Happy Halloween everyone! To continue our tradtition here’s a little treat for you:

I’ve uploaded six frightening The Crazies clips to the Video Archives, click on the thumbnails below to download. But be sure to get the film on DVD if you haven’t yet, and watch the whole movie with your friends tonight!

Have safe fun!

As promissed, I’ve updated the gallery with screencaptures from The Crazies DVD special features. There are 4 featurettes, an audio commentary with director Breck Eisner, and a lot more included in both the Blu-Ray and DVD releases, so you should get your copy asap if you haven’t done so yet =)

My personal favorite is the behind the scenes featurette because it includes fragments of interviews with the main cast and crew. Danielle Panabaker appears in the following features:

• Behind the Scenes with Director Breck Eisner
• Paranormal Pandemics
• Behind the Scenes Photogallery (Just one pic =/)
• Easter Egg – Private Screening (Released online back in February)

Expect video clips from the film next month!

I have now added screencaptures of Danielle’s performance as Becca Darling in The Crazies!  In the film she plays Judy’s (Radha Mitchell) assistant at the medical clinic in a small town in Iowa, one of the four still sane residents that try to survive an apocaliptic situation when a virus that causes insanity followed by death is spread.

Even though Danielle’s appearance is rather small, she was great in her role. The movie itself is one of the best horror films I’ve seen in years. It isn’t perfect but it’s much better than most recent remakes, including Friday the 13th.

To access the screencaps click on any of the following thumbnails, but please proceed with caution, all of Danielle’s screentime is obviously spoiled. If you haven’t seen the film you should get the DVD!

Expect special features and clips next month!

The day weve been waiting for has arrived…THE CRAZIES are NOW available on Blu-ray and DVD! Remember to pick up your copy today! Click here to visit the official Facebook page and maybe win a copy or two

Expect HD screencaptures first thing tomorrow!

I know it’s probably too late but I FINALLY got the chance to see The Crazies at my local theater last night (yeah it sure took me nearly four months) so I’ve updated the film’s section with the first D-Panabaker.Org original review.

From the beginning of the movie you can tell there’s something wrong in the town, one of the very first scenes features Danielle Panabaker, which is great. But about five minutes later we get the first dark incident, it unleashes a series of horrific (and sometimes very exciting) situations that don’t stop until the end. There’s a creepy claustrophobic vibe during the entire film, and most of the time you find yourself seating at the edge of your seat just to end up getting a jump scare. That’s really how the whole film works, which is great because it keeps you interested, but it gets so common that you just know it’s going to happen again…

Grab your shotguns and pitchforks, because THE CRAZIES are being unleashed on Blu-ray and DVD June 29 (US & Canada) / July 19 (UK)!

From the Press Release:
Something strange is happening in the picture-perfect Midwestern town of Ogden Marsh. One by one, the inhabitants are transforming into mindless killers…and no one is immune. On June 29th, Anchor Bay Entertainment will unleash The Crazies on DVD and Blu-ray™ (Pre-book May 27, 2010). A terrifying reinvention of the George A. Romero classic, the Overture Films release shocked audiences with its nightmarish vision of the American Dream gone horribly wrong, as a husband and wife find themselves battling for survival as their friends and family descend into homicidal madness. Directed by Breck Eisner (Sahara) and starring Timothy Olyphant (“Deadwood,” “Justified”), Radha Mitchell (Surrogates), Joe Anderson (Across The Universe) and Danielle Panabaker (Friday the 13th), The Crazies are ready to overtake America all over again! In addition, the film marks the first time an Anchor Bay Entertainment title will be available day-and-date for digital download via iTunes.

The Crazies DVD and Blu-ray™ features more than 90 minutes of bonus features, including several behind-the-scenes featurettes, storyboards, theatrical trailers, TV spots, and much, much more. Look carefully and you might even find an Easter Egg! SRP is $29.98 for the DVD and $39.98 for the Blu-ray™ edition, which also contains a bonus disc with a digital copy of the film. Among the featurettes are a tribute to the original film’s creator George Romero and an insider’s glimpse into the startling special makeup effects created by makeup wizard Robert Hall (“Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” Laid To Rest).
