The FANGORIA DVD/Blu-ray Chopping List just got another overhaul, and with it have come a few scoops on upcoming release dates, newly announced titles and freshly unveiled cover art. Check ’em all out past the jump.

• Fango got the first word that the ultragory Hong Kong horror DREAM HOME (pictured left) will hit DVD from IFC Films and MPI Media Group August 9. Check out our review of the film, which stars producer Josie Ho as a woman who literally kill to get the apartment she covets, here, and see our exclusive video interview with director Pang Ho-Cheung here. We also have cover art for IFC/MPI’s EXORCISMUS, out June 7, and MPI’s previously announced MACHETE MAIDENS UNLEASHED!, coming July 26, as well as the scoop that it’ll include a filmmaker commentary track, while IFC/MPI’s WE ARE WHAT WE ARE, out the same day, will come with a making-of featurette. And we were informed that MPI sister company Dark Sky Films will issue the controversial DEADGIRL on Blu-ray August 30.

• Anchor Bay Entertainment has announced that it will release the serial-killer film MEDIUM RAW: NIGHT OF THE WOLF on DVD August 16. It was written and directed by DARK RISING’s Andrew Cymek, who also stars as Johnny, a detective who has tracked down “The Wolf,” the maniac responsible for slaying 15 little girls, including Johnny’s sister when he was a child. Unfortunately, a power outage at the asylum where the Wolf is imprisoned—and where Johnny’s girlfriend (Brigitte Kingsley) is a staff psychiatrist—releases the crazed inmates, precipitating a night of horror. John Rhys-Davies, X FILES’ Cigarette Smoking Man William B. Davis and the HATCHET films’ Mercedes McNab co-star; the disc’s anamorphic 1.78:1 transfer with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound will be supplemented by:

• Audio commentary by Cymek

• Alternate ending

• Deleted and extended scenes

• Trailer

Retail price is $22.98; see the trailer below.

• SMILE, says Armand Assante in a new chiller coming on DVD from Image Entertainment Aug. 16. An Italian production directed by Francesco Gasperoni, it features Assante as a shop owner who sells a group of vacationing youths a vintage instant camera. When they start using it, they discover that anyone whose picture they take starts dying in ways connected to the photos. The disc will feature an anamorphic 1.78:1 transfer with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and no special features announced; retail price is $27.97. Check out that trailer below.

• Once again on Aug. 16, Cinema Epoch introduces you to LIZARD BOY, and we’ve got the DVD art. Directed by Paul Della Pelle from a script he wrote with Bruce Brown, this one’s about a geneticist tapped by the government to experiment human/animal hybrids, and creates a half-human/half-reptile “son” that goes on a rampage in a small mountain town. No extra features have been announced for this one either; retail price is $19.98. And, yep, you can see the trailer below. We’ve also got the cover for CAMP HELL, the religious-themed horror/drama featuring Bruce Davison and Jesse Eisenberg that we previously reported on here.
