Nobody in town likes the traveling Gypsies much, so Halleck's pals -- a judge and a cop -- cover up the incident. After the cover-up, the dead woman's father, Tadzu Lempke (Michael Constantine), touches Halleck's face and whispers "thinner." Pretty soon, Halleck is losing weight at an incredible rate of more than 40 pounds a week. He tries everything, but learns that Lempke is the only man who can remove the curse. In the meantime, the judge dies of a mysterious skin ailment, and the cop commits suicide. When begging and pleading with Lempke doesn't work, Halleck turns to more drastic methods of persuasion.~Robert Firsching Robert John Burke - Billy Halleck Joe Mantegna - Richie Ginelli Michael Constantine - Lucinda Jenney - Heidi Halleck Kari Wuhrer - Gina Lempke John Horton - Judge Cary Rossington Sam Freed - Dr. Mike Houston Daniel Von Bargen - Chief Duncan Hopley Elizabeth Franz - Leda Rossington Jeff Ware - Max Duggenfield Tom Holland - Director Mitchell Galin - Producer Richard P.

The foursome consists of intellectual Gordie (Wil Wheaton), born leader Chris (River Phoenix), emotionally disturbed Teddy (Corey Feldman), and chubby hanger-on Vern (Jerry O'Connell).

8. The Shawshank Redemption/Green Mile [Blu-ray]

Format:Blu-ray Program Type:Movie Product Name:The Shawshank Redemption/Green Mile [Blu-ray] Studio:Warner Home Video Product Tags:Blu-ray Director Frank Darabont, who made an acclaimed feature film debut with The Shawshank Redemption (1994), based on a Stephen King novel set in a prison, returns for a second feature, based on King's 1996 serialized novel set in a prison. In 1935, inmates at the Cold Mountain Correctional Facility call Death Row "The Green Mile" because of the dark green linoleum that tiles the floor. Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) is the head guard on the Green Mile when a new inmate is brought into his custody: John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), convicted of the sadistic murder of two young girls. Despite his size and the fearsome crimes for which he's serving time, Coffey seems to be a kind and well-mannered person who behaves more like an innocent child than a hardened criminal. Soon Edgecomb and two of his fellow guards, Howell (David Morse) and Stanton Barry Pepper), notice something odd about Coffey: he's able to perform what seem to be miracles of healing among his fellow inmates, leading them to wonder just what sort of person he could be, and if he could have committed the crimes with which he was charged. The Green Mile also stars James Cromwell as the warden; Michael Jeter, Sam Rockwell, and Graham Greene as inmates awaiting dates with the electric chair; and Harry Dean Stanton as a clever trustee.~Mark Deming Tom Hanks - Paul Edgecomb David Morse - Brutus "Brutal" Howell Bonnie Hunt - Jan Edgecomb Michael Clarke Duncan - John Coffey James Cromwell - Warden Hal Moores Michael Jeter - Eduard "Del" Delacroix Graham Greene - Arlen Bitterbuck Doug Hutchison - Percy Wetmore Sam Rockwell - William "Wild Bill" Wharton Barry Pepper - Dean Stanton Frank Darabont - Director David Valdes - Producer Frank Darabont - Producer Frank Darabont - Screenwriter Stephen King - Book Author David Tattersall - Cinematographer Thomas Newman - Composer (Music Score) Richard Francis-Bruce - Editor Terence Marsh - Production Designer William Cruse - Supervising Art Director

9. Creepshow 2 [Blu-ray] [1987]

Language:English Program Type:Movie Screen Format:Enhanced Widescreen for 16x9 TV Studio:Image Entertainment Aspect Ratio:1.85:1 Format:Blu-ray Product Name:Creepshow 2 [Blu-ray] [1987] Product Tags:Blu-ray Subtitles:English This less-satisfying sequel to the 1982 George A. Romero/Stephen King anthology presents a new trio of King stories, framed in a similar EC Comics-style format -- this time featuring some rather lackluster animated segments involving horror-host "The Creep," who introduces each chapter with pun-heavy gallows humor. The stories vary widely in quality: first there's "Old Chief Wood'nhead," involving a cigar-Indian who quite literally guards the entrance to an old general and comes to life to avenge the murders of the elderly couple (George Kennedy and Dorothy Lamour) who owned it. The middle segment, "The Raft," features a group of obnoxious teenagers stranded on a raft in the middle of a lake at the mercy of a murderous oil slick which looks like a bunch of plastic garbage bags stitched together. Both of these suffer in comparison to the closing segment, "The Hitchhiker," in which a bored, promiscuous socialite (Lois Chiles) mows down a hitchhiker, who refuses to stay dead, returning again and again to torment her at every turn, rasping "Thanks for the ride, lady!" Despite its strengths -- a livelier pace, some creatively gory set pieces -- this is a much cheaper-looking effort than its predecessor, with the deft guidance of Romero conspicuously absent (long-time collaborator Michael Gornick took up the directorial reins); as a result, King's gross-out sensibilities don't come off as well. Makeup maestro Tom Savini appears in heavy makeup as a live-action version of The Creep, and King pops in for a bit part as a redneck trucker.~Cavett Binion Lois Chiles - Annie Lansing George Kennedy - Ray Spruce Dorothy Lamour - Martha Spruce Tom Savini - The Creep Domenick John - Boy Billy Frank S.

Sound Features:Digital Theater Systems (akin to 5.1) Language:English Format:Blu-ray Program Type:Movie Product Name:Misery [Blu-ray] [1990] Studio:MGM Product Tags:Blu-ray Subtitles:English Adapted from a Stephen King novel, Rob Reiner's Misery cast James Caan as a writer at a career crossroads. The film opens with Paul Sheldon (Caan) completing work on his latest novel, a break from his popular series of novels featuring the character Misery Chastain. He gets into a severe car accident and is saved by Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates), a reclusive woman who nurses him back to health. Annie is a huge fan of the Misery novels, and she finishes reading the new one while Paul is convalescing. She becomes enraged when she discovers that Paul has killed off Misery. Annie injures Paul's foot severely so that he is unable to leave her house, and forces him to write a new Misery novel. A local sheriff (Richard Farnsworth) and Paul's agent (Lauren Bacall) both attempt to track down what happened to the missing author. Misery shot the relatively unknown Kathy Bates to stardom, winning her one of the few Best Actress Oscars ever bestowed for portraying an evil character.~Perry Seibert James Caan - Paul Sheldon Kathy Bates - Annie Wilkes Frances Sternhagen - Virginia Richard Farnsworth - Buster Lauren Bacall - Marcia Sindell Graham Jarvis - Libby J.T.
