DVD News: Not a lot of news going on with DVD sales, both sources aren’t updating. I can confirm that Scary Movie 5 was the #6 most purchased DVD this week. Also, The Vampire Diaries: Season Four, Sharknado, The Lords of Salem, and Cockneys vs. Zombies have been released for your viewing pleasure.
Television Viewership: The first week in a while where that hasn’t been a healthy helping of horror shows to choose from. As we head into the fall season, many old shows will return and new ones – most notably The Walking Dead – shall have new seasons. Can’t wait until then!
