‘Candyman’ Referenced In Exclusive ‘The Regular Show: Fright Pack’ Clipage!
Cartoon Network’s Emmy Award-winning hit animated comedy series “Regular Show” is back with its fifth and most frightening DVD ever, just in time for Halloween! “The Regular Show: Fright Pack” DVD, available September 3, 2013, features “Terror Tales of the Park II,” the 2-part Halloween special as its lead episode, wherein Mordecai, Rigby, Margaret and Benson tell scary stories on their way to a Halloween party. Also included on the DVD are 12 other hilarious episodes from the first four seasons of the top-rated show created by J.G. Quintel.
“Regular Show” is easily one of my new favorite shows, and I’m crazy excited to share this exclusive clip that gives homage to Clive Barker’s Candyman! In the clip, Rigby hopes to break a “jinx” by saying his name three times in front of a mirror. There are tons of your favorite horror films referenced in this special Fright Pack, as well as two anthology episodes. Horror fans, get on it!
Along with a character gallery bonus feature, “Regular Show: Fright Pack” will be available for the suggested retail price of $19.82 and features the following episodes: Terror Tales of the Park (2-part episode), Terror Tales of the Park II (2-part episode), Dead at Eight, Jinx, Grave Sights, Ello Gov’nor, Death Bear, Skunked, See You There, Meat Your Maker, The Best VHS in the World, Dizzy, Last Meal, and Skips’ Stress.
“Regular Show: Fright Pack” is the latest addition to the show’s growing home entertainment franchise from Cartoon Network, which includes top-selling episodic DVDs “Regular Show: Slack Pack,” “Regular Show: The Best DVD In The World.” “At This Moment In Time” and “Regular Show: Party Pack,” not to mention the recently-released “Regular Show”: The Complete First and Second Seasons Blu-ray and DVD release, which is bursting at the seams with bonus features.
An original animated comedy series from creator Quintel and Cartoon Network Studios, “Regular Show” features best friends Mordecai (a six-foot-tall blue jay) and Rigby (a hyperactive raccoon). The two are groundskeepers at a park owned by Pops, a humanoid-looking lollipop who has spent his entire life there. The job is so deadly dull that the two friends will do anything they can to avoid it. This doesn’t go over well with their boss Benson (an anthropomorphic gumball machine) — but their efforts often result in insane escapades that delight Pops. The series recently won a 2012 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Short-format Animated Program as well as a 2012 Ottawa Intl. Animation Festival Best Television Animation Made for Children. In addition, the series was nominated for a BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Award for Best Television Series (Kids).
New episodes of “Regular Show “premiere Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Cartoon Network with multiple replays throughout the week.
After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
