FREAK OUT - Released 29th May priced £16.99
THE CULT INDIE HORROR-COMEDY NOW ON DVD FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!
Set to do for serial killer genre what "Shaun Of The Dead" did for zombie flicks, the cult indie horror-comedy, FREAK OUT, comes to DVD in May as an extras-packed, two-disc edition courtesy of Anchor Bay UK. Already a massive hit on the independent film festival circuit and winner of both the Best Genre Cross Over Award at the Rhode Island International Film Festival and the Commendation Award at Manchester's International Festival of Fantastic Films, FREAK OUT has been hailed by acclaimed horror director Mick Garris (Masters Of Horror; The Shining) as "a wild, woolly sledgehammer to the face of Hollywood conformity."
Four years in the making, FREAK OUT is a hilarious and irreverent parody of the slasher genre, packed with juvenile double-entendres, witty pop-culture references and knowing nods to numerous horror classics. A treat for horror aficionados who don't take their terror too seriously, it is a must-see for splatter fans and comedy buffs alike.The two-disc edition of FREAK OUT (cert. 15) will be released on DVD (£16.99) by Anchor Bay UK on 29th May 2006.


THE ADVENTURES OF BLAKE AND MORTIMER - Released 15th May priced £24.99
FROM THE MAKERS OF TINTIN THE ANIMATED SERIES
Based on the popular comics and graphic novels by Edgar P. Jacobs, a close friend and collaborator of Tintin creator Hergé, the animated THE ADVENTURES OF BLAKE AND MORTIMER comes to DVD in May 2006 as a four-disc collection from Anchor Bay UK, featuring all 26 episodes of the celebrated series. Directed by Stephane Bernasconi (director of the 1990 animated Tintin series) and co-written by Eric Rondeaux (Excalibur; Tintin; Insektors), THE ADVENTURES OF BLAKE AND MORTIMER chronicles the mystery-solving exploits of the eponymous heroes, RAF officer and MI5 agent, Francis Percy Blake, and his gentleman scholar associate, Professor Philip Angus Mortimer.

From London to Paris, Cairo to Tokyo, Blake and Mortimer spend their days investigating the unknown and saving the world from evil dictators, crazed megalomaniacs and mad scientists, who more often than not have some nefarious connection to their notorious nemesis, the mercenary criminal adventurer Colonel Olrik. With plots involving space trips, time travel, vast journeys across land and sea and a strong undercurrent emphasising the importance of friendship and commitment to duty, THE ADVENTURES OF BLAKE AND MORTIMER has something to appeal to viewers of all ages, particularly fans of Tintin and Asterix. Having begun life in 1946 as a serialised comic strip in Tintin magazine, before being published as a series of graphic novels, THE ADVENTURES OF BLAKE AND MORTIMER has since become one of the most popular and successful series of comic books in Europe with sales in excess of 15 million copies to date.
