Gather round kids. Y'see back in my day we didn't have this plethora of great Netflix video game adaptations. Castlevania? The Witcher? Pah, we were lucky if we got a censored, poorly translated VHS of anything that was rolling out of Japan. Time has been kinder to us, however, and we are finally being given access to some of the old-school cool that eluded us in the halcyon days of the early '90s. Case in point: The Fatal Fury anime, which is finally headed to Blu-ray.

Two classic TV specials based on SNK's legendary fighting franchise will be getting a long-overdue remaster, courtesy of publisher Discotek Media. The upcoming Blu-ray will include both 1992's Fatal Fury: Legend of the Hungry Wolf and its 1993 follow-up, Fatal Fury 2: The New Battle. Bea?utifully scanned from an original film negative, both specials will be presented in glorious 1080p, and will feature their English and Japanese voice t??rack options, as well as brand-new, fully corrected subtitles.

Viewers will also be able to check out the Japanese and U.S. openings for both OVAs and witness a previously cut scene from Fatal Fury 2 for the first time. While all of the special features are yet to be revealed, the Blu-ray will include original trailers, an art gallery, and full commentary featuring Discotek producer Brady Hartel and anime fan Matt McMuscles. While no street date for the Blu-ray was announced, this eventual release will be a no-brainer for video game anime fans, sitting perfectly alongside Discotek's previously released disc for 1994's Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture.

I just hope you don't have to hide your anime unde???r your bed as I did.

Six degrees of Fred Ward

In today's contest you can win a Blu-ray copy of Tremors from Arrow Video!

Usually I introduce this kind of stuff and try to take it seriously. You can probably find LOTS of evidence to the contrary, but shut up I don't care. I'm a Professional Internet Writer, damn it, DAD! I mean, readers!

Ahem. So today we're giving away Arrow Video's release of Tremors on Blu-ray, and instead of wasting your time telling you what the movie's about (it's a comedy/horror film where giant underground worms terrorize a small Nevada town)?? I'm going to waste your time telling you about why I chose this movie.

Again, you can find more about the movie elsewhere. Chances are if you're here, you already know about it. So I'm instead going to spin a yarn about how I've seen this (and its ?sequel) roughly 100?? times.

Back in the summer of sixth grade, I had a TV in my room because I was mature and cool. At some point during the dog days of summer, I lost the remote to my TV while it was stuck on the USA Network. I guess they had just acquired the rights to air Tremors 1 and 2, so they did just that. All the time. Like, all fucking summer. In between airings of Monday Night Raw and reruns of Wings, they were spamming these movies hardco?re. I?? couldn't change the channel!

Much like A Christmas Story I've never actually seen this movie in one sitting, front to back. But I've seen various bits of it enou?gh times to be able to stitch it all together in my mind.

Wasn't that pointless?! Enter to win your copy by using the widget below. Click around and blah blah blah. Also hit up the new and improved Flixist to double your odds.

We have one copy of the film to give? away; we'll draw winners next week. Since this is a physical prize, you must have? a United States shipping address in order to win.

Check out Tremors and other great Blu-ray releases over at MVD Entertainment.

A PS4, y'all!!

In today's contest, you can win a brand new PS4 Pro console and a Sniper: Assassin's End movie prize pack!

Just the other day I was thinking how I've never given away a PS4 'round ??there here parts. Or maybe I have, I don't remember. Point is, sometimes life finds a way to give you consoles to give away to random strangers on the internet.

Action movie franchise Sniper is still alive and kickin' with its newest entry Sniper: Assassin's End. Sony Pictures gave us a copy of the movie, a Sniper 8-pack, a signed poster, and a friggin' PlayStation 4 Pro to give away to kick off the launch of the film!

Ok read about the movie first:

Special Ops sniper Brandon Beckett (Chad Michael Collins, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare) is set up as the primary suspect for the murder of a foreign dignitary o??n the eve of signing a high-profile trade agreement with the United States. Narrowly escaping death, Beckett realizes that there may be a dark operative working within the government, and partners with the only person whom he can trust: his father, legendary sniper Sgt. Thomas Beckett (Tom Berenger). Both Becketts are on the run from the CIA, Russian mercenaries and Lady Death, a Yakuza-trained assassin (Japanese actress and singer Sayaka Akimoto in her Hollywood film debut) with sniper skills that rival both legendary sharpshooters.

Beware Lady Death!

Ok enough about the movie, let's talk prizes. This ultimate pr??ize pack contains the following:

• One Blu-ray copy of Sniper: Assassin's End
• One Sniper 8-film collection DVD
• A mini-poster for Sniper: Assassin's End signed by director Kaare Andrews and star Chad Michael Collins
• A brand new PlayStation 4 Pro console

They're good, but also bad

Today's contest features a Blu-ray copy of dark comedy Good Boys.

