Stine, Goosebumps (www.scholastic.com/goosebumps) has been published in over 32 languages and sold more than 300 million copies worldwide.  Adapted for TV by Scholastic Entertainment, the series aired on Fox Kids Network, where it was rated #1 for four seasons, and aired in over 100 countries. Episodes of the live action television series returned to the small screen in 2007 on Cartoon Network and instantly became a sensation. Momentum for the property continues with a new Goosebumps HorrorLand™ book series that began hitting retail in March, a highly anticipated video game from Scholastic Interactive that is scheduled to debut this Fall, and the recently announced Goosebumps theatrical release.   

 

These three new Goosebumps DVD titles – now newly repackaged -  include such terrifying adventures and monster mysteries as a haunted medieval torture chamber, a roller coaster ride of terror, the discovery of strange glowing green goo and more frightening tales. Each frightful Goosebumps DVD features several bone-chilling episodes and will be available for the suggested retail price of $14.98 U.S. / $15.98 Canada – plus Fox Home Entertainment will be offering a special on-pack discount offer to buy two of these new Goosebumps titles, get $3.00 off the next purchase of any Goosebumps titles; or buy all three, get $6.00 off other Goosebumps titles.

“A Tight, Propulsive, Action Thriller!”
– San Francisco Chronicle

 

CENTURY CITY, Calif.  – On the streets of Los Angeles, every cop wants justice.  But how they get it is what sets them apart.  Fox Home Entertainment presents a gripping and pulse-pounding look at police corruption where no one can be trusted when Street Kings debuts on DVD and Blu-Ray August 19.  Starring Keanu Reeves (The Matrix Trilogy, Speed) and Oscarâ winner Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland, Vantage Point), Street Kings follows veteran LAPD Detective Tom Ludlow (Reeves), a disillusioned cop who sets out on a quest to solve the murder of his former partner.  With the help of his boss and mentor Captain Jack Wander (Whitaker), Ludlow begins a crusade to serve his own form of justice, breaking the rules of conduct on a regular basis and avoiding the watchful eye of Internal Affairs Captain James Biggs (Hugh Laurie; “House”).  In the end Ludlow will be forced to question the loyalties of everyone involved and the truth will finally come to pass.

 

Directed by David Ayer (Harsh Times) from a story by James Ellroy (L.A. Confidential, The Black Dahlia), Street Kings features an array of intense supporting performances from Chris Evans (Fantastic Four), Common (American Gangster), The Game (Waist Deep), and Cedric The Entertainer (Code Name: The Cleaner). Available on single-disc, two-disc and Blu-Ray DVD, special features include commentary by Ayer, deleted and alternate scenes, ten vignettes and more. The Street Kings two-disc DVD will be available for a suggested retail price of $34.98 U.S. / $45.98 Canada and on BD for $39.98 U.S. / $49.98 Canada, both featuring digital copy.  Additionally, a single-disc version will be available for a suggested retail price of $29.98 U.S. / $43.48 Canada.
