What's Next? A Scream update? Oh, wait...: The Last House on the Left

Prior to picking up his first screenwriting credits in about 15 years with the upcoming release of 25/8, Wes Craven produced a remake of The Last House on the Left, a horror film the famed director originally helmed – his first! – way back in 1972. Released early this year in a spring jammed with other horror-thrillers - The Unborn, The Uninvited, Obsessed and The Haunting in Connecticut among them – The Last House on the Left earned an okay $32.7 million in the States (and another $11 million abroad).

Starring Tony Goldwyn and Monica Potter, The Last House on the Left tracks one family's attempt to exact revenge on a group of strangers who have shacked up in their home. Even worse, these same vagabonds shot and left for dead their daughter. How rude.

Disc includes: Deleted scenes, Inside Look featurette

For people who frequent biker bars: Sons of Anarchy: Season One

FX's biggest series at the moment isn't the graying Rescue Me or even plastic surgery fav Nip/Tuck, but rather Sons of Anarchy, a biker drama that averaged a huge 5.4 million viewers in its debut season last year (numbers even first-run True Blood episodes can't beat). The show, starring Charlie Hunnam, Katey "hardest name to remember how to spell" Sagal and Ron Perlman, is loosely based on Shakespeare's Hamlet, an influence that Perlman has been quoted in saying the show will probably stick with for the duration of its run.

If its first-season numbers are no fluke, you can expect to see this one hanging around FX for years to come. Season two stars September 8th.

Disc includes: Audio commentary, The Making of Sons of Anarchy: Season One featurette, Casting Sons of Anarchy featurette, The Ink featurette, The Bikes featurette, deleted scenes, Anarchy on the Set featurette
