Here are the coolest horror collectibles unveiled this week!
Matinee 4K UHD from Shout Select
Shout Select proudly presents Matinee on 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray on June 25. The 1993 comedy has been newly restored in 4K from the original negative, supervised by director Joe Dante, with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos sound.
John Goodman stars as a filmmaker loosely based on B-movie legend William Castle. Cathy Moriarty, Simon Fenton, Omri Katz, Kellie Martin, and Lisa Jakub round out the cast. Charles S. Haas (Gremlins 2: The New Batch) penned the script.
Special features include: a new commentary by film critics Drew McWeeny and Eric Vespe; new interviews with Martin and David Clennon; interviews with Dante, Moriarty, Jakub, production designer Steven Legler, editor Marshall Harvey, and director of photography John Hora; MANTastic! The Making of a Mant; vintage making-of featurette; and more.
Suspiria Button-Up from Middle of Beyond
I’d drape myself in Suspiria‘s lavish aesthetic every day if I could. Middle of Beyond’s new button-up shirt — with an all-over print featuring many of the film’s iconic visuals — is the next best thing.
It costs $60, and you can complete the outfit with matching shorts for the same price.
Stopmotion will bring your nightmares to life on Blu-ray on June 11 via IFC Films. The British psychological horror film marks the feature directorial debut of Robert Morgan (ABCs of Death 2).
In her review, Meagan Navarro said, “Morgan’s knockout debut opens up the veins of a turbulent artist, delivering one creepy melding of mediums to an unsettling, powerful degree.”
Aisling Franciosi stars with Tom York, Caoilinn Springall, Therica Wilson-Read, and Stella Gonet. Morgan co-wrote the script with Robin King.
Special features include: Behind the Scenes of Stopmotion and interviews with Morgan and Franciosi.
