is getting the Steelbook treatment, there’s an unrated version of Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead that arrives on Blu, plus there’s a special edition of Deadbeat by Dawn to look forward to as well.
Other notable releases for October 23rd include The Devil’s Doorway, The Unnamable, Patient Zero,...

The co-star and co-writer of Sightseers chats to us about the film, as well as the Midlands, women and Michael Elphick in cinema...
Sightseers arrives on disc in the UK today, off the back of well-deserved awards and acclaim. It was quite a journey for its co-star and co-writer, Alice Lowe, to get the film made. And she spared us a bit of time to talk about it all...
It almost seems folly to say congratulations on the film now, given that it's been quite the journey it has. I'm a Midlander first and foremost, so to see a movie open with a map of Halesowen gave me real glee. It did get me thinking that the cinema of the West Midlands has been sadly lacking on the big screen. The best I could do was Michael Elphick in I Bought A Vampire Motorcycle.

It's impressively bad. But it's still impressive. Keith Chegwin's Kill Keith is a better representation of British horror than any glossy Radcliffe drama
Ever since The Woman in Black became the most successful British horror film of all time, it's become apparent what the next few years of British horror will have in store. There'll be period costumes. There'll be stately atmospherics. There'll be long periods of hardly anything happening that are suddenly punctuated by a noise or a chair or a bird or whatever. But that's not what British horror is all about.
British horror isn't about Daniel Radcliffe looking glum. It's cheap. It's trashy. You can see the seams. And it barely cares. In fact, there's an argument to say that the bizarre low-budget Keith Chegwin vehicle Kill Keith (out on DVD next week) is far more representative of the British horror scene than The Woman in Black will ever be.

Watching the trailer for the Canadian-produced TV movie My Babysitter’s a Vampire (making its American premiere Friday on the Disney Channel), the most glaring thing I couldn’t wrap my head around is why a kid that far in his teens still needs a babysitter – a babysitter that looks to be the same age as him.
Is this boy a juvenile delinquent? Is he a total sissy? Are his parents super overprotective? What’s the deal? And is it really a good idea to pair a teenage boy almost assuredly experiencing hormonal overdrive with a really cute girl of an appropriate age for him to engage in the sort of carnal activity the adult film world has taught me always happens whenever an attractive babysitter is hired? That doesn’t seem right at all. Same reason I think it should be illegal for women to order pizza or hire...

To celebrate the 30th birthday of The Empire Strikes Back this coming Friday, Ryan finds out what happened next for those involved...
How about this for making some of us feel old? The Empire Strikes Back got its maiden cinema release on May 21st 1980. That, at the time of this article going live, is tomorrow. Tomorrow, one of the finest science fiction blockbusters of all time is going to be 30.
It's testament to the many strengths of the movie that it's still talked about so frequently three decades on, and many, of course, rate it as the finest Star Wars movie of the lot. But what happened to those who worked on it, in front of and behind the camera? We decided to celebrate the film's birthday by finding out...

• First Look has set a February 2 street date for Triangle, the latest film from Creep and Severance director Christopher Smith. The movie will be issued on DVD in both a limited edition with lenticular packaging (left image below) and a standard edition (right image below, which will also appear on a Blu-ray release).
Triangle stars 30 Days Of Night’s Melissa George (pictured) as a woman who goes on a yachting trip with a group of friends that is interrupted by a storm in the Bermuda Triangle. They are forced to board a passing ocean liner which appears to be deserted—but of course, it’s actually inhabited by someone who starts bumping the group off. The movie will be presented in widescreen with 5.1 Digital Surround sound, plus cast and crew interviews. Retail price is $28.98 for each DVD and $29.98 for the Blu-ray; see our advance review of Triangle here.
