Fright Fest

Settle down in front of your PlayStation 3 for a night of scares this Halloween with this perfect blend of classic and new horror on Blu-ray Disc.

Drag Me To Hell

Fright Fest

Spider-Man director Sam Raimi returns to the genre where he made his name, with this roller coaster horror ride filled with shocks and laughs. Alison Lohman stars as Christine, an ambitious L.A. loan officer with a charming boyfriend played by Justin Long. Life is good until the mysterious Mrs. Ganush arrives at the bank to beg for an extension on her home loan. Should Christine follow her instincts and give the old woman a break? Or should she deny the extension to impress her boss?

Unfortunately for Christine, she chooses the latter, shaming Mrs. Ganush and dispossessing her of her home. The old woman then places a powerful curse on her, transforming her life into a living hell. Haunted by an evil spirit and misunderstood by a sceptical boyfriend, she seeks the aid of seer Rham Jas to save her soul from eternal damnation. As evil forces begin to close in, Christine must face the unthinkable: how far will she go to break free of the curse?

True Blood: Season One

The small town of Bon Temps, Louisiana, boasts an array of colourful characters including Sookie Stackhouse, a sweet and innocent waitress who hides her powerful ability to read minds. Then there’s Sookie's brother Jason, a ladies' man who can't seem to stay out of trouble; tough-as-nails Tara, Sookie's loyal best friend; and San, the owner of Merlotte's who tries to keep his feelings for Sookie to himself.

Then there is Bill Compton, a 173-year-old vampire who's just moved back to town. Welcome to a world where vampires live among us, surviving on synthetic blood. Or so we thought. Based on the acclaimed series of novels by Charlaine Harris and created for TV by Alan Ball, writer of the Oscar-winning Best Picture American Beauty and creator of the Emmy Award-winning HBO series Six Feet Under, True Blood is a spooky series like no other.

I Sell The Dead

Fright Fest

Darkly comic, and absurdly funny, I Sell The Dead was the subject of rave reviews throughout its tour of the film festival circuit in 2009. Now, you can experience this brilliantly written, superbly acted and horrifically enjoyable horror comedy in High Definition on your PlayStation 3.

Nineteenth century justice has finally caught up with grave robbers Arthur Blake (Lost's Dominic Monaghan) and Willie Grimes. With the guillotine looming over him, young Blake confides in visiting clergyman Father Duffy recounting 15 years of adventure in the resurrection trade. From stealing trinkets as a young boy from the dead to a partnership with Willie, Arthur recounts a fear-filled adventure filled with tales of hunting creatures unwilling to take their place in the ground.

Gremlins

Mogwai; they’re cute, clever, mischievous and intelligent. And let’s not forget the rules to prevent these furry friends from turning into fierce fiends. Don't ever get them wet. Keep them away from bright light. And no matter how much they cry, no matter how much they beg - never, ever feed them after midnight.

When young Billy Peltzer takes possession of his cuddly new pet, a Christmas present from his father, he gets a whole lot more than he bargained for when he messes up and breaks the first rule of the Mogwai by getting it wet. Hilarious and packed full of scares, Gremlins is one of the most memorable creature features of all time thanks to director Joe Dante and producer Steven Spielberg coupled with the superb puppetry work crafted by the masterful special effects artists behind this perfect Halloween fright fest.

Halloween

Fright Fest

The original and greatest Halloween night film and perhaps the most influential independent film of all time in Hollywood, Halloween is the movie that put director John Carpenter on the map. An exercise in terrifying, pure horror, Halloween takes us into the world of Michael Myers, a killer driven by an insatiable bloodlust and locked away for many years in a psychiatric hospital. Now, years later on Halloween night he has come home to continue his killing spree.

Packed with special features including a compelling commentary by Carpenter and star Jamie Lee Curtis, and an in-depth retrospective documentary on the film and its influence on Hollywood and horror cinema, Halloween has never been better presented. Prepare for the ultimate scare!

An American Werewolf In London

When two American students touring the English countryside are attacked by a vicious wolf during a full moon, their lives are suddenly transformed forever. Featuring ground-breaking Academy Award-winning make-up by Rick Baker, this cult favourite is directed by John Landis of Blues Brothers and National Lampoon's Animal House fame, perfectly blending the macabre with a touch of twisted humour.

This newly remastered High Definition version of the film features a host of out - takes, behind the scenes interviews, a director's commentary and best of all, the brand new feature-length documentary, Beware The Moon which features all-new interviews with cast and crew member and previously unseen on-set footage. A must for monster movie fans.

Hardened police detective Aidan Breslin has grown increasingly distant from his two young sons Alex and Sean since the death of his wife. At work, he finds himself thrust into an investigation of twisted serial killings rooted in the Biblical prophecy of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

As Breslin grapples with each new revelation in the case, he slowly discovers a shocking connection between himself and the four suspects. Full of twists, turns and mind-bending revelations, Horsemen Of The Apocalypse is guaranteed to have you ducking behind the sofa on the scariest night of the year.

Evil Dead

Fright Fest

Evil Dead will scare you senseless. In an apparently forsaken cottage, Ash and his friends discover a tape recorder. They turn it on to hear the voice of Professor Knowby, who has successfully translated The Book of the Dead.

A favourite amongst horror film fans, Evil Dead is the perfect Halloween night movie.