Superbad was pretty great. Human bird Michael Cer?a and holy-shit-how'd-he-become-a-legitimate-actor Jonah Hill had g?reat chemistry, and the elements really just came together to make this special comedy. Good news! A bunch of people who worked on it are at it again.

Good Boys just hit Blu-ray an??d digital a few weeks ago, and we've got a copy to give away!

I'm a bad boy and can't seem to summarize this on my own, so read a description fr??om the studio.

Just how bad can one day get? The creative minds behind Superbad and Sausage Party take on sixth grade hard in this innocent yet raunchy comedy. 12-year-olds Max, Thor, and Lucas decide to skip school in an? attempt to learn how to kiss in ti??me for a kissing party. Their odyssey of epically bad decisions involves some accidentally stolen drugs, frat-house paintball, and running from both the cops and terrifying teenage girls!

Rated R - for strong crude sexual content, drug and alcohol material, and language throughout - all involving tweens.

From what I hear it's pretty funny, so get in on the ??fun!

To enter to win, u?se the widget below to leave your name and email address. You can enter daily. Click around in the widget for ways to gain bonus entries! It's more fun when you don't know what to expect.

We have one Blu-ray to give away between Dtoid and Flixis?t; winner will be drawn Thursday, December 5. As this is a physical prize, you must have a United States shipping address in order to wi?n.

Good Boys is available now on digita??l, ??and on Blu-ray wherever movies are sold.

These birds need to cool it

We've got a copy of The Angry Birds Movie 2 up for grabs in today's contest!

The only ??cell phone games I've ever really played were ea??rly versions of Snake on flip phones (puke) and the occasional Picross-style puzzle game on my current phone. How the hell the industry blew up like it did is beyond me, but most things these days are. It's a consequence of getting older, for sure.

One of the biggest successes from mobile games is definitely Angry Birds. So big is the franchise that we're on the second feature-length film based on the games! That's crazy. So let's give this copy of The Angry Birds Movie 2 away and download so??me free-to-play games on our phones as it plays in the background, like a good?? modern human!

I accidentally flung my a??bility to summarize movies too far, so I'l??l let you read this press material about the movie real quick.

The flightless angry birds and the scheming green piggies take their beef to the next level in THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2! When a new threat emerges that puts both Bird and Pig Isla?nd in danger, Red (Jason Sudeikis), Chuck (Josh Gad), Bomb (Danny McBride), and Mighty Eagle (Peter Dinklage) recruit Chuck's sister Silver (Rachel Bloom) and team up with pigs Leonard (Bill Hader), his assistant, Courtney (Awkwafina), and techpig, Garry (Sterling K. Brown)??, to forge an unsteady truce and form an unlikely super team to save their homes.

T??hat new threat they're talking about? GLOBAL WARMING. That'?s right, I said it. Good luck with that one, piggies and birds.

To enter to win your copy, leave your name and email in the widget bel?ow. You can enter daily. For bonus entries, follow Dtoid and Flixist on Twitter, and share our contest post with your friends.

While you're waiting, te?ll us why these birds are so damned angry. I know I ask you to do this every time we bri??ng up Angry Birds, but I still don't have a solid answer. Someone, end the madness. Please.

We have one Blu-ray cop?y of the film to give away between Dtoid and Flixist. You must have a United States shipping address in order to win -- winner will be drawn Monday, November 18.

The Angry Birds Movie 2 is available digitally??, and at retail wherever movies ar?e sold.

Spin-off mania!

Today's contest puts a Blu-ray copy of Hobbs & Shaw up for grabs!

I think I watched the first three Fast & Furious movies, but lost track somewhere around Fast & Furious in Space 2. They've really made a lot of those movies at this point. The good news is, they've em?braced the full-on action aspects of the whole thing and actually look like a really good time, these days.

So, they're already on spin-offs! For what it's worth, Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham are great, and look like they have a ton of chemistry in this one. So, give Hobbs & Shaw a chance and enjoy some good old-fashioned, action-oriented ??car porn?!

Someone sped off with my ability to summarize movies, so I'm going to paste in?? some press info and?? get over into the merge lane.

For years, hulking lawman Luke Hobbs and lawless outcast Deckard Shaw have traded smack talk and body blows. But when cyber-genetically enhanced an??archist Brixton Lorr (Idris Elba) gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever, Hobbs and Shaw must partner up to bring down the only guy who might be badder than themselves. Joining the cast as Shaw's sister Hattie, Vanessa Kirby.

