Laserblast: Vampyr, What You Did Last Summer, Urban Legend, Brutal Massacre & More Mummies
This week, everything old is new again, thanks to the magic of home video – in particular, the Blu-ray format. THE MUMMY and THE MUMMY RETURNS were released in two-disc DVD editions only two weeks ago; now they are back again on Blu-ray disc, along with the spin-off title THE SCORPION KING. Also out on Blu-ray are two flicks that helped define formulaic Hollywood horror in the ’90s: I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER and URBAN LEGEND. Not on Blu-ray – but still a familiar title revived in a new home video incarnation – is Carl Dryer’s artsy VAMPYR: long considered one of the great achievements in horror cinema, it is now available as a high-class Criterion Collection DVD. There is also a box set compiling Season Two of Showtime’s MASTERS OF HORROR television series. Just about the only new title this week is BRUTAL MASSACRE: A COMEDY, in which David Naughton (AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON) stars as a down-on-his-luck director trying to jump start his career with a new horror film; hilarity, as they say, ensues.
All of these titles and more are available below the fold. Shopping at the Cinefantastique Online Store helps support this website.
