Horror News: Fear the Walking Dead: The Complete Fourth Season


Pre-order: Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy
I believe I might have mentioned a time or two that I'm a fan of AMC's The Walking Dead. Even though the series hasn't been its best for the last few seasons, I still watch it for the zombie mayhem.

Despite my fondness for the series, I was never a fan of the spinoff Fear the Walking Dead until last year, when the TWD character Morgan (played by Lennie James) crossed over. After the mid-season finale, I purchased seasons one & two on DVD and season three on Blu-ray, so I could get caught up during the break. I had watched the first season when it had originally aired on AMC, but I quickly tuned out after the second episode of season two. After rewatching those three seasons, I can now understand the outcry from many fans about two specific deaths in season four! However, personally, I do believe it was for the best as it turned out to be a really good season.

Fear the Walking Dead: The Complete Fourth Season will be landing on Blu-ray (plus Digital) and DVD on March 5th. Along side Lennie James, the cast also includes Alycia Debnam-Carey, Kim Dickens, Frank Dillane, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia, Garret Dillahunt, and Jenna Elfman.

In Season 4 of “Fear the Walking Dead,” we will see the world of Madison Clark (Dickens) and her family through new eyes — the eyes of Morgan Jones (James), who is joining the story from the world of “The Walking Dead.” The characters’ immediate pasts mix with an uncertain present of struggle and discovery as they meet new friends, foes, and threats. They fight for each other, against each other, and against a legion of the dead, and work to build an existence strong enough to resist the crushing pressure of lives coming apart. There will be darkness and light; terror and grace; and the heroic, mercenary, and craven, all crashing together toward a new reality for “Fear the Walking Dead.

Blu-ray and DVD Special Features include:
  • Episode 401 Audio Commentary with Executive Producer Scott Gimple, Showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg
  • Episode 405 Audio Commentary with Director Michael Satrazemis, Actors Jenna Elfman and Garret Dillahunt
  • Episode 410 Audio Commentary with Director Michael Satrazemis and Actress Alycia Debnam-Carey
  • Episode 416 Audio Commentary with Showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg

The “Fear the Walking Dead” Season 4 Blu-ray and DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $44.99 and $39.98.

Horror News: The Purge: Season One


AMAZON (DVD, Blu-ray)
For those of you who don't already know, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment released The Purge: Season One to DVD and Blu-ray earlier this month.

The Purge TV series is a spinoff of the popular Blumhouse produced film franchise. Created by James DeMonaco, the series aired on USA last year and starred Gabriel Chavarria, Hannah Emily Anderson, Jessica Garza, Lili Simmons, Amanda Warren, Colin Woodell, and Lee Tergesen.

The series is set in a world where the government lets crimes occur for a 12-hour period once a year, which is called "The "Purge." While many people board up their windows, lock their doors, and hide, others take advantage of the night and go on killing sprees.

I didn't get a chance to watch the The Purge: Season One when it aired on USA last year, but since the series is now available to own on DVD & Blu-ray, I will be reviewing it soon.
