Mill Creek Entertainment Tabs Oct. 30 For The DVD Release Of Chillers: The Complete 12-Part Anthology Series

With The Shield: The Complete Series (18-disc collection featuring all 88 episodes) and writer/director Joe Camp’s 1978 Emmy-nominated Benji's Very Own Christmas Story on Mill Creek Entertainment’s Blu-ray release calendar for delivery to consumers on Nov. 6, it was only fitting that the priced-to-collect focus shift to what’s heading home on DVD this week.

One week earlier, Oct. 30, Mill Creek Entertainment has the double-disc DVD collection of Chillers: The Complete 12-Part Anthology Series, hosted by none other than Anthony “Norman Bates” Perkins himself. 

Each of the 12 installments plays like a mini-horror movie and with that Oct. 30 release date the timing is absolutely perfect for some Halloween chills!

For example, “The Cat Brought It In” has Edward Fox and his wife (played by Rosalind Ayres) hosting a weekend party of very proper English guests at his countryside manor.   So how does one keep up appearances when the family cat brings in — not a mouse, mind you — but a pair of human fingers!!!

Each episode features a different cast, which includes the likes of Tuesday Weld (“Something You Have to Live With”), Ian Richardson (“Under a Dark Angel's Eye”), Ian Holm (“The Stuff of Madness”) and James Fox (“Slowly, Slowly in the Wind”), to mention just a few.    

And as a bonus, each episode has a guest director, which includes the very pleasant surprises of auteur filmmaker Samuel Fuller directing “The Day of Reckoning” — which also features his wife, Christa Lang, and their daughter, Samantha Fuller.

And, as a bonus, Mill Creek Entertainment is including Digital Copy with the entire series.
 

On Nov. 6, look for the 11-disc DVD collection titled Golden History of Hollywood (complete with Digital Copy), which includes three separate presentations — Hollywood’s 50 Greatest Screen Legends (biographies of 25 male and 25 female stars of the silver screen, including Humphrey Bogart, Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable and more), Hollywood’s Best and Brightest (30 screen greats are profiled in this collection, including Sean Connery, Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson, Jack Nicholson, Jodie Foster, Goldie Hawn and Barbra Streisand) and the new release of And the Award Goes to … 80 Years of the Academy Awards.   

This latter unit in the Golden History of Hollywood box set, And the Award Goes to … 80 Years of the Academy Awards, can also be purchased separately as a three-disc DVD set on Nov. 6 as well (with Digital Copy).   It includes a history of the Oscars, plus extensive awards clips.