"Hobbs &? Shaw" sounds like a comic strip from the 80s/90s. I'd totally read it.

What's a motto with you?

Today's contest features a Blu-ray copy of The Lion King -- come win it!

The original Lion King is definitely one of those big, epic animated fi??lms that really dominated the early part of my childhood. I of course loved Dis??ney movies back then, but man the detail in the animation, the songs, the plot -- it all came together perfectly to make this really amazing movie that I can still watch to this day.

Disney's been trying to recreate the magic lately with semi live action remakes of old hand-animated movies. Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and Dumbo all had their shot -- now it's Simba's turn!

I'm not going to waste a ton of time pasting in press info or talking about the movie too much. Unless you just woke up from a very long coma and are now a caveman lawyer, you probably know all about The Lion King. Simba is, like, The Lion Prince and his The Lion Uncle is super jelly about that, so he The Lion Murders The Lion King and vanishes The Lion Prince to The Lion Wilderness. From there, The Lion Prince meet?s some pals and embarks on The Lion Journey to claim The Lion Throne as The Lion King.

It's pretty good! And now that it's all new and stuff, you don't have to feel like your grandpa watching stuff from the '90s that didn't even h?ave big, fancy computer animation. Suck it, '90s!

There are demons in all of us

Celebrate the spooky season by winning a Blu-ray copy of psychological thriller The Dead Center.

Halloween is my favorite holida?y -- it's just so much better than all the others. There's dressing up and scary things and candy, and everyone just has a good time getting all creeped out. And one ??of my favorite traditions of the season is watching a horror every night...or at least trying. It's hard to fully commit as an adult.

So, I'm going to help you celebrate my way by sending you a free copy of psychological thriller The Dead Center! ?I?t looks appropriately creepy, so we're off to a good start!

I've been banned from summarizing movies in seventeen countries, so I'll just paste in some press release stuff?? ?for you.

WHEN JOHN DOE ROSE FROM THE DEAD, HE BROUGHT SOMETHING BACK.

When a very dead suicide victim (Jeremy Childs, Preacher, Nashville) disappears from the morgue, it sets in motion a chain of events that has the power to immolate everything, and everyone, it touches.

Troubled psychiatrist Daniel Forrester (Shane Carruth, Primer, Upstream Color) is drawn to help a mysterious patient who is brought to the emergency psych ward in a catatonic state with no memory of how he reached the hospital. As if to exorcise his own demons, the doctor feverishly tries to break through to his mysterious patient. But as a spate of mysterious deaths shake the ward to its core, Forrester comes to suspect that there is more to his new ward than meets the eye. As he comes to realise what he's unleashed, a desperate race against the forces of evil threatens to swallow him whole.

I hate it when I accidentally unleash demons into hospitals. It's ?the worst!

Go Hamm on your Slinky, dawg

We've got a Blu-ray copy of Toy Story 4 to give out, so come win it!

Toy Story 3 made me cry. Legit. It's really good. But since I don't like crying at movies, I decided I was going to skip any more entries in the series lest I wind up being a blubbering, emotional mess at all times. I'm known as a Really Toug??h And Strong Manly Man around these parts, so I gotta keep up appearances.

If you're cool with getting emotional over animated movies, then good news! I've got a Blu-ray copy of Toy Story 4 to throw at you. So grab them tissues and get to leaking from y????our face holes, people.

So in this fourth entry of the Pixar series (man, time flies) Woody, Buzz, and some of the other classic characters find themselves w??ith a new child to make happy. This, of course, results in shenanigans because these toys can't seem to no get into trouble. They'll meet new friends in a?? carnival, some weird dummies in an antique store, and even run into an old friend in their journey to make a spoon feel like a good toy. I'm sure they'll do a good job, and I'm sure you'll cry at the end.

I'm tired of crying, damn it. So just tell me if it was go?od after you win it.

To enter to win a copy, drop yo??ur name and email address using the widget bel?ow. You can enter daily. For bonus entries, follow Dtoid and Flixist on Twitter and share our contest post with your friends.

While you're waiting, tell us what last made you cry. Entertainment-wise, that is. Don't roll up in here talking about? ?losing your dog, because that's way too heavy for me right now. Keep it focusing on movies, games, movies, or books here, people.

This counts as a zombie land, right?

Today's contest sees the dead rise again in a Blu-ray copy of The Dead Don't Die.

Man, zombies just don't die. I mean, they do kinda, but I meant the zombie genre. In both movies and gaming it's still going pretty strong, despite being a major source of entertainmen??t for many, many moons now. The internet reall?y helped the zombie boom, and I guess it's here to stay. Until Mom stops paying the internet bill, that is.

