But that incredible cover art + Joe Bob Briggs is a mighty tempting combination!

There are far worse films out there and the Joe Bob segment is worth the price of admission so there are certainly worse ways to spend your money. I haven't quite yet locked in a pre-order but that's mainly because I'm curious to see if this ends up getting an in store release. I already know I'll be buying it at some point however.

It should be available at Walmart. They stock most of RLJ Entertainment's titles.

Thanks, I'll take the chance! I think all my other RLJ releases have them anyway, so it'd be weird if this didn't.

Watched this on Shudder and really liked it. I'm glad the Last Drive In episode is included. I would buy more of these Shudder exclusives on BD if they included some extras. I'll probably grab this Day 1.

For $12.99 I'll give this a blind buy. Wasn't disappointed with Creepshow, and I like supporting this type of physical media release.

Has this blu ray been spotted at any walmart stores?

[jzbadblood]

I didn't like this one, but I might get it to have the Last Drive-In episode on disc.

In my area they only stock the DVDs, no blus!!

Review is up on the main page. Enjoy!

Scare Package Blu-ray

Got mine today.

Does anyone know if I can do the Shudder free trial (which was a nice unexpected perk, at least to me) and still take advantage of the usual Halloween deal they have?

Picked up the blu at Best Buy today. That raised/embossed slip is sweet!!

I just turned this off after the excruciating ‘The Night He Came Back Again Part 4’ or whatever it’s called. From the jump I was lost with this one. ‘Cold Opening’ was a confusing mess of meta overdrive, bad acting and what the hell am I watching?? ... type humor that pretty much set the template for the entire experience to follow. Everything here is just rushed to the max so there is no tension or scares. Just manic comedic horror violence that isn’t very funny or shocking and out of left field story developments that seem to be from the mind of a schizophrenic. Example: A guy down on his luck and under pressure from his wife joins a men’s support and self help group that actually turns out to be a pack of werewolves, only it turns out he knows this, so he kills them all then takes their hides home to his satanic cult member wife and they have a ceremony in their living room with the other cult members. Huh?? The video store segments were interminable. The three main characters seemed to be battling each other for the title of ‘most unlikabale’. The only thing I liked about this was the amazing slipcover and cover art, which nails that 1980’s VHS horror vibe. Too bad it belongs to this piece of crap movie.

Did you know this was a horror comedy going into it? I have to admit it's my least liked category of film, but I enjoyed this one. Thought it was fun.

If you did know going in, why would you expect any tension/scares/shock?

I quite enjoyed the Video store scenes, and most of the movie. Did it always make sense? Nah. But it was a fun watch

As I mentioned on my initial comments way back when... I can't imagine not watching this without the Joe Bob segments. They help break up the frustration of the film and provide some much needed (actually funny) comedic relief.

Well I’m glad you enjoyed it, but I wasn’t into it obviously.

I’m gonna give it a rewatch with the Joe Bob commentary.

Odd... This is supposed to be 1080p, but the 24fps function diesn't activate with this one which suggests 1080i... Anyone else have this issue?
