Whoa, way overdue, but this is a good batch for last week's PSN video content update, largely because I still get laughs out of The 40-Year-Old-Virgin. Other notables include the unrated director's cut of Miami Vice, Gran Torino, Sniper, and the zombie movies Dawn and Land of the Dead  - both unrated. You get to catch those in glorious HD, as well as other movies now available for download.

 

This week's dose of Blu-ray releases will probably have you busting out the popcorn, turning off the lights, and cowering in your couches. Just in time for Halloween preparations, the releases for this week are dominated by the subject of the dead who won't stay dead, the undead, the living dead, and George A. Romero flicks.

Arguably, those four are the same thing but we digress. Included in this week's releases are a smattering of various other titles that will definitely pique your interest, a documentary, and A Room With a View. Let's check out the releases, shall we?

First off, Halloween (1978). You know, the start of Michael Myers' career slashing in an effort to get rid of everyone in his family. He hunts down his sister, Laurie Strode (played by Jamie Lee Curtis), and basically kills everyone who gets in his way. Definitely a pick for the coming horror movie marathon at the end of this month, eh?

   

Next comes the movie about THE infamous vampire. Bram Stoker's Dracula in based on the novel and stars Gary Oldman as the two-legged lamprey... er, vampire and Winona Ryder as Mina Murray. The movie tackles the events that led to Dracula turning into a vampire plus what happened when he met Mina. Add the name Van Helsing into the mix and you've got something big in your hands.

Deviating from the pack of horror movies for this week's Blu-ray releases is Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. This group of superheroes have far more problems other than their nemesis Dr. Doom. The Silver Surfer has paid our galaxy a call and as all comicbook heads would know, heralds the coming of evil devourer of worlds Galactus. What are superheroes supposed to do?
