MGM Home Entertainment unleashes creepy tales on DVD this Halloween. New to DVD, The Burning (1981), featuring film debuts from Holly Hunter, Jason Alexander and Fisher Stevens, tells the gruesome tale of a severely burned summer camp janitor returning to camp hell-bent on vengeance on a new batch of hormone-driven campers; and thieves on the run find themselves trapped in a cornfield haunted by dark, lurid figures in Scarecrows (1988). Debuting on widescreen DVD, witness the birth of evil with Manhunter (1986), the eerie and intense film debut of Hannibal Lecter, staring Brian Cox. The television movie based on a short story by Stephen King, Sometimes They Come Back Back (1991) returns to DVD starring Tim Matheson and Brooke Adams.

Suddenly, they are exposed to the death-battle of the Jurassic dinosaurs, a wild 70 lb. brontosaurus, a Tyrannosaurus hatching a baby monster, a sea-serpent of a lava lake appearing from the depths, spiders that stalk humans and more!
