We’ll be giving our on-line DVD/Blu-ray Chopping List a big update today, but first we’ve got a bunch of specific news to share, starting with release date info/art on some notable forthcoming titles.

Fango got the word that Dark Sky Films will release Conor McMahon’s killer-clown flick STITCHES (pictured) on DVD ($24.98) and Blu-ray ($29.98) February 19; special features, if any, are to be announced. Art has appeared for New Video’s DVD ($26.95) and Blu-ray ($29.95) editions of Ciarán Foy’s CITADEL, out January 29 with no bonus features announced, and the company also has Michael Axelgaard’s rural chiller HOLLOW hitting February 19 and the Vicious Brothers and director John Poliquin’s found-footage sequel GRAVE ENCOUNTERS 2 set for March 12 on DVD ($26.95 each) and Blu-ray/DVD combo ($29.95 each) with a behind-the-scenes featurette on the former and a Vicious Brothers interview on the latter.

Speaking of found footage, that approach is applied to Mary Shelley’s creation in THE FRANKENSTEIN THEORY, in which a documentary film crew accompanies a professor—who believes the classic novel was based on fact—to the Arctic Circle. Directed by Andrew Weiner, the movie is coming on DVD ($27.97) March 26 from Image Entertainment, which has also unveiled art for Paul Andrew Williams’ home-invasion horror CHERRY TREE LANE (January 29, $27.97).

For Eurozombie fans, Redemption/Kino Lorber have Jean Rollin’s ZOMBIE LAKE and Jess Franco’s OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES coming on remastered DVD ($24.95 each) and Blu-ray ($29.95 each) February 26. Meanwhile, Shout! Factory will release two of its most-awaited titles in March: Don Coscarelli’s PHANTASM II on DVD ($19.93) and Blu-ray ($29.93) March 5, and Stuart Gordon’s FROM BEYOND in a Blu-ray/DVD combo ($29.93) March 26. More details on those are coming shortly.
