The week kicks off with the arrival of Paul Feig’s new Ghostbusters in a fully loaded special edition set. In addition to the regular Blu-ray, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is also releasing a 4K and 3D version. You can even take an early look at one of the release’s special features with our exclusive clip at the bottom of this page. It goes behind the scenes, looking at the electrocuted ghost that the team encounters in the subway. Check it out in the player below!
Other recent big screen releases coming home October 11 include the animated adventure Ice Age: Collision Course, the jungle blockbuster The Legend of Tarzan, the Mel Gibson led action thriller Blood Father and director Brad Furman’s The Infiltrator, starring Bryan Cranston as an undercover agent who, in the 1980s, attempted to infiltrate the drug network of Pablo Escobar.
October 11 also brings us a domestic home video release for Blinky Bill: The Movie, the family-friendly Australian animated feature film that hit theaters down under last year.
New releases hitting DVD only include the recent Hong Kong horror thriller Phantom of the Theatre, the Mount Everest documentary Sherpa and the thriller Broken Vows, starring Wes Bentley, Jaimie Alexander and Cam Gigandet.
The Criterion Collection this week adds their third Richard Linklater title as a new edition of Boyhood joins the previously released Slacker and Dazed and Confused. The week also sees the first ever HD release for Robert Altman’s incredible 1971 western McCabe and Mrs. Miller, starring Warren Beatty and Julie Christie and backed by the music of Leonard Cohen.
Two more film classics are joined together for the Gregory Peck Centennial Collection. The new set includes both Cape Fear and To Kill a Mockingbird as well as some collectible photos and poster reproductions.
With Halloween just over two weeks away, October 11 also continues the month’s delivery of horror titles. Shout! Factory’s Scream Factory line continues with two new editions of must-own classics. Look for impressively-loaded collectors editions of both John Carpenter’s The Thing and Brian DePalma’s Carrie. Meanwhile, Arrow Films has their double feature arriving with both Wes Craven’s The Hills Have Eyes and Hideo Nakata’s Dark Water.
On the small screen, October 11 brings home the sixth season of both Cartoon Network‘s Adventure Time and of IFC‘s Portlandia (the latter arrives on DVD only). There’s also DVD only first season sets of both the Ken Jeong sitcom Dr Ken and of the stop-motion animated superhero comedy Super Mansion.
As we gear up for the holiday season, there’s also a number of complete series sets arriving. Look for, on Blu-ray, Hannibal, Knight Rider and Miami Vice, while, on DVD only, we’re getting newly-released sets for Bitten, Kolchak: The Night Stalker, Monk, Sliders and The Twilight Zone.
Digital HD titles debuting October 11 include Warner Bros. Pictures’ recent horror hit Lights Out, the well-received thriller Nerve (starring Emma Roberts and Dave Franco), the recent biopic Papa Hemingway in Cuba and the original animated adventure Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders, which features the return of Adam West and Burt Ward as the voices of Batman and Robin.
