We've got a bit of catching-up to do with different news tidbits for various
Masters of Horror releases. First of all, we've seen some confusion out there concerning the release date for
Masters of Horror - Season 1, Volume 4 on Blu-ray Disc. Some of our readers think the release date is December 4th, because of
the pre-order listing at DVDEmpire.com. Others think it's on December 11th, the date shown at most other online retailers, including
the pre-order listing at Amazon.com. The 11th is what was originally announced, and the date we've passed along to our readers in the past, but some think that Starz/Anchor Bay might be moving the date. Right now, we feel the matter is settled by looking at
Anchor Bay's website listing for the title...which continues to show
December 11th.
But before the fourth volume can hit on BD, the
Masters of Horror - Season 1, Volume 3 Blu-ray Disc has to come out, and it's on track for a
November 13th release. Below we've got your first hi-res 3-D look at the package for Vol. 3. Then, below that we're turning back to the DVDs and the official press release for the
December 11th home video debut of
Masters of Horror - The V Word (Ernest Dickerson), which ends the second season of the show. No art for that one yet, but we'll include it in a future update.

MASTERS OF HORROR SEASON TWO
CULMINATES WITH
ERNEST DICKERSON'S
"THE V WORD"
The word is out December 11th on DVD
BURBANK, CA; October 16, 2007 – What happens to a friendship when it's put to the test? Or when one friend beckons another friend to share his addiction? When that addiction is warm human blood and your friend is a genuine vampire, then this clash-of-wills means only one thing: the
Masters of Horror are on the job! From Ernest Dickerson, the director of
Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight and
Bones, comes a tale of friendship and fear, of horror and hormones, and how far one friend will go to save – or damn – the other with the December 11th premiere of "
The V Word" on DVD from Anchor Bay Entertainment. "
The V Word" concludes the second season of the lauded (awards include an Emmy®, two Saturn Awards and a Scream Award) anthology series that broke the rules and reaped worldwide praise for its groundbreaking excursions into horror.

The V Word" DVD has an anemic SRP of $14.98.
Written by series creator and Co-Executive Producer Mick Garris, "
The V Word" puts a grisly twist on teenage vampirism. For geeky best friends Kerry (Arjay Smith) and Justin (Branden Nadon), who've only experienced carnage via their video games, it's the ultimate late night dare: they want to see a real corpse. But when the pair breaks into a local mortuary, they unleash a ferocious ghoul (Michael Ironside,
Scanners, Starship Troopers) who's hungry to share a few depraved urges of his own. Soon, besides contending with the most dreaded of teen fears – peer pressure – they must now face the kind that might curse their souls for eternity! Jodelle Ferland (
Silent Hill) co-stars.
