Nothing at Walmart yet, however, The Real Canadian Superstore rolled out theirs. I picked up the Friday the 13th 4-Movie Collection for $13 and the 28 Weeks Later/28 Days Later 2-Movie set for $8. A bunch of other movies in the rack including some new ones like Scared Shrekless.

I hear some of the Wal-Marts are getting their Halloween selections out. I've already heard word that Halloween 4 and Halloween 5 - which I've never seen in WalMart - might actually be in the $5 bin this year. Perfect price for me since I never much cared for those movies but really want to check out the special features and, of course, Anchor Bay takes damn good care of their horror titles.

Good thread for Canadian members for Halloween movie deals on the Blu-Ray.com forum:

I wouldn't spend 1 cent on that "movie."

(For fear of people thinking I not only consider it to be effective as a torture film but also that I find the killer character's speeches to be meaningful instead of insultingly pretentious.)

Finally spotted a small Halloween rack at one local Walmart. No horror movies though, it just had stuff for kids like Scared Shrekless.

I found a few halloween films at one of my local Wal-Marts. They had a section for kids films and they had a section for standard horror films like Last House on the Left, The Exorcist, Poltergeist Frankenstein, etc.

I'd kill for that Crypt season to have been 6. I need to replace my current set.

Since my Birthday is coming up next week, I really want to actually get out to Wal-Mart to check their selection. Of course, for now, can't do anything...

Ghost Ship is part of a 4 pack up here in the Real Canadian Superstore. I can't remember what else is with it though. I think Gothicka and Dreamcatcher are two of the other films.

Forget Walmart. For some reason they are ignoring Halloween this year. I just got back from HMV and they rolled out their Halloween movies. Great selection of $5 and $10 DVDs, also some Blu-Rays. Everythign from Disney's Hocus Pocus to The Evil Dead.

I picked up The Evil Dead and Stephen King's It for $5 apiece.

I've had Evil Dead on DVD for about 9 years now. (The 2002 THX single-disc.)

I'm actually thinking of going to Wal-Mart tomorrow to see what they've got.
