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.

November comes to a close with a very light week of releases. Good thing light does not mean bad! Some of my most anticipated release of the year hit Blu-ray this week. Standouts are Scream Factory’s collector’s edition of Misery, Blue Underground’s release of the Bob Clark classic Deathdream and the Cult Epics release of Death Laid an Egg. I have no issues with a light week of releases when they’re of this quality. Happy collecting!
