UK Horror and Cult DVDs coming out on February 1st, 2010
New on Blu-ray:
Halloween II (£24.99): Filmmaker Rob Zombie (The Devil's Rejects) returns to Haddonfield for this sequel that finds the murderous psychopath Michael Myers (once again played by Tyler Mane) out on the loose again. The film picks up where the last one left off. Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton) survives an attack by her mental-patient brother, Michael Myers, whom she doesn't know is related to her. On the way to the morgue, the ambulance carrying Michael crashes and, miraculously, the killer survives and heads out into the countryside, his body never recovered by the authorities. In the meantime, the madman's doctor, Samuel Loomis (Malcolm McDowell – A Clockwork Orange), has turned into a media whore on the cusp of superstardom with the release of his exposé on the horrific happenings presented in the previous film. As time ticks down to Halloween night, Michael, now living in a barn and urged on by the spirit of his dead mother and his younger self, is driven to seek out his sister once again.

New on DVD:
Bram Stoker's Dracula's Guest (£9.99 RRP): The frightful saga of literature's most fearsome vampire continues in this feature that finds young lovers Bram and Elizabeth separated when Dracula kidnaps Elizabeth and flees with the girl to his remote castle. Determined to ensure that no harm comes to his beloved Elizabeth, Bram wastes no time in racing across Europe to confront her undead abductor and rescue her from a fate worse than death. Originally excised from Bram Stoker's novel Dracula by the publisher due to concerns over the length of the book, the story of Dracula's Guest was published independently as a short story in 1914.

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (£9.99 RRP): John Barrymore's performance in this classic 1920 adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's novel, caused many critics at the time to acclaim him the greatest screen actor yet. With virtually no make up and minimal camera trickery, Barrymore relied on his considerable acting skills and his ability to contort his features (to the extent of dislocating his jaw) in order to make the transformation from the handsome, respectable Dr Jekyll, to the hideous, debased Mr Hyde.

Wow, what an incredibly soft weak for horror fans in the UK. Maybe this is to help the wallet after last week's great releases.
