THE FOG and THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN coming to Blu-ray this July!

Here's a huge helping dose of awesome news for all you classic horror fans out there! Shout!/Scream Factory has announced that they are releasing THE FOG and THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN onto Blu-ray in July! Both discs will be loaded with cool extras, gorgeous high-def transfers, and rockin' cover art! Here's the lowdown via the press release I received the other day. Get excited and put aside some cash for these discs!

THE FOG ROLLS IN ON COLLECTOR'S EDITION DVD & BLU-RAY, FROM SCREAM FACTORY!

A weather beaten old fisherman tells an ancient tale of betrayal and death to fascinated children as they huddle together by their campfire. As a piece of driftwood in a child’s hands glows with spectral light an eerie fog envelops the bay and from it’s midst emerge dripping demonic victims of a century old shipwreck… seeking revenge.

 THE FOG Collector’s Edition bonus features NEW SCREAM FACTORY EXTRAS: 
· New HD transfer of the film supervised by Director of Photography Dean Cundey

· Exclusive interview with Actress Jamie Lee Curtis discussing The Fog and covering her legendary early 80s “Scream Queen” career.

· Audio commentary featuring Actress Adrienne Barbeau, Actor Tom Atkins and Production Designer Tommy Lee Wallace.

· Retrospective interview with Director of Photography Dean Cundey about his many legendary collaborations with John Carpenter.

· Horror’s Hallowed Grounds – A Look At The Film’s Locations with host Sean Clark

Extras from the MGM prior release include:
· Tales From The Mist: Inside The Fog Featurette

· Fear On Film: Inside The Fog Featurette

· The Fog: Storyboard To Film Featurette

· Outtakes

 · Theatrical Trailers & TV Spots

· Photo Gallery and Storyboards

· Audio Commentary With Writer/Director John Carpenter And Writer/Producer Debra Hill.

Also, as always, the DVD & Blu-ray will have awesome custom artwork, BUT, it is dual-sided so you can flip the cover over and sport the original poster art! (Yet another reason to love Shout!/Scream Factory!)

I absolutely love THE FOG (read my old review for it HERE) and can't wait to get my paws on this Blu-ray!

PRE-ORDER IT ON DVD AT AMAZON.COM FOR $14.99!
PRE-ORDER IT ON BLU-RAY AT AMAZON.COM FOR $26.94!


Also coming out on July 31st is the Blu-ray for THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN. This is the first time this title has been on Blu-ray and now you can enjoy one of the more notorious creature features of the late 70's in glorious high definition!

SYNOPSIS:
He was once the hero… now he’s the hunted!

Colonel Steve West has just returned from an incredible history-making flight to Saturn when he is hospitalized with an ailment that baffles the entire medical community. His flesh is melting and to stay alive he must consume human flesh and blood. The infected Colonel West escapes from the doctors’ supervision and hides in the surrounding community where he begins to hunt for human flesh. Who can stop the Incredible Melting Man?

This movie features the early makeup f/x work by the great Rick Baker, and has the (some would say dubious) honor of being riffed on Mystery Science Theater 3000! (Of course... you do know that this means we could very well see said episode of MST3K in the near future! YAY!)

Info on extras has yet to be announced, so keep your eyes peeled for more updates on this upcoming Shout! Factory release!

PRE-ORDER THE BLU-RAY ON AMAZON.COM FOR $17.97!
