My Bloody Valentine & Maximum Overdrive Mugs from Gutter Garbs
Horror fans are spoiled by a constant deluge of horror collectibles these days, as evidenced by this column every week, but I’m always impressed when a company does something outside of the norm — like Gutter Garbs’s new ceramic mugs.
The line is launching with My Bloody Valentine’s Harry Warden and the Maximum Overdrive truck, which are expected to ship in late November/early December.
My Bloody Valentine measures 7.1×4.7×4.7″ and has a 21.5-ounce capacity. Maximum Overdrive measures 5.9×4.3×4.3″ and has a 27.5-ounce capacity. They’re $20 each.
The Black Phone & Cocaine Bear 4K UHDs from Universal
The Black Phone and Cocaine Bear inexplicably didn’t receive 4K Ultra HD editions when their respective Blu-rays dropped, but Universal is upgrading both titles on September 19.
Based on a short story by Joe Hill, The Black Phone is directed by Scott Derrickson (Sinister, Doctor Strange) from a script he penned with writing partner C. Robert Cargill. Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies, and James Ransone star. Blumhouse produces.
Cocaine Bear is directed by Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect 2) and written by Jimmy Warden (The Babysitter: Killer Queen). Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Christian Convery, Alden Ehrenreich, Brooklynn Prince, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Margo Martindale, and Ray Liotta star.
Existing special features will be included for both titles, including audio commentaries, making-of featurettes, deleted scenes, and more.
The Walking Dead: The Complete Collection Blu-ray from Lionsgate
The Walking Dead: The Complete Collection will be released on Blu-ray (with Digital) on October 17 via Lionsgate. If you didn’t collect the individual seasons, this is a convenient way to get all 177 episodes for only $149.99.
The 54-disc box set features artwork by Oliver Barrett. Based on the comic by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard, the AMC series ran for 11 seasons between 2010 and 2022.
The Walking Dead: Making of the Final Season is included along with all the bonus content (commentaries, featurettes, deleted scenes, and more) from the previous individual season releases.
