In the family-friendly gateway to young horror fans, "Little Monsters is the story of Brian (Fred Savage), a sixth-grader who’s recently moved to a new town and made friends with Maurice (Howie Mandel) — the monster who lives under Brian's bed! Maurice introduces Brian to the world of monsters, where junk food rules, adults aren’t allowed, and the fun and games never end. But when Brian's brother is kidnapped, it’s time for Brian to get serious and fight the monsters on their turf in this zany cult favorite."


As for Cronenberg's timeless take on sexual horror, Shivers on Blu-ray will include five new special features including an all-new audio commentary with David Cronenberg.
