Get Ready for the HPTV ‘Blue Velvet’ Giveaway!
Now that we’ve wrapped up season 1 of Twin Peaks, taken a short break, and returned with a special episode covering Blue Velvet, it’s time to have a small giveaway.
If you haven’t been keeping up with HPTV, now is the perfect time to binge all of season 1, before we head into season 2 of Twin Peaks! Check it out here!
Last weekend, while walking the grounds of the Horror Press estate, I came across a severed ear. I was surprised because I hadn’t noticed if any writers were missing any. Instead of picking it up and bringing it to the cops, I decided to bring it inside and use it like a paperweight. Jeffrey Beaumont, eat your heart out.
Anyway, this inspired me to check our walk-in Blu-ray closet and pick something special to giveaway.
Enter Our Blue Velvet Giveaway!
For this special giveaway, we have a copy of Blue Velvet (1986) on Blu-ray. This copy happens to be the Criterion Collection version.
Blue Velvet is a psychological thriller directed by David Lynch. It follows Jeffrey Beaumont, played by the legendary Kyle McLachlan, who makes a grim discovery in his quaint suburban town. This leads him down a seedy path that exposes him to the dark underbelly of his hometown.

Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, the Holiday season has REALLY kicked off. We’ve covered our fair share of Holiday horror from underappreciated gems like Christmas Bloody Christmas and Dial Code Santa Claus to Black Christmas and Krampus! In the hopes of spreading some Holiday cheer (and fear!), the curator of all things Horror Press, James-Michael, has decided to bring the cloven-foot killer that is Krampus into your homes! But this isn’t your ordinary Krampus…this Krampus is chock full of special features and gift wrapped in 4K!
If you haven’t seen Krampus, then what are you doing with your life?
