Crystal Lake Memories release date...

I'm sure your all well aware of the highly anticipated Friday the 13th retrospective documentary Crystal Lake Memories. I know I am, but yesterday some epic news was posted on the excellent site Fridaythe13thfranchise.com.

Firstly and probably most importantly to this blog Crystal Lake Memories will indeed be on Blu-ray. In fact it will exclusively be on BD due to its mammoth run time making it impractical for DVD. Yep that's right MAMMOTH. How mammoth? 7 awesome hours mammoth! That's one heck of a documentary. The film is set for release on August 27th and will be available to pre order from July 8th at the Docs new website http://crystallakememories.net 

I for one can not wait for this. The Friday the 13th  franchise is easily my favourite series of films let alone slasher movies. It comes from the same team that made Never Sleep Again. The excellent Nightmare on Elm Street series documentary, which in case you were wondering is only available in Germany on Blu-ray but its a upscale. So chances are this will be a cracking watch.

As usual you can check out my slasher movie Blu-ray collection here...

Schizoid & Hospital Massacre aka X-Ray definately getting a BD from Scream factory...

This appears to be old news now but still its news to me. Last I'd heard it was unconfirmed whether Scream Factory would release either Hospital Massacre or Schizoid on Blu Ray. I'm happy to find out that Scream have now confirmed that the 1980's slashers will indeed make it to BD together in a BD/DVD double feature combo pack. This awesome news. I really thought it was unlikely Hospital Massacre would get a HD release from little bits of info from Scream I'd read.