Speaking of bills, Bill Murray is in another zombie movie! We've got a copy of The Dead Don't Die to give a?way, so pry it out of my cold, undead hands.

Wow, this on??e has a ton of stars in it. Like, a whole lot. Adam Driver and Bill Murray pilot this thing,  but ma??n look at that cast. Crazy. Anyway, Jim Jarmusch's horror/comedy/satire has a plot synopsis, so read it so I don't have to figure out how to rewrite it!

In the sleepy small town of Centerville, something is not quite right. The moon hangs large and low in the sky, the hours of daylight are beco??ming unpredictable, and animals are beginning to exhibit unusual behaviors. No one quite knows why. News reports are scary and scientists are concerned. But no one foresees the strangest and most d?angerous repercussion that will soon start plaguing Centerville: The Dead Don't Die - they rise from their graves and savagely attack and feast on the living, and the citizens of the town must battle for their survival.

From writer-director Jim Jarmusch (Paterson, Gimme Danger) comes a star-studded horror comedy featuring an ensemble cast of Jarmusch regulars (Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Chloe Sevigny, Tilda Swinto??n, Iggy Pop, Steve Buscemi, Tom Waits) and newcomers to the fold (Selena Gomez, Danny Glover, Caleb Landry Jones, Carol Kane) in a raucous, rueful and satirical glimpse at American habits and desires at the end of the world - a comically ?terrifying state of the nation addressed in a true cinematic original.

There's a road ??called Centerv??ille right now the street from me. Maybe it's cursed!

To enter to win, use the widget below to leave your name and email address. You can enter daily. For bonus entries, follow Dtoid and Flixist on Twitter and share our contest post with your friends??.

Whil??e you're waiting, tell us in the comments just why the dead refuse to die. Why are they so persistent on reanimating, shambling around, and biting us when we're just trying to have a nice pee in the park? It's rude.

We have one Blu-ray copy of the film to give out between Dtoid and Flixist. You must have a United States shipping address t??o qualify. Our winner will be drawn on Friday, September 13.

The Dead Don't Die releases September 10 on Blu-ray, DVD, and ??digital. You can buy it wherever mo?vies are sold.

Physica?l prizes, ho! Giving away actual, tangible objects is one of my favorite things, so today I've got ?a double dose of things you can actually touch. Who doesn't like touching?

We've got a Blu-ray copy of Men in Black: International, as well as an MiB poster from mother effing Mondo to give away. Mondo is the best, so I'm pretty stoke??d about this one!

Ok read this while I make some coffee.

Chris Hemsworth (Avengers: Endgame) and Tessa Thompson (Thor: Ragnarok) join forces to take on an apocalyptic alien threat in director F. Gary Gray’s (The Fate of the Furious) exciting globetrotting adventure MEN IN BLACK: INTERNATIONAL, debuting on Digital August 20 and on 4K Ultra ?HD Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD on September 3, from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Joining Hemsworth and Thompson is an all-star supporting cast that includes Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick), Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible -Fallout), Rafe Spall (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), international dance phenoms Les Twins (Laurent Bourgeois & Larry Bourgeois) with Emma Thompson (L?ate Night) and Liam Neeson (Taken).

The Men in Black have always protected the Earth from the scum of the universe. In this new adventure, they tackle their biggest, most global threat to date: a mole in the Men in Blac??k organization.

How protecting the entire Earth wasn't international enough in the first three mo??vies is a myster??y, but whatever. This one has French dancing twins, so I guess that makes all the difference.

Anyway, look at this poster!

For the less travelled among us

Earlier this week, Square Enix held a prestigious live concert featuring the music of last year's acclaimed JRPG title Octopath Traveler. The Break, Boost and Beyond show took place July 28 at the Olympus Hall Hachioji in Tokyo, featuring arrangements taken from the game's soundtrack album, whic?h released earlier this ?year.

Still, Tokyo is kind of a long way away for a lot of us, and many fans were unfortunately unable to be in attendance for the show. However, it has been revealed that the show was recorded for posterity, and will be released on Blu-ray in Japan as Octopath Traveler: Break, Boost and Beyond Live! The disc will feature all 21 performances from the show, along wit??h a commemorative postcard for ?its first retail run.

If you're after a copy of the show for yourself, then the Blu-ray will release in Japan December 18, priced at around ¥5,000, or roughly $50 USD. Be sure to keep an eye on import haunts such as Amazon.co.jp and CD Japan. Octopath Traveler is available now on PC and Nintendo Switch.

