There’s still a pretty surreal mood covering the country after the events of the past week, which makes it the perfect time to curl up to the films of David Cronenberg. The master of body horror has never been afraid to go to the edge, and diving into his catalog could prove to be cathartic. And we’re going to help some lucky readers do just that.

This month, Shout! Factory is releasing Collector’s Editions of two of Cronenberg’s stone cold classics on Blu-ray: “Dead Ringers” and “Rabid.” The former stars Jeremy Irons in dual roles, along with Genevieve Bujold, in the story of brothers Beverly and Elliot Mantle, who are identical twins sharing the same medical practice, apartment and women – including the unsuspecting Claire. Meanwhile, the latter is led by former porn star Marilyn Chambers, as a woman who undergoes radical emergency surgery, only to wind up with an insatiable, deadly, and contagious thirst for blood.
