to the Flesh - 2:47pm
Look in the mirror and say it five times...if you dare! On August
17th, Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment will release a new special

a short story by Clive Barker. Presented in a newly remastered
1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer and Dolby 2.0 surround,

the "Sweets to the Sweet: The Candyman Mythos" and "Clive
Barker: Raising Hell" featurettes, storyboard comparisons
and theatrical trailers. Retail will be $19.95.
And if Candyman isn't enough to scare you, Columbia will release
the Rutger Hauer thriller Past Midnight. Featuring
an anamorphic widescreen transfer, Dolby Digital 2.0 surround
track and bonus trailers. Retail will list for $19.95. Also due
for release on the 17th is the foreign import Bon Voyage,
the tale of four very different people embroiled in a Nazi plot
to steal a top-secret formula. Presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic
widescreen and French Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, extras include
an audio commentary by director Jean-Paul Rappeneau and theatrical
trailers.
Deadtime Stories - 2:47pm
"From the mind of horror master Kevin S. Tenney" comes
two cult favorites on August 24th, courtesy of Anchor Bay Entertainment.
Remember the laugh-fests Witchboard, starring
a pre-Whitesnake Tawny Kitaen, or Night of the Demons,
featuring Linnea Quigley's infamous "lipstick in the boob"
gag? Well, now you can relive the magic again and again when both
arrive with new 1.85 anamorphic widescreen transfers, Dolby 1.0
mono and 2.0 stereo tracks, respectively, and audio commentaries
on both discs with director Kevin Tenney, executive producer Walter
Josten and producer Jeff Geoffray, plus theatrical trailers and
TV spots. Witchboard also includes a making-of featurette, while
Night of the Demons boasts the "My Demon Nights with Linnea
Quigley" featurette and the original promo reel. Retail will
cost you $19.95 a pop.