Is that horror movie in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?

Attention '80s kids: Enter our contest for a Blu-ray copy of Arrow Video's Scared Stiff!

I probably don't need to tell you why I love '80s horror, but I will anyw??ay -- long story short, it's the practical effects. Computer-generated stuff is cool and all, and provides a way to make things look really, really cool, but man there's nothing like good old-fashioned prosthetics and makeup. It makes effects look so??mehow realer than a computer ever could.

That's why I'm excited to give out 1987's Scared Stiff!

It's an '80s horror movie, so there's not much by way of plot. A mother, her son, and her boyfriend move into a really old home. But oh shit! It's haunted! Or something. I don't know, lil homie discovers a talisman or something in the basement and then all hell breaks loose. Does it really need to get any more descriptive than that? There's lots of gore and makeup and weird creatures and tribal dancing (?), so pretty much you're either into this sort of thing -- like me -- or you're waiting for me to give away a VHS of The English Patient.

And I am not doing that again.

To enter to win, comment below by typing something totally random. If you're on a smartphone, type in the words, "I want a," and auto??fill a sentence using th??e first recommended word. It's always a fun little exercise!

We have two Blu-rays to give away. Winners will be drawn on Tuesday, April 7. Make sure to comment using a Dtoid account with your current email address on file. New users can sign up here to get in on the RNG fun!

That iguana sounds pretty dope

Enter today's contest to win a Blu-ray copy of Arrow Video's The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire!

What I like about these movie contest partnerships with MVD Entertainment is I get to see a bunch of weird stuff I'd have probably never heard of. Today's mov?ie is one of those -- The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire is a '70s giallo that's self-indulgent, even for the self-indulgent genre. I'd like to think that describe?s me pretty well.

So, w?e've got some copies up for grabs. Come grab one!

Read this!

One of several "animal-in-the-title" cash-ins released in the wake of Dario Argento's box-office smash The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire is a gloriously excessive giallo that boasts a rogues gallery of perverse characters; violent, fetishized murders, and one of the genre's most nonsensical, red-herring laden plots (which sees almost every incidental character hinted at potentially being the killer). Set in Dublin (a rather surprising giallo setting), Iguana opens audaciously with an acid-throwing, razor-wielding maniac brutally slaying a woman in her own home. The victim's mangled corpse is discovered in a limousine owned by Swiss Ambassador Sobiesky and a police investiga?tion is launched, but when the murdering continues and the ambassador claims diplomatic immunity, tough ex-cop John Nortonis brought in to fi?nd the killer...

My favorite part of these kinds of movies is how pulpy they are. Also the murderer both has a razor blade and throws acid for no apparent reason?. It's silly, and it's?? fun.

To enter to win your copy, comment below telling us what ridiculous combination of weaponry you'd use if you were a deranged serial ??killer in 1970s Dublin. I'd use shoelaces to strangle my enemies (and also carry my school books aro??und) and a plastic straw to poison the Earth, resulting in my enemies' inevitable death! I know I'd probably have to wait a while for the plastic straw thing to work out, but dude it's gonna be so worth it when they're all like, "Oh shit I'm dying because of a plastic straw in the ocean, help me!!!" and I'm like, "Yeah, I did that."

We have two Blu-rays to give away. Since this is a physical prize, you must have a United States shipping address in order to win. Winners will be drawn on Tuesday, April 30. New users can sign up here and describe their m??iraculously stupid murder weapons!

Windex not included

Get into today's contest to win a free Blu-ray copy of Glass!

M. Knight Shyamalan's films ha??ve always been pretty divisive. That one about nature attacking Mark Wahlberg is pretty blech, but like most people I like The Sixth Sense. Most people usually have pretty mixed opinions ab??out the rest, and will rank them somewhere in between those two extremes.

Ya gotta give credit to the dude, though -- he just keeps chugging along. Glass is the culmination of a series nearly 20 years in the making, so?? if you're a fan of the series, you can win a free Blu-ray copy!

Here's an official synopsis from Universal:

M. Night Shyamalan brings together two of his standout original films -- Unbreakable and Split -- in this explosive comic book thriller. Elijah Price, also known? as Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson), finds David Dunn (Bruce Willis) pursuing Kevin Wendell Crumb's superhuman figure, The Beast (James McAvoy), in a series of escalating encounters. Price, armed with secrets critical to both men, emerges as a shadowy orchestrator.

Since I haven't actually seen any of the movies, I'm going to provide my own synopsis from what I could gather from the trailer posted above. E??njoy.

