Criterion’s 24-hour sale slashes 50% off every Blu-ray (www.polygon.com)

In time for Halloween as well as the beginning of the gift-getting season, Criterion is selling every Blu-ray and DVD in its hallowed collection at 50% off their usual prices for one day only. These sales only happen a few times each year (and when they occur is pretty random), so if you or a loved one (or even a marginally liked one) enjoys adding flick after flick with Criterion’s gorgeous box art to their shelves, we recommend taking advantage of this 24-hour sale that ends 12 p.m. EDT on Oct. 23.

Still a couple of hours to go.

Wow, these movies were really expensive. Even at 50% off, nothing is less than $20.

Criterion has always been like that. But their presentation, design and packaging is always top-notch, their selection of artistically important movies they keep alive and healthy and in circulation truly feels like a labor of love and is worthy of praise.

With Criterion, it's worth it.

This video pretty much explains the appeal despite the high cost of the discs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05XfGmH2zG4
