The Vestron Video Collector’s Series strikes again, this time compiling all of the Wishmaster movies into one Blu-ray package. That’s right: ALL FOUR WISHMASTER MOVIES. Binge-watch this set of late-1990s/early-2000s cult-horror flicks, which range in quality from awesome to awesomely terrible, at your own risk.
The first one, of course, is produced by Wes Craven, and stars a rogue’s gallery of horror-movie fan favorites, including Robert Englund, Tony Todd, Kane Hodder, and Ted Raimi. In the sequel, Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies, Andrew Divoff reprises his role as the sinister djinn. The subsequent films (Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell and Wishmaster: The Prophecy Fulfilled) are... somewhat less memorable.
Still, this three-disc set—out March 28, according to the Vestron Video Collector’s Series Facebook page—looks like a must-own for cult horror completists. Here’s a list of the special features (kudos to whoever coined “Wishmasterpiece Theater”), followed by the box artwork and a trailer.

DISCUSSION
Kind of lame how they’re putting the last 2 movies on the same disc. I get that they’re kind of an afterthought, but it would still be nice to have them on their own discs for the sake of having them at a higher bitrate.
