TALES OF HALLOWEEN 4-Disc Collector's Edition to be Released this September


I was so pleased yesterday when I heard the news that Tales of Halloween will FINALLY be getting a Blu-ray/DVD release, and just in time for Halloween! This horror anthology film features 10 festive Halloween stories from beloved directors and actors in the horror community. I saw it last year, and it is definitely a treat (it even made my top 10 film list for 2015)! The wait for a Blu-ray/DVD release of this film has been excruciating, but it was worth it since this release is brimming with extras, including bonus features, never-before-seen horror shorts, video diaries, and even the soundtrack to the film. Halloween and horror fans can now add this fun anthology to their collections! I can't wait to add it to my movie shelf and make a tradition of watching it every Halloween season!

Check out the official press release below with all the gory details about the special limited edition release of Tales of Halloween!
