Each week here at Bloody Disgusting we like to highlight some of the new Blu-ray releases hitting shelves across the world. Please note that this isn’t every release for the week, just a few of the ones that jumped out at us.

Doing things slightly different this week and only going with US releases because I’m currently out of town. World-wide releases will return next week. With that said, what a week of US releases we have! The Stuff and Outlaw: Gangster VIP from Arrow and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2?!? In one week?!