The guy who farted out The Village and The Happening brings together two of his previous movies I haven't seen -- Bruce Willis Looks Mean and Holy Shit What's Going On -- in this weird-as-shit dramatic thriller. Sam Jackson Is In Every Movie Ever, played with aplomb by Sam Jackson, finds Old Hooded White Dude (the ghost of Bruce Willis) in an asylum or something. Uh, that's usually a bad thing, but I guess here it's not so bad. ??They talk and do some stuff while Meat Strongboy (James McAvoy, who's usually either wheelchair-bound or supe??r strong in movies) runs naked on walls and flips out on cheerleaders and shit. Why is everyone so broody, and why do so many people whisper indoors?

Ok, that sounds about right. Get your copy today!

To enter to win, use the widget below ?to leave your name and email address. You can repeat daily for additional chances. For bonus entries, follow Dtoid and Flixist on Twitter and share our contest post with your friends.

In the meantime, tell us in the comments how close my synopsis actually is to the ?movie/series. I'm genuinely curious. I think I did a good job!

We have one copy between Dtoid and Flixist to give out. As this is a physical prize, you must have a United St?ates shipping address to win. ??Winner will be drawn on Monday, April 22.

Glass is available now wherever movies are sold.

These roaches don't seem very rad

Don't bug out with today's contest for a Blu-ray copy of Arrow Video's Terra Formars.

You guys know me well enough to know I don't know shit about anime,?? or manga, or any of that stuff. It's just not my bag. That said, I do like batshit insane stories though. So when I saw Takashi Miike directed a film based on a manga where giant cockroaches roam Mars carrying weapons and shit, I knew I had to get ??in on it.

And that means you get to get in on it, too, by winning a Blu-ray copy of Terra Formars!

Ok I'm going to do my best to explain to you what the hell is going on, here. So Earth sucks, yeah? It's overcrowded and we need to GTFO because there's like nothing left. So we sent some roaches and mold to Mars in hopes of beginning t??he process of colonization and adapting the planet to h?uman life. After all, if a bunch of roaches knock off and die, at least it was like the grossest thing on Earth. So anyway, Earth sends a bunch of people to Mars a few years later to be like, "Yo waddup roaches." But, we get there, and the roaches have evolved into giant, bipedal, weapon-wielding mutants or something.

So of course, we try to fi??ght the mut??ated roaches, but dude! Shit! They're too strong and fast and smart and stuff! Then some text in Japanese happens that I don't understand, but anyway the humans get bug powers, too. How that happens is unclear, but it wouldn't qualify for our It Came From Japan! tag if it wasn't weird or wacky in some way. So the bug-humans fight the human-bugs, and yep this sounds like a Takashi Miike kind of joint.

Ok, that's m?y synopsis. Please hold you??r applause until the end of the presentation.

To enter to win your copy, comment below telling us how we humans acquired bug powers on Mars. If you actually know the answer, you can spoil it for us, if you'd like. I'd prefer you try to dupe us, though! Throw us off our game. After all, It Came From Japan!, so pretty m??uch anything you say could feasibly have happened in this movie. I'd believe pretty much anything at t??his point.

We have two Blu-ray copies to give away. You must have a United States shipping address in order to win. Winners will be drawn on Monday, April 15. Make sure to comment using a Dtoid account with your current email address on file. New users can sign up here to tri?ck me into unde??rstanding the plot of this very strange movie!

I don't have many words for this one, so just play along with me, h?e?re.

I've got two Blu-ray copies of The Greasy Strangler. Why? I don't know. I'm just plain broken, I guess. But ?now you have to take them.

I actually found a semi-SFW trailer! And it makes it kind of better. Depe?nding on wh??o you ask.

Here is the official synopsis of the film:

When Big Ronnie and his son Brayden meet female tourist Janet on Big Ronnie's Disco Walking Tour -- the best and? only disco walking tour in the city -- a fight for Janet's heart erupts betwe??en father and son, and the infamous "Greasy Strangler" is unleashed.

Stop breaking things, Ralph!

Help fix the internet with our contest for a Blu-ray copy of Ralph Breaks the Internet.

I'm 32, but I'll admit it: I still like Disney movies. I don't care who knows it. Aladdin is one of my favorites, and The Princess and the Frog did some really coo??l stuff with New Orleans. That one's underrated, to me.

Ralph Breaks the Internet does a good job of repping those two favorites of mine -- just check the header! We've got a Blu-ray copy to give a??way, so come win it!

If you'??re? somehow unfamiliar with the movie, here's some words for ya!

