Shattering all-time records at the box office, the highly anticipated hit sequel from Blumhouse Productions, FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S 2 comes to 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on 9th March 2026, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment in partnership with Spirit Entertainment. Dive deeper into the world of Freddy Fazbear at home as the dark and mysterious thrill ride now comes jam-packed with revealing cast interviews, a jaw-dropping look behind the scenes at how fan-favorite animatronics like Mangle and Marionette came to life on screen, and an exploration of the Easter eggs dotting nearly every scene of the new movie.

Director Emma Tammi and writer and original franchise creator Scott Cawthon return, bringing the world a darker, more bone-chilling vision blending new characters and lore with longtime franchise favorites. The second installment of the remarkable horror phenomenon, FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S 2 breaks the boundaries of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria for the first time as the nightmare enters the outside world.

SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT [2025] - Available now on Digital and on Disc, March

Christmas has come very early (or a little late) for horror fans - SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT, the irresistible horror chiller from the producers of Terrifier 2 and 3, is released on Home Premiere from 26th January, and Blu-ray & DVD from 2nd March. Starring rising genre stars Rohan Campbell (The Monkey, Halloween Ends) and Ruby Modine (Happy Deathday), this stylishly made shocker is written and directed by Mike P Nelson (Wrong Turn, V/H/S/85). 

A remake of the infamous 80’s Santa slasher, SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT is fresh, funny and packed with wildly inventive sequences, including a reworking of the original film’s antlers killing and a barn dance massacre that’ll make your jaw hit the floor. With a fabulous score from Blitz//Berlin (Psycho Goreman); there are also subtle nods towards horror classics including Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. In amongst the swathe of gruesome kills and unbearable tension, there's room for a touching romance. This is horror with a heart, albeit one with an axe sticking out of it.

SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT reimagines a 1984 cult horror classic in which a young boy witnesses the murder of his parents at the hands of a man dressed as Santa, only to grow up and become a killer himself. Haunted by trauma and fuelled by a twisted sense of justice, he dons the red suit, turning the advent calendar into a series of nights of terror. As Christmas Eve approaches, a small town becomes his latest hunting ground, where the naughty and bad pay the ultimate price 

Campbell and Modine put in superb lead performances, with support from David Lawrence Brown (Orphan: First Kill), David Tomlinson (Psycho Killer), Sharon Bajer (Dark Harvest) and Mark Acheson (Brand New Cherry Flavour). 

SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT will be available to buy and rent from digital platforms on 26th January, on DVD and Blu-ray from 2nd March.

V/H/S/HALLOWEEN - On Disc and Digital, Feb...

Experience spooky season again and again as the latest incarnation of the lauded V/H/S horror anthology series is set to arrive for its eighth chilling outing – V/H/S/HALLOWEEN. The latest haunting incarnation features five new spine-chilling segments and is set to delight and disgust horror junkies when it arrives on Blu-ray, DVD and digital on 9 February, courtesy of Acorn Media International.

 

V/H/S/HALLOWEEN introduces a collection of wickedly watchable tales of terror from a host of renowned filmmakers including Bryan M. Ferguson (Pumpkin Guts), Anna Zlokovic (Appendage), Paco Plaza (Verónica, [Rec]), Casper Kelly (Adult Swim Yule Log), Alex Ross Perry (Her Smell), Micheline Pitt-Norman (Grummy) and R.H. Norman (Haji).

 

Kicking off with COOCHIE COOCHIE COO, written and directed by Anna Zlokovic – we meet two high school trick or treaters, dressed as babies who come face to face with a malevolent spirit known as ‘The Mommy’ – an urban legend who supposedly kidnaps children from their homes on the spookiest night of the year.

 

Next up is Paco Plaza’s UT SUPRA SIC INFRA where Enric – the sole survivor of a Halloween party massacre – accompanies police to the original crime scene to try and help them reconstruct the events of that fateful night – but unbeknownst to them, evil entities await them inside.

 

Halloween candy takes on a new life in Casper Kelly’s FUN SIZE, as four friends on the hunt for sweet treats are swallowed up by a candy bowl. They emerge in a parallel reality where sweets rule supreme and humans are turned into sugary snacks.

 

KIDPRINT – from writer-director Alex Ross Perry – takes an even darker turn, feeding into the all too real fear of kidnappings. When disturbing secrets about a local video store that specialises in creating video IDs which can be used to help search for missing children come to light, every parent’s worst fears are about to come true.

 

A homemade house of horrors comes to life in Micheline Pitt-Norman and R.H. Norman’s HOME HAUNT as a family construct their annual haunted house for Halloween. But the fun ritual takes a deadly turn when a spooky stolen record makes the decorations come to life, wreaking paranormal havoc on the guests.

 

Bryan M. Ferguson’s frame narrative DIET PHANTASMA weaves through the feature, with each segment documenting a group of taste trial participants who face life-threatening side effects from a new kind of diet soda.

 

Grab your sweet bucket and press play on V/H/S/HALLOWEEN for another round of truly disturbing found footage nightmares centred around every horror fiend’s favourite time of the year.
