Inked Pictures Announces Hardbox Releases for September

Published

on

Last week Jonny Bunning mentioned some limited edition wooden box set releases for Halloween and The Crow coming out of Germany. The company responsible for those releases is Inked Pictures and as it turns out they’re very much into limited edition releases. They have a few very limited hardbox Blu-rays coming out on September 30, 2015. Hardboxes are really made for collectors that have a soft spot for VHS. They’re kind of reminiscent of the old clam shell cases that VHS used to come in except they’re made for Blu-ray. They’re usually released in Germany and typically come in very limited numbers. These upcoming releases from Inked Pictures for example will be limited to 50 each. That makes them pretty rare.

The September hardbox releases from Inked Pictures include King of New York, Dark Night of the Scarecrow, Needful Things and Frankenhooker. They all look pretty cool. I’ve yet to get into the hardbox releases myself, but with all these goodies coming out I may just have to start adding some to my collection.

To keep it up to date with all the limited edition releases coming from Inked Pictures (and there’s a lot of them!) be sure to visit them on Facebook.

‘Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story’ Slashes into VHS from Lunchmeat!

ollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story

The SCREAMBOX Original documentary Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story is now streaming on SCREAMBOX, and it’s next coming to VHS!

A limited edition of only 50 copies worldwide, the VHS copies of the Englund documentary will go up for grabs on Saturday, April 27 at 12pm EST on Lunchmeat’s official website.

Josh Schafer of Lunchmeat explains, “With so many of Englund’s works being seen and familiarized on videotape, it only felt right to offer fans and collectors the opportunity to experience this fantastic doc on VHS. We all know the Freddy movies just feel different on videocassette, and we wanted to bring that feel to this film for those who want it.”

“Since first donning a tattered fedora and a glove of eviscerating blades in 1984, Robert Englund has become a beloved horror icon. His portrayal of Freddy Krueger is without doubt a moment as visceral to the horror genre as Chaney’s werewolf or Karloff’s groundbreaking realization of Frankenstein’s monster. However, few realize the depths of Englund’s true power as a character actor away from the latex mask and iconic red and green sweater.

“A classically trained actor and director, Robert Englund has become one of the most revolutionary horror icons of our generation.. This unique and intimate portrait captures the man behind the glove and features interviews with Englund and his wife Nancy, Lin Shaye, Eli Roth, Tony Todd, Heather Langenkamp, and more.

“This is the quintessential documentary on the man who didn’t just bring Freddy Krueger to horrific and historic life on-screen and beyond, but has created a fantastic career as an elite actor and entertainer.”

Selling for $30, the VHS is presented in native widescreen format & duplicated in NTSC, housed in full-color slipcase and pressed on black videocassettes with silver foil face and side labels.

The VHS release is presented in partnership with Cineverse, Bloody Disgusting, and Screambox, in association with Dead Mouse Productions and Cult Screenings U.K.
