On November 19, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will be available to own on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD from online and physical retailers. It will also continue to be available to own in high definition and standard definition from participating digital retailers.
Keaton returns to his iconic role alongside Oscar nominee Winona Ryder (Stranger Things, Little Women) as Lydia Deetz and two-time Emmy winner Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek, The Nightmare Before Christmas) as Delia Deetz, with new cast members Justin Theroux (Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi, The Leftovers), Monica Bellucci (Spectre, The Matrix films), Arthur Conti (House of the Dragon) in his feature film debut, with Emmy nominee Jenna Ortega (Wednesday, Scream VI) as Lydia’s daughter, Astrid, and Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe (Poor Things, At Eternity’s Gate).

Here’s the official plot synopsis: “After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened. With trouble brewing in both realms, it’s only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice’s name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem.”
Ketchup Entertainment’s Hellboy: The Crooked Man hits the reboot button on the comic book franchise, with Jack Kesy (12 Strong) taking over the title role this time around.
You can digitally purchase the new movie for $19.99 on Amazon right now.
Hellboy: The Crooked Man is “set in the 1950s and costars Adeline Rudolph (Resident Evil) as a rookie agent of the BPRD who teams up with Hellboy to protect the residents of Appalachia from the creepy Crooked Man, who is collecting souls for the devil.”
Mike Mignola co-wrote the new Hellboy film with Christopher Golden.
Brian Taylor (Crank, Gamer, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Mom and Dad) directed the movie for Millennium, based on a Hellboy mini-series from 2008. The story is said to “expand Hellboy’s world through one of the most beloved issues of the comic series.”
Jefferson White (Yellowstone) stars alongside Kesy and Rudolph as Tom Ferrel, Leah McNamara as Effie Kolb, Joseph Marcell as Reverend Watts, Hannah Margetson as Cora Fisher, and Martin Bassindale as the Crooked Man, among others.
In the tradition of mockumentary horror movies including Ghostwatch, WNUF Halloween Special and Late Night With the Devil comes Haunted Ulster Live, which takes viewers back to Halloween Night 1998, where a live broadcast from a haunted house goes hauntingly wrong.
The Halloween-themed horror movie Haunted Ulster Live released across all on-demand platforms, including Bloody Disgusting’s own SCREAMBOX streaming service, today.
In Haunted Ulster Live, “A Northern Ireland TV veteran teams up with a popular new children’s presenter to investigate poltergeist activity in a reputedly haunted house in Belfast. Light entertainment turns to horror when an unseen terror reveals itself.”
The UK found footage film marks the feature debut of writer-director Dominic O’Neill.
Mark Claney, Aimee Richardson, and Siobhan Kelly star.
A masked maniac targets cast members at a suburban Halloween haunt attraction in Haunt Season, released onto VOD outlets today by Epic Pictures’ horror label DREAD.
Haunt Season was filmed on-location at a working Midwest haunted house during its Halloween season. The film utilizes practical effects and jaw-dropping SFX makeup to achieve its terrifying kills. The film features prominent YouTube stars Rob Scallon and Craig Benzine.
In the film from writer/director Jake Jarvi, “A masked maniac targets cast members at a suburban Halloween haunt attraction, turning their staged injuries into gruesome real-life horrors. As the terror escalates, the lines between performance and reality blur.”
Stephen Kristof, Jeremy Warner (Reporting for Christmas), Katelin Stack (The Evil Three, Evil Lurks, The Natural) and Adam Hinkle (Chicago Fire) also star.
After screening at over 60 film festivals worldwide, the documentary Alien On Stage is now available on VOD outlets in the U.S. and Canada including Fandango at Home.
Alien On Stage is a documentary about a unique crew of Dorset Bus Drivers whose amateur dramatics group decide to ditch doing another pantomime and try something different.
Having never done anything like it before, they spent a year creating a serious adaptation of ALIEN, finding ingenious solutions to pay homemade homage to the original film.
The show is a crushing flop but fate gives them a second chance to find their audience. Whilst still adjusting to the idea that their serious show is actually a comedy, the group find out they’re suddenly being whisked from their village hall to a London West End theatre to perform this accidental masterpiece for one night only.
With wobbly sets, awkward acting and special effects requiring ‘more luck than judgement,’ will their West End debut be alright on the night? Watch the trailer below for a sneak peek.
The latest release from Entertainment Squad’s genre label The Horror Collective, supernatural horror movie The Unraveling was also released onto VOD outlets today, October 8.
Directed by Kd Amond and starring Sarah Zanotti, The Unraveling follows a woman who, after suffering a traumatic brain injury from a car accident, becomes convinced that her husband has been replaced by an impostor…
Haunted by a gruesome presence and mysterious phone calls from someone claiming to be the “real” husband, she is thrust into a nightmare where she must navigate a labyrinth of fear, deception, and her own fragile sanity.
The film also stars Sam Brooks (Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy, CW’s Stargirl, Malum).
What if Jason Voorhees had a son? That looks to be the general idea behind indie slasher movie Slasher, the final new horror movie released onto VOD outlets at home today.
In the throwback slasher movie, “When a group of unsuspecting travelers crosses his path, the son of an infamous masked slasher faces a harrowing choice: walk away from his family’s violent history or don a new mask and carve his own gruesome legacy.”
Slasher is written and directed by Alberto Armas Díaz.
Sergio Alguacil, Fabiola Munoz, and Mario Gallardo star.