Ralph Breaks the Internet welcomes back favorite cast and characters introduced six years ago, including John C. Reilly, who provides the voice of Ralph, and Sarah Silverman, who returns as the voice of Vanellope. Lending a virtual hand to Ralph and Vanellope is Shank, voiced by Gal Gadot, a tough-as-nails driver from a gritty online auto racing game called Slaughter Race, a place ?Vanellope wholeheart??edly embraces -- so much so that Ralph worries he may lose the only friend he's ever had.

Yesss, voiced by Taraji P.? Henson, the head algorithm and the heart and soul of the trend-making site BuzzzTube, makes Ralph a viral sensation. Jack McBrayer and Jane Lynch return as the voices of Fix-It Felix Jr. and Sergeant Calhoun, respectively, and Disney Animation's good luck charm, actor Alan Tudyk was called on to voice a search engine named KnowsMore -- literally a know-it-all -- who runs a search bar and helps Ralph and Vanellope on their quest. Lots of exciting cameos are also featured in the film includin??g a scene that reunites all of the original (living) Disney Princess voice cast.

I love Disney princesses.

We have one Blu-ray copy to give away between Dtoid and Flixist. Since this ????is a physical prize, shipping is restricted to the United States. Our winner will be drawn on Wednesday, February 27.

Ralph Breaks the Internet will be available on Blu-ray and digital o?n Tuesday, February 26, wherever movies are sold.

Fun for the whole family

You've got the part in today's contest for a Blu-ray copy of Arrow Video's release of Audition.

I don't feel like Takashi Miike or any of his films really ne??ed a whole lot of words to describe them. If you've seen them, you know what's up. If you haven't, go to the library and find on?e of them.

Or just win one here. We've got Audition up for grabs, so...uh...come grab it!

Having recently lost his wife, widower Shigeharu Aoyama devises a plan with a coworker to use their position at a film company to stage auditions to find the pe??rfect woman. Luckily for him, he finds her! Then the movie ends and ?everything is really, really happy.

I'm not going to say anymore than this because you've ?either already seen it, or you haven't. Either way, I'm not going to spoil anything for you. Just watch it!

To enter to win, comment below telling us how you won the role when you auditioned to be someone's perfect mate. While many think my hairline did the trick, it was actually my genial demeanor and self-deprecating humor! But then I got on set and they quickly recast me with someone younger, more genial, and wit??h a better hairline. Hollywood can be rough, man.

We have two Blu-ray copies to give away. As this is a physical prize, you must have a United States shipping address in order to win. Winners will be drawn on Monday, February 18. Make sure to comment using your Dtoid account, and that your profile is up to date with your current email address.

ROBERT PATRICK

Just shut up and enter this contest to win a Blu-ray copy of Double Dragon.

I'M WRITING IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I HAVE LEGITIMATELY BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR THIS CONTEST. SERIOUSLY, I'VE BEEN COUNT?ING DOWN THE DAYS.

I'll cool it with the caps lock, but dudes, really, I love Double Dragon. It's awfu?l and great and terrible and wonderful, and I want you to have this m?ovie. Just enter my contest, already!

Normally I'd put some press material or some bullshit here, but I'm not going to do that today. I'm instead going to tell you how much I love this movie. The video game it's inspired by didn't make a whole lot of sense to begin with (something something Bimmy's girlfriend got kidnapped by a gang? Who cares, you just punch people), but this movie took that pretty basic concept and absolutely ran with it. It's a whole futuristic neonpunk dystopian nightmare of a film that's done about as competently as a fine china showing in a wrecking ball factory, and it's all the better for it. The dude from Party of Five beats up Robert Patrick and a mime gets kicked in the nuts in the trailer. It's incredible. The movie ends on a bad driver ??joke. It inspired a video game based on the movie, based on the video game. It's truly a disasterpiece. and one of my favorite movies of all time.

Legit, I love this movie. If you commen??t below saying it's not grea?t, I'll come find you and beat you up. Scott Wolf style. Bad action choreography and everything.

To?? enter, comment below saying something nice about this movie. Anything nice at all. If you say something not nice about this movie, ??you're disqualified. And you're also uninvited to my pool party. I take this very, very seriously.

We have two Blu-rays to give away. Winners will be drawn on Monday, February 11. Make sure you comment using a Dtoid-generated Disqus account, and that your account is up to date with your current email address. New users can sign up here to say nice things about Double Dragon, one of my favorite movies.

Double Dragon is one of my favorite movies. You can buy it from my friends over at MVD Entertainment Group. Hit up Flixist for more chances to win this gem of a film.

Don't forget to bring a towel!

No eating 30 minutes before entering our contest for Waterworld on Blu-ray.

