My Top 10 M.I.A. Slashers wanted on BD...

Call me crazy but here's a few titles I'm desperate to see on shiny Blu Ray but sadly I feel I'm going to be out of luck any time soon. Obviously it goes without saying I'd love Friday 13th's remaining sequels and sooner or later I'd bet that will happen. So here you go, in no particular order 10 slasher movies I'd love to get on Blu Ray.

WARNING TRAILERS CONTAIN SPOILERS AND ARE NOT SAFE FOR WORK!

10. April Fool's Day


I've heard Warner may have got the distribution rights to April Fool's Day. If so then there is still hope this fun favourite will get the BD treatment it deserves.

09. Cherry Falls


I've always wanted to see the mythical unrated cut of this. I've heard bits and bobs about it over the years and what better way to finally get it out than a seamless branching version with the theatrical cut on BD. (I can dream can't I)

08. Silent Night, Deadly Night


I have the fantastic Arrow DVD of this classic Christmas slasher and for my money the upgrade to BD would be more than possible with that transfer. Sure the reinstated footage of gore is low quality but no more than the reinstated footage on the My Bloody Valentine BD.

07. Black Christmas (2006)


Yeah so more specifically the Unrated version as the Theatrical has been released in Germany and Canada. I really want to see this but the fact that the DVD version is more complete than the BD is infuriating to me. Frankly the Unrated version of the Prom Night remake makes the difference between a unwatchable chore of a bad movie to a just entertaining enough bad movie. If its the same with this one I'd rather hold out.

06. Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers


My favourite of the Sleepaway Camp films by far. I nice box set with all of them in would be tremendous but if I had to pick one then it would be this bad boy. Having said that if the uncut footage for part 3 could be reinstated then that would be a pretty high priority.

05. Cheerleader Camp aka Bloody Pom Poms


True story. I once went through Amazon buying every genre DVD with the word Cheerleader in the title. This was easily the best one but the competetion wasn't exactly award winning. Either way I'd love to get this bad boy on Blu Ray. Perfect for a company like Scream Factory if you ask me.

04. Slumber Party Massacre


Sadly Scream Factory have gone on the record as saying that the available film elements aren't up to scratch for a Blu Ray of this low budget treasure. I can dream though can't I.

03. Malevolence
Malevolence Trailer

For some reason Youtube/Blogger won't link to this so clicky to view. I heard a heck of a lot about this one. Its prequel did make it to BD but I want the original.

02. Valentine


Love this movie. Its vastly underrated IMO. I don't see it getting a BD sadly but you never know. It's a Warner title so its unlikely to get licensed but lets hope they get there on demand service going strong because I'd be surprised if it turns up any other way.

01. Jack Frost


Ok this is just not going to happen on Blu but I freaking love this film. Its got everything you could want in a film.

So yeah there you have it. Feel free to leave your top ten most wanted in the comments.
