For this week’s edition of The Digital Wire we’ve got more new Blu-ray and DVD release news than a single human being should be legally permitted to process, including some bonus features updates for a few titles on which we have previously reported. There’s so much good stuff here that for many of us our bank accounts are going to be shedding a little weight this autumn.

Below you’ll find info on several future home video releases complete with technical specs, release dates, and links to pre-order at Amazon. We would greatly appreciate it if you use those links to order because a small percentage of each order helps keep this website running at max power. The cover art for certain titles has yet to be finalized.

Back in July we revealed that the highly anticipated home video debut of Nightbreed: The Director’s Cut, which finally restores Clive Barker‘s epic horror-fantasy to its intended length and form, had been set for this October in two different editions. This week Shout! Factory, which is releasing the uncut Nightbreed through its Scream Factory shingle, unveiled the massive array of special features we can expect from both editions.

The Limited Edition is a three-disc Blu-ray set that will come packaged in a slipcase containing a collector’s booklet and whose bonus content breaks down as follows:

The more widely available Director’s Cut release is a two-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo pack that will include all of the bonus content from the first Blu-ray disc of the Limited Edition set as well as a standard-definition DVD copy of the theatrical cut. The release date for both editions is October 28, 2014.

The Purge: Anarchy brings more dystopian chaos and lawlessness to your home on October 21, 2014 in both Blu-ray and DVD editions. Extra features will include:

Extra features have been announced for the upcoming MPI Blu-ray and DVD releases of Jim Mickle‘s tense indie thriller Cold in July:

BBC Home Entertainment will release all three seasons of their popular series Sherlock in a limited edition Blu-ray/DVD combo pack gift set on November 4, 2014. The set will include all-new bonus features, collectible busts of Holmes and Watson, and two art cards. The new features will include:

In addition to these new extras the set will also include every extra from previous Blu-ray and DVD releases of the series.

The 1993 live-action Super Mario Bros. movie had everything a healthy potential summer blockbuster needed: lavish budget, recognizable actors, expensive visual effects, and a connection to one of the most popular video game franchises in human history. Unfortunately it lacked an original story, enthusiastic performances, and the sense that it wasn’t the product of a studio and filmmaking crew that had no idea what kind of film they wanted to make even after it got the green light. The movie flopped so hard with critics and audiences that even The Last Action Hero couldn’t help but shake its head sadly, but in the past two decades Super Mario Bros. has gained a cult following thanks to strong video and DVD sales and cable airings.

U.K. distributor Second Sight Films will be bringing the sole big-screen adventure of plunger-wielding Brooklyn plumbers Mario and Luigi to Region B Blu-ray on November 3, 2014. The disc will include DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and LPCM Stereo 2.0 soundtracks, English subtitles, and the following bonus features:

For anyone who came of age in the late 1980s and thought of watching cartoons on Saturday morning as a necessary ritual of childhood the forthcoming Blu-ray release of Pee-Wee’s Playhouse: The Complete Series is sure to be one of 2014’s most eagerly awaited video debuts.

Each of the series’ 45 episodes has been restored from their original film negatives and the set will include over four hours of behind-the-scenes footage and brand new interviews with star/creator Paul Reubens and various members of the cast and crew, including actors Laurence Fishburne (Cowboy Curtis), S. Epatha Merkerson (Reba the mail lady), Lynne Marie Stewart (Miss Yvonne), and John Paragon (Jambi the genie), composers Mark Mothersbaugh and Danny Elfman, production designers Gary Panter, Wayne White, and Ric Heitzman, animation supervisor Prudence Fenton, animators Peter Lord and David Sproxton, make-up artist Ve Neill, and many more.

These interviews and vintage production footage will be presented in the form of ten new retrospective featurettes:
