ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT UNLEASHING THREE CLASSIC HORROR FILMS TO UMD™ FORMAT

Available November 22
 

TROY, MI – What’s better than watching movies on your PlayStation Portable™? How about watching three of the greatest horror films ever made? Taking a cue from the overwhelming success of its initial foray into the UMD™ (Universal Media Disc) format, Anchor Bay Entertainment, an IDT Entertainment Company, continues this ‘new’ tradition with three contemporary horror classics. On November 22nd, Dawn of the Dead, Children of the Corn and Hellraiser will be released on UMD™. Each disc carries an SRP of $19.98.

Designed for the PlayStation Portable™ handheld entertainment system, UMD provides a picture that is crisp and clear as well as being portable. And with this trio of terror on UMD, it will now be possible to take the fear with you – anywhere, anytime!

CHILDREN OF THE CORN - Something unspeakable is alive in the cornfields of rural Gatlin, Nebraska, where a boy preacher has led the village’s children in a slaughter of all the adults. But when a traveling couple (Linda Hamilton of The Terminator films and Peter Horton of “thirtysomething”) stumble across this deserted town, they become prisoners of child madman Isaac, his henchman Malachai and their kid cult of unholy believers. Judgment Day has arrived!

DAWN OF THE DEAD - The most shocking motion picture experience for all times. As modern society is consumed by a zombie plague, four desperate survivors barricade themselves inside a shopping mall to battle the flesh-eating hordes of the undead. This is the ferocious horror classic, written and directed by Master of Horror George A. Romero and featuring landmark gore effects by Tom Savini, which remains one of the most important – and most controversial – horror films ever.

HELLRAISER – Horror as only famed author/director Clive Barker can film! In a place between pleasure and pain, there is a sensual experience beyond limits. And in a world between paradise and purgatory, there is a horror that feeds the souls of evil.
