My second news post of the month, or 'new' as I keep accidentally calling these posts, sure makes me look professional! Starting with some Arrow Video US releases. On 10th January The Executioner Collection came to Blu-ray, which brings together two of Sonny Chiba's martial art movies (The Executioner and The Executioner II: Karate Inferno). Also released on that date was was Roger Corman's H.P Lovecraft inspired The Dunwich Horror, apparently one of the most successful film adaptations of the (racist) master's work. This stars Dean Stockwell as a man who is on a journey to retrieve the Necronomicon from the library of the Miskatonic University.
I infrequently mention the JustWatch top 10 UK streaming film and show charts, and this time around it is a top 10 for the whole year, not just a particular week. Now the top 10 film chart isn't too relevant here. Personally I was pleased to see The Batman at number 2 in the list. I guess Doctor Strange in the Multitude of Madness is a good fit, this Marvel movie is in at number 3 and included a zombified Doctor Strange for a portion of the movie. Always good to see.
The top 10 series chart is more interesting. Number 1 sees the almighty Stranger Things, the latest series was very long, but also mainly very enjoyable. This is followed by The Addams Family spin-off Wednesday in third place, as always, I have still only seen the first two episodes of this so can't really comment other than to say I'm liking it so far. Finally, in sixth place was The Walking Dead, my favourite TV show, so was good to see it made the list.

Finally for today, Vvmpyre have recently released their new full length LP, Neon Night Fright. The group are inspired by horror, with many of the tracks focussed on themes of vampirism, such as with He Will Always Be, Neon Night Fright, Surrender and Freedom of Death. Elsewhere, tracks such as Offering and Black Cube get their inspirations from cult horror such as The Omen and Susperia.
