Get Scared Shrekless at Tesco Entertainment Online this Halloween

LONDON, September 29, 2011 -

Just in time for some Halloween scaring, Tesco Entertainment Online launches exclusive sale of Scared Shrekless, a frightfully funny 30-minute DVD feature based on the Shrek movie series.

All your favourite characters are back in this hilarious family comedy, which is set after the events of Shrek Forever After and takes place on Halloween. Shrek and his fairy-tale friends end up in Lord Farquaad’s haunted castle, trading increasingly spooky stories to try to scare each other, with hilarious results.

From today, pre-orders to buy the DVD online are being accepted at tesco.com/entertainment. All pre-orders are protected by the Tesco Pre-Order Price Promise which means all pre-order customers are guaranteed to pay the lowest price should the release day price be lower than the pre-order price. In addition, pre-order customers will receive the DVD on the day of release, 3 October.

Scared Shrekless is available for pre-order for just £5. Alternatively, you can purchase it on the day of release in-store or online from Tesco Entertainment Online from 3 October.

Scared Shrekless is the latest in a series of rib-tickling animated shorts from the creators of Shrek. The Shrek movie series is one of the most popular film series of all time; it follows the story of Shrek, an ogre who used to live a solitary life in a swamp in a fairy-tale kingdom, who finds out through love and friendship that life is better with friends. With his better half and fellow ogre Fiona, best-friend Donkey and a host of other fairy-tale buddies, Shrek gets himself involved in all sorts of comedy capers as he clashes with a number of colourful villains.

In addition to this fantastic animated short, the Scared Shrekless DVD includes a side-splitting Shrek parody of Michael Jackson’s music video Thriller. Featuring the voices of Mike Myers, and Antonio Banderas, Scared Shrekless is a fun family-friendly escapade that will have both kids and parents alike doubled over with laughter.
