Shout Factory has become the Criterion Collection for horror and B movies, or – if nothing else – the company that Anchor Bay tried to be on DVD. Recently they’ve released some John Carpenter films that he either produced or directed. They are the magnificent They Live, with “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, Meg Foster and Keith David, and the first two Halloween sequels, Halloween II and Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Our reviews of all these Blu-rays follow after the jump.

This week on Blu-ray is an embarrassment of riches with all four Indiana Jones films, the new horror classic The Cabin in the Woods, a Criterion Collection edition of David Fincher’s The Game, Tim Burton’s wonderfully offbeat drama Ed Wood, and much more.  Briefly:

• The Cabin In The Woods [Blu-ray + Digital Copy] – $19.96 (43% off)
• Chico & Rita Collector’s Edition (Three-Disc Blu-ray/DVD/CD Soundtrack Combo) –$34.99 (12% off)
• Ed Wood [Blu-ray] – $12.99 (35% off)
• The Game (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] – $24.99 (37% off)
• Halloween II (Collector’s Edition) [Blu-ray / DVD] – $19.99 (33% off)
• Halloween III: Season of the Witch (Collector’s Edition) [Blu-ray] – $19.99 (33% off)
• Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures [Blu-ray] – $64.99 (35% off)
• Judge Dredd [Blu-ray] – $12.99 (35% off)
• Katy Perry The Movie: Part of Me (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo +Digital Copy) – $16.99 (58% off)

Hit the jump for details on all the aforementioned new Blu-ray releases.

It would seem the Weinstein Company is growing antsy in the wake of an under-performing opening weekend for “Halloween II,” Rob Zombie’s latest entry to the rebooted franchise. IMDb reports the slasher has come in with $17.4M thus far, putting it well behind “The Final Destination” and “Inglourious Basterds,” which is in its second weekend. Apparently, this figure is enough to merit a sequel, but not with horror powerhouse Rob Zombie at the helm. More details after the jump.
