THE SKELETON KEY

Universal is hoping to recoup some of the revenue that the box office run for The Skeleton Key (see Arrow’s review) didn’t make with the release of the DVD. Hitting shelves on November 15th, the mixed-review Horror/Thriller will at least provide 2 hours of Eye-Candy in Kate Hudson. The cover art also ain ‘t too shabby if I may say so myself. Here’s what else can be found locked inside the DVD…

Includes:

Presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen
English, French and Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks
Over 20 minutes of scenes not shown in theaters
An audio commentary with director Iain Softley
A KateHudson’s Ghost Story featurette
An Exploring Voodoo/Hoodoo featurette
A making of featurette
A Blues in the Bayou featurette

Surprisingly enough, The Skeleton key isn’t going along with the rest of the recently released horror DVD’s and it’s sticking to it’s PG-13 rating Click here to pre-order the DVD…

THE HILARIOUS HOUSE OF FRIGHTENSTEIN
