Oktoberfest Se7en is here, plus Elysium extras, Criterion 50% off "flash" sale & more!
All right, as you can probably see... The Hell Plaza Oktoberfest Se7en is here! Doc Jahnke and I kicked things off early this morning with the official Fest page and Adam’s first review: Scream Factory’s The Amityville Horror Collection on Blu-ray! Every weekday, all this month, Adam will offer up another Halloween-themed movie review on Blu-ray and DVD for your reading (and creepy viewing) pleasure!
Also, we strongly recommend that you guys head on over to Facebook and give both The Digital Bits and Jahnke’s Electric Theater pages there a “like” because all month long we’re going to be giving away (on both Facebook pages) a bunch of great Blu-rays from Shout! Factory, Scream Factory and Anchor Bay, as well as one each of those badass Universal Monsters prop replicas from our friends at Factory Entertainment, including the Dracula Medallion, the Dracula Ring, the Fossil Creature Hand and the Frankenstein Bust! We’ll have more details on the giveaways very soon. Oktoberfest is one of our favorite times of year and it’s going to be a great month, so we hope you all enjoy it! [Read on here...]
