Hack!: Allumination
Reality filmmaking can be murder. Just ask Vincent King and his wife Mary Shelley, two passionate horror fans determined to create the ultimate slasher movie with the unwitting help of a cast to die for. Led by deceptively bookish biology major Emily, a group of horny college students visits the Kings' remote island to study the local flora and fauna, unaware that they're about to end up on the cutting room floor - literally! - as they are gruesomely dispatched in the style of both classic and contemporary shockers. Who will survive the Kings' insane homage to horror?
Danica McKellar (THE WONDER YEARS) leads an all-strange cast that includes Juliet Landau (BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) William Forsythe (THE DEVIL’S REJECTS), Burt Young (ROCKY), Lochlyn Munro (TOOTH FAIRY) and Kane Hodder (HATCHET) with character names like Carpenter, Argento, Radley and Stoker!
Masters of Horror: The V Word: Anchor Bay
For two geeky best friends who’ve only experienced carnage via their video games, it’s the ultimate late night dare: Ever seen a real dead guy? But when the pair breaks into a creepy local mortuary, they unleash a ferocious ghoul who’s hungry to share a few depraved urges of his own. Even if these pals-for-life can resist a violent suburban blood-spree, is there any peer pressure more horrific than that of the undead?
The final disc of the woefully un-even season two arrives just in time for your favorite vampire holiday—Christmas!

Several murders have taken place in London. All the victims are prostitutes and the murderer is using the same techniques as Jack the Ripper. Peter Dockerman, an ex-acrobat and husband of one of the victims is the prime suspect.

Silent Night, Deadly Night: Anchor Bay (TEX’S PICK OF THE WEEK)

I like to think of this as the ultimate anti-holiday film. It’s hard to believe its so good considering how incredibly shitty all the sequels to it were!
