THE EVIL DEAD: GROOVY COLLECTION 4K UHD

There have been so many releases of the Evil Dead franchise that it’s nearly impossible to be a completist. While the new THE EVIL DEAD: GROOVY COLLECTION from Lionsgate is missing Army of Darkness, it has a beautiful-looking packaging housing the first two films in 4K restorations. The inclusion of the entire TV series sweetens the deal.

The ultimate collector’s edition, THE EVIL DEAD GROOVY COLLECTION will be available on 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital for the suggested retail price of $79.99, and can be purchased here.

 

DEXTER: THE COMPLETE SERIES on Blu-ray

Need something a little less supernatural horror and more realistic, murder-murder stabby-stabby horror? The Blu-ray set of DEXTER: THE COMPLETE SERIES may be a good one to snag for friends and fam. Dexter Morgan is back with a limited series and it’s still up in the air if it makes up for the controversial original series finale. However, that shouldn’t stop anyone from revisiting the series in all its bloody glory. Paramount has reissued the complete series in a shelf-friendly set that’s a must-own for fans.

DEXTER: THE COMPLETE SERIES current listing price is at $104.99, with Amazon pricing it at $114.99, which can be purchased here!

 

Horrified: American Monsters Board Game

From Ravensburger, the team behind 2019’s Horrified board game is back with an American Monsters edition. From Bigfoot to the Wendigo to the Mothman, there’s plenty of fun monstrous tidbits to take away from this exciting board game. The more creatures that are on the board, the harder it’ll be for players, but that’s where the fun comes into play. Highly recommend! The game is suggested for ages 10 and up, so if you have any older younglings, this might be a fun monster-filled time for the family during the holidays.

Horrified: American Monsters is now available for pre-order for $34.99 here!

Introduce them to Tubi

While Shudder has been the must-have fave streaming service for horror, tubi has stealthily climbed its way up into horror fans’ hearts. Why? Their horror selection is rather extensive, featuring classic and modern thrills and chills.  You can watch the movies as well for free! All you have to do is set up an account and away you go! The catch is that there are ads but, given their decent selection of goodies, that’s definitely something you can workaround.

SHUDDER Gift Subscription

Shudder is the streaming service for horror fans. Featuring new originals, old classics, and movies too weird not to watch, any horror fan who isn’t already signed up for this horror service would love a subscription just in time to ring in All Hallow’s Eve with the famous Ghoul Log.

Shudder has incredibly flexible plans for membership, where you can either pay monthly to stream or do one lump sum annually. As a note, Nightmarish Conjurings’ Editor-in-Chief does the annual plan because the breakdown per month is cheaper.
