The talented team from Hive FX also shows fans how they give life to the monsters of "Grimm;" and GRIMM GUIDE: An interactive book that provides insight into the various creatures featured in the show; plus limited edition packaging with exclusive "Grimm" collector cards. Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $74.98.
