Paramount Home Media Teams With Nickelodeon For The DVD Launch Of Blue's Clues And You On Sept. 01

It’s a Blue’s Clues bonanza this September and October as Paramount Home Media will be teaming up with Nickelodeon for the release of not one, but two new DVD editions drawn from the new reboot of the original Blue’s Clues kidvid series, Blue’s Clues & You.

 

First up, on Sept. 1, is the DVD debut of Blue’s Clues & You, which features Blue’s new friend, Josh (Joshua Dela Cruz) in four “play-along, laugh-along and learn-along” episodes.   The big focus is a playdate with Magenta and Josh has to help Blue figure out what needs to be done to make that a big success.

 

In addition to the four episodes, there are fun extras, including songs, “skidoos” and plenty of extra clue-fun for all.

 

Blue is back on Oct. 6 with the DVD release of Blue’s Clues & You: Caring with Blue, which also features four new episodes, this time the big event is Magenta getting a new pair of glasses.   This DVD release also includes fun extras, like music-themed digital shorts, instruction in the basics of American Sign Language and much more!!

 

In other DVD release news from Paramount Home Media this past week, Sept. 29 will be the DVD street date for a four disc, 10-episode collection of Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, Season One.

 

This throwback series — filmed on various locations in the Los Angeles area last summer (2019) — takes place in 1938 (think: Chinatown for the general feel) and introduces us to detectives Tiago Vega (Daniel Zovatto — Don’t Breathe, It Follows, Lady Bird) and Lewis Michener (Nathan Lane — The Birdcage, The Producers), who are not only investigating a particularly brutal murder, but have to contend with the demon Magda (Natalie Dormer — as Margaery Tyrell in the Game of Thrones series) and the arrival of Nazi troublemakers.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mill Creek Entertainment Picks Sept. 15 For The DVD Debut Of Writer/Director Chris W. Freeman's Evil Takes Root: The Curse of the Batibat

Mill Creek Entertainment has selected Sept. 15 as the street date for the DVD debut of writer/director Chris W. Freeman’s Evil Takes Root: The Curse of the Batibat.

 

Felix Fojas (Nicholas Gonzalez — as Dr. Neil Melendez in The Good Doctor television series, plus such films as The Purge: Anarchy, Pray for Rain, Beneath Us, etc.) is something of a paranormal investigator, but it’s always been detached, impersonal … until now.   His friend, Amanda (Constance Brenneman) has gone missing after a mysterious phone call and he has been contacted by the local police to help out.

 

His investigation leads him to believe that she may have fallen victim to a Filipino/Ilocano spirit known as the Batibat.   He knows it is a myth, a folk tale, but mysterious tree markings near Amanda’s home in rural Ohio offer clues to this creature being a reality.   

 

Sarah (Stevie Lynn Jones — The Tribes of Palos Verdes, Is My Daughter Really Dead?), Amanda’s daughter, could be next and Felix sets out to save her by breaking the curse of the Batibat, a tree-dwelling malevolent spirit.  The local sheriff, Roy Garland (John Churchill — Tentacle 8, The Trouble with Romance, Cellular), is skeptical at first, but when the “paranormal” becomes all too real, he reluctantly becomes a believer … there is something definitely amiss in his quiet little hamlet.

 

Filmmaker Chris W. Freeman (Sorority Party Massacre, Mirror Image, Beast Mode) blends together a creepy horror tale with all the trappings of a police investigation, throws in some troubled home issues, the occult, witches, a mysterious priest (played by Adetokumboh M'Cormack) and even manages to make the local Amish community seem sinister.   All-in-all, Evil Takes Root: The Curse of the Batibat from Mill Creek Entertainment on Sept. 15 is a total creep-out … stay out of the woods and stay away from the Batibat!!

 

 

 

 

 

Director John Migliore's Creature From Cannibal Creek On DVD From Wild Eye Releasing On Oct. 13

Wild Eye Releasing, with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has tabbed Oct. 13 as the DVD debut date for actor-turned-director John Migliore’s Creature From Cannibal Creek.

 

OK, every genre fan worth their salt knows about the “victim pool.”  These are the poor souls that end up in the haunted house, or the abandoned insane asylum, or lost in the woods (you name, you’ve seen it) and are picked off one by one by some creature, or serial killer.   A corollary to this is, usually, the fun of guessing who “the final girl” will be … it’s a tried and true formula for serving up scares.

 

Director John Migliore, who as a filmmaker, has given us Poltergeist Encounters, Exorcism of the Dead and The Friday Night Death Slot, turns this on its head as the victim pool consists of inbred, backwoods cannibals.   Who do you root for among that lot?

 

They catch and cage hikers and campers who wander into “their” forest home.  After properly being “seasoned,” these hapless souls are butchered and eaten.  However, one escapes and through some “nature magic” dies and is resurrected as a Swamp Thing-like creature that begins hunting down and killing the inbred, backwoods cannibals.   Perfect for the Halloween season!!

 

Bonus goodies include two featurettes — “Behind the Scenes” and “The Musings of Harriet” — and a promotional cartoon.

 

 

 

 

 

Bayview Entertainment Targets Oct. 13 For The Next Wave Of HNN Presents Releases On DVD • Fabula And Profondo

Back in June, Bayview Entertainment announced that they were teaming up with Horrornews.net to launch a DVD line of “HNN Presents” horror films from both the domestic market as well as those from the far corners of the world.   The first two, Master Pieces and Me and The Devil, will be arriving on DVD on Sept. 1.

 

This week, Bayview and HNN are back with news about the second wave, which will be ready for genre fans to enjoy on Oct. 13.   These are: HNN Presents: Fabula and HNN Presents: Profondo … both from Italian filmmakers.

 

Writer/director Denis Frison also stars as “retired” detective Davide Marini, who arrives in a sleepy Italian village in the northern part of the county.   Nothing much happens here … it’s a like something out of a fairytale.   But, looks can be deceiving as Frison’s giallo-inspired story plays out with a classic blend of mystery and murder.

 

Indeed, Marini no sooner arrives when it becomes clear that there is a serial killer on the loose and the locals seem unable — or incapable — of stopping the brutal murders that have been taking place.   He begins to piece it together, and oddly, the clues point to fairytales being the basis for the killings.   It would be helpful, in his pursuit of the mystery killer, if the locals weren’t so odd … perhaps too many Fellini films!!

 

HNN Presents: Fabula is presented in Italian with English subtitles.

 

Also heading home on DVD on Oct. 13 under the “HNN Presents” promotional banner is writer/director Giuliano Giacomelli’s Profondo.

 

Leonardo (Marco Marchese — Across the River) is a photographer, a journalist, who has seen too much, done too much and his days are drawing to a close.  He has come to this Italian fishing village in search of a legendary sea creature, the “Red Devil.”   It is a creature of the sea … folklore, a myth perhaps.

 

Chain-smoking, disheveled and irritable (dying does that), Leo makes few friends in his search for the creature, which may be nothing more than a quest without resolution, especially since we learn that he doesn’t particularly like the sea.   Think in terms of a dying man looking to die on a marvelous adventure … and not in some hospital bed, surrounded by strangers.   Instead, death in search of the mythical “Red Devil” is much more appealing.

 

But as Leo investigates, maybe, just maybe, there is such a creature!!  There are the tales, the legends and even old newspapers reporting such a creature.  So, for Leo, there is only one way to find out … to the sea and the mysteries to be found just below the surface!!

 

HNN Presents: Profondo is presented in Italian with English subtitles.
