I think we can all agree there's something for every Horror fan in that awesome selection. Not to mention that Scream Factory do a superb job of creating new content and presenting there films with the best possible available image quality. Frankly I'm excited. None has got more excited than the announcement of The Burning however. Why am I so excited you ask? Well I've never seen The Burning. Not especially unusual as there are many classic Slasher movies I haven't seen and many I have but The Burning is something I've come so close to seeing so often that I was beginning to think it would never happen. Its definitely in my Top 5 Most Wanted Blu-Ray Slasher Movies. Hey now there's an idea, I love a good list.
