Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is bringing Halloween frights to July with the release of three horror movies on Blu-ray. The Exorcism of Emily Rose, I Know What You Did Last Summer and Urban Legend will each be available July 22, 2008, with features that include deleted scenes, director commentary, horror shots, music videos, featurettes and more.
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Attorney Erin Bruner takes on both church and state when she is assigned to defend a priest in court. The prosecution alleges murder, but the priest denies any wrongdoing, claiming the young victim needed spiritual help with her demons and that she died after he performed an exorcism. Through the course of the trial Bruner must piece together the turn of events—all seemingly logical, but still eerily supernatural—that led to the death of Emily Rose. What she discovers will test her belief in science, faith and the battle between good and evil.
Blu-ray Special Features Include:
Director Commentary with Scott Derrickson, Featurettes: Genesis of the Story, Casting of the Movie, Visual Design and Deleted Scenes.

One year later, however, a note shows up saying, “I Know What You Did Last Summer.†When a dark figure wielding a large hook begins to stalk them, the foursome quickly learns that some things don’t always stay buried.

Urban Legend
A group of students at a quaint New England college are taking a class in urban myth and folklore. After class one day they recount urban legends turned deadly, including the alleged murders of 25 students at their own college by a psychology professor. At the forefront of this group is Natalie Simon, an academically-gifted student who is joined by her best friend Brenda Bates, party boy Parker Riley, jokester Damon Brooks and aspiring journalist Paul Gardener. Soon after this discussion these friends and their classmates start to be brutally killed and somehow Natalie is connected to every one. Certain dark truths bubble up from Natalie’s past and she must use this knowledge in order to stop the violence – before she becomes the subject of her very own urban legend.
