Friday the 13th Parts 2-8 get DVD re-releases in the UK on Monday 9 February with cover art apparently inspired by The Texas Chainsaw 2: The Gruesome Edition and various Saw movies before it.

Parts 2 and 3 (which are also released on Blu-Ray) inherit the special features from the new region 1 editions, except that Part 3 [...]

The new doc covering the gory glory 30 years of Friday the 13th films is out now and I urge all slasher fans to pick up a copy. The interviews with the men behind the mask is a highlight as well as seeing many cast members from different entries. Steve Miner is [...]

Coming from Lionsgate on the 14th of April, Slaughter High finally hits DVD. It will have a pop-up trivia track (could be fun!). No, it’s not widescreen nor the Unrated cut. An April foolish purchase then? Discuss.
Update – see Wil’s comment below – it’s now UNCUT! Somewhere up above, Scuddamore is smiling.

UK fan Christopher Kane writes in with the following glorious details. Spoilers further in!

Dr. Lucio Fulci is a director [...]

Slasher fans will be interested in the new trailer compilation from Synapse Films due to hit stores Jan. 27, 2009.  This will be the first volume to feature trailers for slashers.  Fans can expect to see: Mortuary (with Michael Berryman), Schizoid (Klaus Kinski), Silent Scream, New Year’s Evil, Humongous, The Town That Dreaded Sundown (one of [...]

Hot diggity, you can watch it with integrated deleted scenes, or separately. Can February get here fast enough? BTW, you can see publicity shots from some of the uncut scenes courtesy of Thomas Ellison a time ago.

Every slasher fan worth their weight in heart-shaped candy knows exactly who has the legendary uncut scenes for My Bloody Valentine (hint: not a company). Yup. So, pretty hard for Lion’s Gate to bone this up. Mmm hmm.
“ShockTillYouDrop.com has received early word that Lionsgate is prepping a special edition DVD of George Mihalka’s 1981 slasher [...]
