Night of the Creeps

Eureka Entertainment is well prepared for Halloween this year, with three horror on Blu-ray titles coming in the month of October, each with special limited edition slipcases….

Night of the Creeps, the simultaneously frightening and hilarious 80s horror classic, will be released in a Dual Format (Blu-ray & DVD) edition as part of the Eureka Classics range from 8 October 2018. Presented with a Limited Edition O-Card slipcase and booklet, this deluxe edition features the original director’s cut and a host of special features.

Next up, from writer / director George A. Romero, the man who unleashed Night of the Living Dead, comes Monkey Shines, a terrific psychological thriller that delivers a disturbing message about messing with Mother Nature. Starring Jason Beghe and Janine Turner, this riveting tale is a white-knuckle triumph that doesn’t let up! Presented on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK in a Dual Format (Blu-ray & DVD) edition with an array of special features, and a limited edition O-card slipcase. Monkey Shines will be unleashed to the world on the 8 October 2018.

Last, but not least, although on this occasion many might disagree, a celebration of one of the greatest ‘bad movies’ ever made, Troll: The Complete Collection. Embraced by a generation of “bad” movie fans, Troll 2 has become one of the most iconic cult films of its generation, and to this day regularly plays to sold-out theatres of adoring fans. Presented here alongside the first (and entirely unrelated) film, Troll, as well as Best Worst Movie, the definitive documentary on the film’s unexpected resurgence as a cult favourite. Troll: The Complete Collection is a celebration of one of the most unusual success stories in movie history, and is set to be released on Blu-ray as part of the Eureka Classics range from 8 October 2018. Featuring a Limited Edition O-Card Slipcase, with artwork designed by Devon Whitehead, and a collector’s booklet featuring rare content.”

All three Blu-rays will be released in the UK on October 8. You can find full release information, including rundowns of each of their bonus content packages, on Eureka’s FB page.
