‘The Evil Dead’ Blu-Ray Really Limited After All?
I usually view limited edition releases as a distributor ploy to have fans run their asses down to their local DVD mart on the day of release. Let’s be honest here: even though some of them are amazing (I treasure my Blade Runner briefcase), most so-called “limited editions” hang around for at least six months to a year before disappearing, while others hang around indefinitely. Very rarely do you see one go OOP in a month, but that is apparently the case with Anchor Bay’s sublime The Evil Dead Blu-Ray, released on August 31, 2010. Blu-Ray.com forums have been buzzing with reports of major retailers (Amazon.com among them) now selling the film sans the second disc. Best Buy is selling the Blu-Ray this week for $9.99, and consumers are finding two-discs mixed in at some locations. So, here is your warning before the inevitable double dip comes out next year: if you want the special features disc, run out and grab it before it’s too late.
One of my personal favorite horror movies of all time, 1987’s gateway horror classic The Gate is opening back up on May 14 with a brand new Blu-ray SteelBook release from Lionsgate!

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
