Genre releases include:

• Aladdin: Probably the highest selling release of the upcoming week, followed by Fahrenheit 9/11
• American Werewolf in London / Cat People: This two DVD set includes the 1980s Cat People release.
• The Best of Fox Sci-Fi: This set includes The Day The Earth Stood Still, Donnie Darko, Alien Collector's Edition, The Abyss, and the 1968 Planet of the Apes
• Best of Sci-Fi: This Warner Home Video collection includes Batman, Blade, Blade Runner, and 2001: Space Odyssey
• The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari: This is the great Kino International edition, currently on sale. I highly recommend it. I almost used this as one of my entries in the Halloween Countdown, even though it's already been reviewed, just because this edition is so much better than the Madacy edition I reviewed. The 20 minute difference in runtime makes a huge difference.
• Deep Impact: This came out around the same time as Armageddon. Coincidence?
• Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, this is a sale priced Kino International release of a movie I originally reviewed in its Madacy release. I almost rewrote a review for this, too, since the Kino edition once again seems like a completely different movie.
• Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas / Horton Hears a Who: These are animated, with nary a Carrey in sight.
• Dracula: The Series: This is a two disk set of a short lived TV series.
• The Ed Wood Box: This includes Glen or Glenda, Jail Bait, Plan Nine From Outer Space, Bride of the Monster, Night of the Ghouls, and The Haunted World of Ed Wood.
• Farscape: The Complete Fourth Season: Just in time for the TV movies. We hope.
• The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me But Your Teeth Are In My Neck: With a title like that, how can you go wrong? Directed by and starring Roman Polanski.
• Friday the 13th - From Crystal Lake to Manhattan: This is an eight movie box set.
• Frosty's Winter Wonderland / Twas the Night Before Christmas: Twas the Night Before Christmas may be my favourite Christmas special of all time. It's the one with the mice and the clock.
• German Horror Classics Collection: This includes Nosferatu (in our lineup), The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Waxworks, and The Golem, all of which are Kino releases, all of which are on sale, as is the boxed set. I've only seen the first two, but I'd recommend them.
• The Golem: This is the individual release of this German horror classic.
• Horrible Horrors Vol. 1: A collection of 8 really bad horror movies for very low cost.
• Horrible Horrors Vol. 2: And a collection of 8 more.
• The Hunger: A vampire movie with David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve
• Lady Death: The Motion Picture: I've heard of it, but not seen it.
• Mortal Kombat - Deception: This looks like a direct to video sequel. As if the second wasn't bad enough.
• Nosferatu: The Vampire (1922): The Amazon.com year for this is wrong. This is another exceptional Kino product. I'm glad I hadn't reviewed the Madacy edition before I saw this one. The review will be up this month.
• Roswell: The Complete Second Season: The title pretty much says it all.
• Stanley Kubrick Collection: This is a rerelease of a fantastic set. It contains one of the movies you'll be seeing in our Halloween countdown, as well as several others you should see.
• Stephen King's Cat's Eye: Drew Barrymore stars in this one.
• Vampyros Lesbos: Gee, I wonder what this is about?
• Veggie Tales Holiday Double Feature: I'm not particularly interested in this title, but I was amused to see that it showed up in Amazon's listings right next to Vampyros Lesbos.
• Waxworks: The fourth individual Kino International german horror film release.

Non-genre releases include:

• Best Comedy pack: This Warner home video release includes Caddyshack, Austin Powers, Blazing Saddles, Vacation, and Dumb and Dumber. The Musicals and Leading Lady collections don't list the contents on their Amazon.com pages.
• Best of Fox Action: This set includes Master and Commander, Fight Club, Last of the Mohicans, Die Hard, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
• Best of Fox Comedy: This includes Office Space, There's Something about Mary, Raising Arizona, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Young Frankenstein. (Watch for two of those in our Halloween Countdown this month.)
• Box sets for the best of the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and Best Picture Winners.
• The Chaplin Collection Vol. 1: Contains Modern Times, The Great Dictator, The Gold Rush, and Limelight, this had been released before, but this edition features a price drop.
• Fahrenheit 9/11: The Michael Moore movie
• The Jean Luc Godard Collection: He's a well known auteur and avant garde pioneer. I've only seen his Weekend, and I wasn't that impressed.
• The Michael Moore Limited Edition DVD Collector's Set: Includes special editions of Bowling for Columbine and The Big One.
• North and the South: The Complete Collection: This miniseries was made when Patrick Swayze was still getting work.
• The Shawshank Redemption: This got shafted at the Oscars that year. It's a fantastic movie, and it's held up over time far better than Pulp Fiction
• Ultimate Vacation Collection: All of the Chevy Chase movies.
• The Untouchables: All I've seen from this is the Odessa steps homage, shown in both of my film studies classes, along with the original sequence in Battleship Potempkin and the homage sequence in Naked Gun 33 1/3
