The Evil Dead 2 Blu-ray anniversary edition is finally here! And that’s all that matters in this week’s horror releases. Not sure if other distributors are still feeling the post-Halloween jitters or if they knew every self-respecting horror fan with a love for zany would be shelling out hard-earned rupees for the pleasure of enjoying Sam Raimi’s masterpiece.

After the break you’ll find this week’s home video releases, although we’re already looking ahead to next week… Horror In Your House

While backpacking across the country, bickering gay couple Cary and Vogel decide to speed up their trek by hitchhiking instead. That s when fate brings them Brewster, a sexually-confused trucker who picks the pair up on his way to delivering a shipment of coffins. After a few strokes of bad luck, the mismatched trio ends up lost and broken down in an abandoned junkyard. Though surviving a night of petty fights and sexual tension seems tough enough, the nightmare is only just getting started as strange noises in the back of the truck reveal the presence of five bloodthirsty vampires…

EVIL DEAD 2: DEAD BY DAWN: 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION (DVD / Blu-ray) – Lionsgate

A sequel/remake of the film The Evil Dead. A young man named Ash takes his girlfriend Linda to a secluded cabin, and plays back a professor’s tape recorded recitation of passages from the Book of the Dead. The spell calls up an evil force from the woods which turns Linda into a monstrous Deadite, and threatens to do the same to Ash. When the professor’s daughter and her entourage show up at the cabin, the night turns into a non-stop, grotesquely comic battle with chainsaw and shotgun on one side, demon horde and flying eyeball on the other.
