Savage Creatures, Color Of Magic and Hogfather


It’s a real pain being a vampire.  Undead, only coming out at night, crucifixes are deadly, garlic is a no-no and wooden stakes are guaranteed to cause the worst case of heart ‘burn’ imaginable.

Add to that the only way you can survive is to drink blood-human blood.

What happens if your blood supply is threatened?  Total bummer!

That’s the dilemma two vampire find themselves in when aliens invade the earth and turn humans into rabid zombies.  Throw in cannibals, gun totting nuns and other assorted creatures and finding your next meal as a vampire is a real challenge.

Suddenly the undead are the good guys. Who’d a thunk?

Savage Creatures sees the forces of evil collide in a truly unique take on vampires, zombies, aliens and things that go bump in the night.

It’s all courtesy of Mill Creek Entertainment on a brand new DVD/Digital Combo Pack that also includes a director commentary, a visual effect breakdown and a behind the scenes featurette.

Gods need entertainment too.  Too bad a tourist and incompetent wizard of Discworld doesn’t realize it. 

When a fire breaks out the unlikely pair of misfits are forced to join together on a magical journey orchestrated by the gods. 

Along the way they encounter barbarians, falling of the edge of Discworld, encountering dragons and facing off against the wizard’s rather nasty former classmate.

Magic and clash meet in a hilarious and imaginative journey where the gods play a board game and the wizard and tourist are the game pieces.

On the same disc as The Color Of Magic comes Hogfather. Both are tales by terry Pratchett.

Once a year kids look forward to the night the Hogfather arrives and showers them with gifts. 

But, there are evil forces out there that want nothing better to stop Hogfather and ruin the holiday for everyone.

It’s up to the most unlikely band of reluctant heroes to set things right and save Hogfather so the holiday of Hogswatch can once more be celebrated.

Both hilarious and unusual tales are on the dual film Blu-ray/Digital HD Combo Pack that also includes a few surprises.
