Sleepy Hollow ... ...short story 'The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow' by Washington Irving, the film is directed by Tim Burton and it gets a few new twists with him at the helm for the big screen adaption.
I think that Burton was a great choice of director for this film as he is well known for his dark and gothic style which he consistantly uses in his films like Ed Wood, Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands and Batman, and this style of directing certainly fits ...

The Tall Man is coming!
Review of Phantasm (Limited Edition) (Collector's Box Set) by
iateamonkey
Advantages: It comes in a cool "phantasm sphere", which contains four good films - and a bonus disc!
Disadvantages: This series may not be for your run-of-the-mill horror fan - it's a cult type of series!
A. Michael Baldwin plays a kid who suspects something is up at the local cemetary - he goes to investigate and finds all kinds of weird things going on in the mortuary at the hands of the Tall Man (Angus Scrimm).
As the series goes on he grows up and tries time after time to escape the Tall Man and try and stop his evil plans for world domination, and avoid death at the hands of "THE SPHERE".

I want my MuMMY
Review of The Ultimate Mummy Collection The Mummy / The Mummy Returns (Box Set) (Wide Screen) by
SALAMANDA
Advantages: Beautifully presented and full of bonus material
Disadvantages: Only one aspect ratio
The Ultimate Mummy Collection is a fantastic addition to anyone’s DVD collection. It is a 4 DVD disc box set, packaged beautifully, even with a reversible inside to change the picture on the front. It includes The Mummy Ultimate Edition and The Mummy Returns Special Edition. Each film comes with its own separate DVD containing all the extras that will extend its life way beyond the films on their own. Each film is shown in 2.35:1 which fills the ... ...good and powerful, corresponding to the intensity of the depicted scenes. However, it is the bass that adds a massive impact and the low frequencies make it feel like the walls are moving and the ground is rumbling. I’ve watched this film on a standard television and also on a friends’ who has a surround sound set of speakers and this definitely does make a difference.

Creepy and atmospheric
Review of The Asphyx DVD by
JSpencer
Advantages: Eeire atmospher, original idea
Disadvantages: A bit dated.
...1971 - it still has the power to make you uneasy if not scared witless. The story revolves around a scientists (Robert Stephens) trying to unravel a strange phenomena that appears around recently deceased people called the Asphyx and his attempt at harnessing it's energy for the purposes of immortality. Needless to say it all goes awry. A pretty good horror movie if a little dated but you can imagine with a good director - say Ridley Scott - nowadays ...
