I Heart Germany...

So peridocially in my quest to create trhe ultimate Slasher movie Blu-Ray collection I randomly have a butchers at a few stratigic online stores from different parts of the globe. Yesterday I discovered a bunch of cool releases I had no idea were out there from Germany. It appears like Germany has quite the hunger for slashers in HD as they seem to put out the stuff nobody else seems to worried about.

Anguish - Germany & Austria
Blood Runs Cold - Germany
Bloody Mary 3D - Germany (3D Blu-Ray only)
Madison County - Germany (2D & 3D available)
Mother's Day Massacre - Germany (cut)

All of those are out right now and these are available to preorder

The Bunnyman Massacre - Germany March 8th
The Card Player - Germany April 11th
Rites of Spring - Germany May 17th
Sleepless - Germany March 7th

We'll have to wait and see if any of those are cut but but its pretty cool none the less. I'll update the lists as and when I find out.

I've been wanting to see Madison County for some time so it's pretty exciting to find it available on BD anywhere. If your fan of lists or seeing what is available for your own collection you can view the ongoing lists of,

My Slasher movie Blu-Ray collection A-Z

Sleepless and The Card Player coming to Germany...

Previously only available as premium priced limited edition Austrian Blu-Ray Media books both Sleepless and The Card Player are being released in Germany in regular editions. This suits me fine as long as they are uncut. I've never seen either and honestly the Austrian Media books, whilst very nice are just to pricey for me to import to the UK. Sleepless is due on Blu-Ray March 7th and The Card Player April 11th from Sun Film Entertainment. It's always nice to get a bit more Dario Argento in my collection.

Psycho 2 coming to Holland...

It seems Universal are gearing up to release the fantastic sequel to Hitchcock's Grandpappy of them all. Psycho 2 is out on Blu Ray in Holland on May 8th. Hopefully this means they are planning a world wide release sooner or later. Otherwise it looks like I'm importing.

Blog's Not Dead...

Hi Slash fans, as you can see it's been a little while since I've posted. Sadly following Christmas holiday my computer decided without warning that it would not connect to the internet despite every other device in the house having no issue with it. Making posting on here and other fun stuff like downloading Podcasts a tad difficult. Wouldn't you know it out of nowhere yesterday the PC just changes it's mind after over a month.

Anyway here's a bit of an update to reassure you the quest for the ultimate Slasher movie Blu-Ray collection isn't dead. I've added several titles to both the complete A-Z of Slasher movies in my Blu-Ray collection and the list of Slasher movies that are available all over the world that I haven't got my hands on as of yet.

The Slasher Movie Blu-Ray Collection A-Z...

Slasher Movies available on BD NOT in the collection yet...

As you can see there's a fair few more of them. Perhaps the most surprising of which was the sudden appearance of a exclusive double feature from Mill Creek Entertainment at Walmart stores in the US of When A Stranger Calls / Happy Birthday To Me. Not only did it appear out of nowhere at a bargain price but the transfers of both films are tremendous. Mill Creek get a giant thumbs up from me on this one. If there was one criticism it would be the astonishingly ugly cover artwork but as a disc its stellar. If your having trouble picking up the Walmart fear not it will be available on general release on March 26th in the US.

I mentioned Podcasts earlier and I have to mention The Hysteria Continues from the guys that run the OG Slasher movie review site Hysteria-lives.co.uk and The Bodycount Continues forum. I've listened to it a fair bit and as a Slasher fan its a must listen podcast. Its funny, charming, informative and passionate. There's not much more you can ask than that. You can subscribe for free at iTunes or at Hysteria Lives!

Whilst I'm at it the chap that runs Hysteria-lives.co.uk Justin Kerswell also has a frankly jaw dropping coffee table book out named Teenage Wasteland: The Slasher Movie Uncut in the UK and The Slasher Movie Book in the US. Next time your in a decent book store check it out. The artwork it contains alone makes it a must have not to mention its a great, in depth chronicling of the history of the Slasher movie. BUY IT!

Hopefully now my PC has resurrected itself I won't be quite as MIA as I have been from the blog.

Back soon....
