The wait is over! Scream Factory for the win yet again! The gang from Shout Factory is currently at the Horrorhound Weekend in Indianapolis and as promised, they’ve made a big announcement of 6 (!) titles we can expect from them in 2013, most of which are making their Blu-Ray debuts. Special features from the original DVD releases will be carted over along with all new special features being created specifically for these Blu-Ray releases.