For most of us in the northern hemisphere, it's winter. In a lot of places, it's been a pretty damned cold one, at that. Wouldn't you just like to be transported to a place where you can swim in the sun at yo??ur heart's content?

Well, now you can, by winning a Blu-ray copy of one of the biggest blockbuster flops of all time, Waterworld!

The polar ice caps have melted, covering the world in what used to be frozen at the far ends of the planet. Humanity has had no choice but to adapt to the clime and survive entirely off the endless ocean. Welcome to Waterworld! This epic disaster of a Hollywood blockbuster doesn't actually get the love it deserves. In many ways Mad Max on a rainy day, this movie has it all: Huge explosions, big-name actors really hamming it up to sell the damned thing, and even a big dumb water worm! And honestly, as much fun I'm poking at the m??ovie here, the sets are really something special. In a time when you couldn't just pay 7,000 animators to make realistic water effects, you had to have actual water. And man, this movie has actual water.

And they didn't skimp on?? the b??onus features for this one:

• New restoration from a 4K scan of the original negative by Arrow Films, presenting the film in three cuts
• Original 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and 2.0 stereo audio options
• Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
• Six collector's postcards
• Double-sided fold-out poster
• Limited edition 60-page perfect-bound book featuring new writing on the film by David J. Moore and Daniel Griffith, archival articles and original reviews
• Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Paul Shipper
• High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation of the original theatrical cut
• Maelstrom: The Odyssey of Waterworld, an all-new, feature-length making-of documentary including extensive cast and crew interviews and behind the scenes footage
• Original archival featurette capturing the film's production
• Global Warnings, film critic Glenn Kenny explores the subgenre of ecologically aware Hollywood blockbusters
• Production and promotional stills gallery
• Visual effects stills gallery
• Original trailers and TV spots
• High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation of the extended US TV cut, which runs over 40 minutes longer than the theatrical cut
• High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation of the extended European 'Ulysses' cut, which includes censored shots and dialogue

Three different cuts of Waterworld! THREE!

To enter to win, comment below putting 9?0s-era Kevin Costner in a mor??e ridiculous film. Try to beat mine:

In a world where children's imaginations have betrayed them, turning the ground into actual lava, mankind has had?? t?o adapt...

To living in the sky!

Kevin Costner stars as Fran Hambone, a sky-butcher who sails the skies in his hot air balloon selling his wares for fuel. But when a vegan zeppelin pirate (played by Designing Women's Meshach Taylor) tries to end Fran's noble career, he will stop at nothing to s??ave the woman he loves. And the sky-meats he loves even more.

Don't miss Lavaland, in theatres this November.

We have two copies to give out. As this is a physical prize, you must have a United States shipping address to win. Winners will be drawn on Monday, January 28.

Trick or treat, smell my feet

Grab your Shatner masks for this contest, and win a Blu-ray copy of 2018's Halloween!

Why all the Halloween-themed stuff in January? Because I can, that's why. I abide by no law, and?? answer to no holiday-based auth?orities!

To celebrate my reckless seasonal abandon, enter our contest for your chance to win a Blu-ray copy of last year's Halloween!

Some 40 years after the events of the original movie, Laurie Strode (portrayed once again by Jamie Lee Curtis!) lives in terror of the night that almost claimed her life. She's kind of a badass now, at least -- she's been spending her time preparing for the inevitable return of The Shape (portrayed once again by William Shatner!). ??And wouldn't you know it, he escaped once again while being transferred. This movie kind of ignores every other film in the series, but man he sur?e does wind up escaping a lot. I think it's on Halloween night again, but I'm not certain. You'll find out once you watch it.

Anyway, Meyers returns to finish the job he started all these years ago and Laurie fights back. John Carpenter also came back to work on this one, along with director David Gordon Green of Pineapple Express fame. Kind of an odd choice for directors, but apparently he does a good ??job going from stoner comedy to classic horror. Who knew?

All I know is I have a Blu-ray copy to give away, and I want you to win it! Yeah, you! To enter to win, use the widget below to drop your name and email address. That's it. You can repeat daily for bonus entries??, if you're so inclined. For additional entries, follow Dtoid/Flixist on Twitter, and share our contest post with your friends. Or enemies. Or victims. I don't really care who you share it with,? just share it!

In the mean?time, discuss in the comments below why they simply refuse to take better measures in the transport of Michael Meyers. It seem?s like they'd really, really go all out to prevent him from escaping, ya know?

We have one copy of the film to give away between Dtoid and Flixist. As this is a physical prize, you must have a United States mailing address to win.?? Our winner will be drawn on Monday, January 21.

Halloween is now available on Blu-ray and digital.
