Underworld Trilogy
(Underworld / Evolution / Rise of the Lycans)

Amazon Price: $34.99 (as of 12/03/2009)

Released May 2009 - vampires, werewolves, action

This set comes with all three Underworld movies: Underworld; the sequel, Underworld: Evolution; and the prequel, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Watch the war between vampires and lycans begin, then watch Kate Beckinsale kick ass in a skin-tight outfit.

My Bloody Valentine 3D
(2-disc special edition)

Amazon Price: $13.99 (as of 12/03/2009)

Released May 2009 - slasher, gore

Since this is one of the few movies available in 3-D, it makes a good gift just for the novelty factor. The grossness is upped by rendering the bloodshed in 3-D, so it's an especially great gift for gorehounds.

Hellraiser: Boxed Set

Released Apr 2009 - supernatural, gore

The original Hellraiser is a classic horror movie based on a story by acclaimed author Clive Barker. This set contains the first three movies and comes in a cool puzzle box that fans and collectors will love.

Splinter

Amazon Price: $21.49 (as of 12/03/2009)

Released Apr 2009 - monster flick, body horror, claustrophobic suspense

I caught the last half of this movie on TV, and WOW! I love the monster. This film mostly uses makeup special effects instead of CG, and I really appreciate it. Splinter is a suspenseful movie that I totally recommend.

My Name Is Bruce
