The odds that you’ll be reading a review of The Hunger Games saga on our site this week are ever in your favor. Lionsgate has given each of the four flicks in the blockbuster YA franchise — The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay: Part 1 and Part 2 — spiffy new 4K releases, so keep an eye out for what we have to say. Meanwhile, RLJ Entertainment is looking for payback with Kickboxer: Vengeance, and Showtime puts its money where its mouth is with Billions: Season 1.

This week, we are boldly going where no Tuesday Round Up has gone before: November 2016! Yes, it's a new month, and we're excited to announce that you will soon be able to read our review of Paramount's Star Trek Beyond, which arrives to us in spiffy 4K. And from the furthest reaches of outer space we go to...the American West. Entertainment One gets us back on track with Hell on Wheels: Season 5, Volume 2.
Even though it's a brand new month, the same reminder still applies here: if you’re shopping for anything on Amazon and you do it through one of our links, it’ll help keep the lights on here at UpcomingDiscs. See ya next week!

I won't keep you in the dark much longer: the final Tuesday Round Up of October features one of this year's surprise horror hits. My face lit up when I saw that Warner Bros. was kind enough to send us a copy of Lights Out, and you can already check out our review here. On top of that, we've already posted our takes for Suddenly (courtesy of Film Detective) and The Midnight Swim (from Passion River Films). Passion River also goes for a stroll with the Girl in Woods. Finally, Lionsgate cooks up a warm family drama with Mr. Church and gets into some action/comedy hijinks with Skiptrace.
Even though this is our last Tuesday Round Up of the spooky season, there are still plenty of thrills and chills to be had on our site. Keep checking back each day for our "31 Nights of Terror" and enter to win a free prize in our many contests.

Most of the time we're telling you what we think here at Upcomingdiscs. I thought it would be nice to use 31 Nights Of Terror to let you hear what the filmmakers themselves have to say. We have talked to many of them over the years. Take some time to "chill" with some masters of horror.
Sara Karloff has been keeping the memory of her father alive for decades. Boris Karloff was one of the true masters of horror. Sara's a friend and it's always great to talk with her. Join us for one of those talks. Sara Karloff Interview

While it may not technically be eligible for our “31 Nights of Terror”, one of our entries this week absolutely qualifies as a horror show. Everything that can go wrong, does go wrong for the young protagonist in HBO's The Night Of. But let's not forget that it's still October, so we've got a double feature more suitable for the spooky season. Vestron brings some familiar monsters to life with its Waxwork Collector's Series, which includes both Waxwork and Waxwork II: Lost in Time.

Look who's swinging into UpcomingDiscs HQ this week! (And he's doing it in an extra dimension.) Warner Bros. reacquaints us with The Legend of Tarzan 3D, which headlines our latest Tuesday Round Up. Elsewhere, Lionsgate gets paternal and protective with Blood Father, and Allied brings the heat with She Who Must Burn.

Welcome to the first Tuesday Round Up of October! You've probably noticed that the spooky season is in full swing around these parts thanks to our “31 Nights of Terror” and we're going to keep the monster mayhem going thanks to Showtime's Penny Dreadful: The Final Season. In other horror-related news, Level 33 leave us in scary hands with The Caretaker, while Allied Entertainment giddily declares OMG...We're in a Horror Movie. RLJ Entertainment sees things through The Mind's Eye, and Lionsgate digs deep with 6 Plots. (You're in luck: enter to win a copy of 6 Plots by clicking here!) Magnolia bedevils us with Satanic and (in non-horror news) pays respect to The Last King.
Anchor Bay sows some Wild Oats, and Time Life stays up late for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: The Vault Series — Archive Collection (which features the incomparable Joan Embery, who we got to chat with recently). Finally, HBO bids an action-packed farewell to Banshee: The Final Season.

It's getting to be that time of year. The color orange and the sheer number of pumpkin spice-flavored offerings are about to officially become overwhelming. That's right...it's almost October, which also means the arrival of the spooky season. As always, we'll have plenty more on that front once October properly kicks off. But in the meantime, this week's Round Up is highlighted by a pair of creepy throwback flicks. Lionsgate takes a violent trip to the Chopping Mall and has a killer meal at the Blood Diner. Meanwhile, ABC/Disney is on the case with The Catch: Season 1, while Warner Bros. courts some royal drama with Reign: Season 3. Finally, Film Detective discovers some Patterns in a Rod Serling-scripted 1950s drama.

Is anybody up for some pizza? I know four sewer-dwelling superheroes who would happily jump at that offer any day of the week. So for this Tuesday (Round Up), we're excited about the emergence of Paramount's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows in 4K. Elsewhere, CBS lays down the law with Blue Bloods: Season 6 and marshals in Gunsmoke: Season 12. Finally, Eagle Rock does it ol' blue eyes' way with The Frank Sinatra Collection: Part 2.
