Universal has announced plans to bring the horror film “The Strangers” to Blu-ray Disc on October 21st, just in time for Halloween. The technical specs so far show this going only receive a BD-25 treatment, AVC MPEG-4 video and DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio sound. The film is inspired by true events (as the poster, artwork says) and stars Liv Tyler. The current overall rating for this over at IMDb is at 6.8 (out of 10) which looks promising despite the bad theatrical critics’ reviews. We’ll update this post when the pre-order is listed over at Amazon, stay tuned!

Starz is planning to release the computer animated “Dead Space: Downfall” to Blu-ray Disc on October 28th which serves as a prequel for the upcoming EA (Electronic Arts) video game “Dead Space” — slated to be released a week earlier on PS3 (oddly enough).

Tags: George A. Romero, The Weinstein Company
The Weinstein Company (distributed through Genius Products) plans to release horror legend George A. Romero’s “Diary of the Dead” on Blu-ray Disc this October 21st. No details yet on the tech specs of this release but judging from their currently planned titles I’d say it should be getting BD-50 AVC MPEG-4 treatment and possibly Dolby TrueHD 5.1 but likely only Dolby Digital. Stay tuned to this post, we’ll let you know when the pre-order listing is available on Amazon and more details surface on the release itself.
On the subject: The Weinstein Company apparently does have plans to bring out Rob Zombie’s remake of “Halloween” to Blu-ray the very same day as this latest Romero film — October 21st. Also a week later on October 28th the company plans to release the 2008 film “Hell Ride” Directed by (as well as starring) Larry Bishop and co-starring Dennis Hopper.

Tags: BD Market Share, Home Media Magazine
We’ve noticed in this week’s issue of Home Media Magazine that the Market Share for Blu-ray Disc has almost doubled to an impressive 12% for the week ending July 13th. This is up 5% from last week’s 7% Market Share rating. This comes really as no surprise with the huge amount of sales lately for “Batman Begins” on Blu-ray with the sequel currently in theaters. Which leads me to saying again, it’s not surprising that “Batman Begins” was the best-selling title in it’s standard edition and in the #3 spot with the “Limited Edition Giftset” version.
