So many movies, so little time. Actually, that’s not true; now that these titles are coming into stores, they can come into your home, and you can watch them for all eternity. Especially if you’re like Will Smith in I Am Legend and have all the time in the world to kill. If you have a bit more time and are looking for a little fright to fulfill this Easter season, then check out the After Dark HorrorFest full of eight great titles to stand your “hare” on end. Har-de-har-har! Or maybe seasons of Married With Children, The Untouchables, or A Pup Named Scooby-Doo are more your “eggs-estential” taste. I’ve got a bunch of them folks, but won’t torture you anymore so grab a “basket” full and enjoy all the new releases this week.
After Dark delivered in the fall of 2006 with “8 films to die for,” and then did it again in November of 2007 with “8 more films to die for.” Enjoy the thrills, chills, and horror that aren’t usually seen in today’s horror films but are here since there is nothing held back.
