(OCT 14) Screamityville [Blu-ray]
(Blu-ray / NR / 2025 / Borderline Media)
Overview: Screamityville is an 84 minute tour of some of the creepiest and most creative Halloween themed houses. It recreates the experience of driving around on a late October evening in search of your favorite decorated homes in your neighborhood.
However, in Screamityville ... they could be your favorite, or your worst nightmare. The program is set to a soundtrack of eerie ambiance and spooky sound effects.
Blu-ray Verdict: Direct from the creators of Christmas Lights comes a brilliantly wonderfully, wholly effective, and deliciously fun 84-minute tour through some gloriously Halloween-themed houses accompanied by atmospheric music, chilling sound effects and, of course, so maniacal voiceovers.
So instead of putting on an old Halloween movie this spooky season when the kids arrive to rob you of your candy, put this disc in and allow the most perfect ever background viewing for your Halloween party to kick in and do the hauntingly atmospheric job for you!
What we get to see are literally dozens of spectacular homes, each fully decked out to celebrate the thrills and chills of the season. And trust me when I say that if you sit and watch this - which you will at some point, instead of having it just as background - you will quickly see just how far these homeowners have taken things!
Far beyond simply placing a pumpkin on the porch for there are numerous front yards which are covered in elaborate and overwhelming displays of tombstones, skeletons, jack-o-lanterns, humongous spiders, ghastly ghouls, and anything else that goes bump in the night!
A wicked clown house will reinforce your suspicions and phobias. Glowing ghosts float through the trees and creepy cemeteries. Cobwebs, smoke, and strobe lights enhance the gory and horrifying effects that turn sweet suburban front yards into supernatural wonderlands.
So yes, Borderline Media may well have announced the North American premiere of this excellent curated Screamityville: A Bone Chilling Celebration of Halloween’s Most Haunted Houses production on Blu-ray, but it will be you that takes all the plaudits once people see and hear what is playing in your house, trust me!
