imageHAUNTED HISTORIES: AMERICA’S MOST HAUNTED PLACES - Tour some of America’s most haunted destinations, from the remote, beautiful, and enchanting hot spot of Hawaii to the windy city of Chicago, Illinois, where ghosts are said to prowl the shores of Lake Michigan, in HAUNTED HISTORIES: AMERICA’S MOST HAUNTED PLACES , a terrifying 5-DVD set.

Featuring in-depth profiles of the world’s scariest stories, the collection also travels to Savannah, Georgia, an elegant Southern city where spirits have been known to lurk in the bucolic façade; the sun-baked desert of Tombstone, Arizona; and the famous landmarks of Washington, D.C. Hear from people who claim to have been attacked by the warrior spirits of long-departed Hawaiians. Learn how the spirit of Abraham Lincoln; the presence of Ulysses S. Grant; and the ghosts of first ladies, military heroes, and famous politicians are still seen and felt in our nation’s capital, once called “the greatest town for ghosts in the country.” And take a memorable tour of one of the Old West’s most infamous towns, where history is soaked in blood, and the past lingers on in paranormal ways.


imagePARANORMAL STATE: THE COMPLETE SEASON THREE - travel deep into the strange and mysterious with Paranormal Research Society (PRS) founder Ryan Buell and his team of investigators as they set out on cases all over the country, seeking the truth behind the supernatural’s scariest phenomena.

In the SEASON THREE premiere, the PRS dives into a haunting presence in a New Jersey home, which may be caused by an Indian burial ground in the backyard. As the PRS begins digging for answers, they call on a tech expert and a psychic/medium to join their frightening investigation, gathering some compelling evidence on the way. Founded in 2001, the PRS is one of the most-recognized paranormal societies in the nation, working on cases this season that include satanic entities lingering in an abandoned Kansas church and a Kentucky woman’s encounter with a half-human figure bearing ram’s horns. Through the use of Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) recordings and video documentation, and with the help of renowned psychics, demonologists, psychologists, and counselors, the PRS explores these bizarre cases in the hopes of helping frightened people who have nowhere else to turn.

imageTHE VENGEANCE TRILOGY - You’ve been asking, we’ve been planning and this November Palisades Tartan will release the most exciting, impressive and comprehensive Vengeance Trilogy box-set the world has ever seen! Featuring 8-discs and more special features then any other set on the planet (including the Korean version), celebrity essays as well as a few surprises, Palisades Tartan will release Park Chan-Wook’s VENGEANCE TRILOGY November 24th in DVD stores across the country.

SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE is the first film in Park Chan-Wook’s acclaimed Vengeance trilogy.  The sister of a simple and deaf factory worker, Ryu, falls ill and needs a kidney transplant, however he is not a match so he looks to the black market which he can’t afford.  After being fired from his job, his rebel girlfriend suggests that he kidnap the child of his former boss, Park.  When the girl accidentally dies, her father seeks vengeance for her death.

OLDBOY is Park Chan-Wook’s classic genre-defining revenge tale of a man who’s wrongly been imprisoned for 15 years and is then suddenly released. Given money and a cell phone, he’s challenged to discover who incarcerated him in the first place, but he only has five days to uncover the truth. Even with a mysterious young girl to help him, his tortures have just begun. Cannes-winner championed by Tarantino, OLDBOY regularly appeared in top ten best movie polls across the country and is listed as one of the all-time best films as rated by IMDB users.

LADY VENGEANCE, the final film in the trilogy was created by Chan-Wook for his daughter.  After being wrongfully convicted of kidnapping and murdering a young child, a beautiful young woman (Lee Young-ae) is imprisoned for 13 years. While in prison she gains the respect and loyalty of her fellow cellmates, all the while plotting her vendetta on the man responsible (OLDBOY’s Choi Min-Sik).  Upon her release she sets in motion an elaborate plan of retribution, but what she discovers is a truth so horrifying, even revenge doesn’t seem punishment enough.
