We know that John Carpenter fans have been waiting for more of his movies to receive the Blu-ray treatment and Scream Factory just announced that they'll be releasing Prince of Darkness on Blu-ray later this year. The 1987 film will be released as a Blu-ray/DVD collector's edition and, like previous titles from Scream Factory, we expect a decent set of brand new bonus features.

"The terrifying battle between humankind and ultimate evil. A group of graduate students and scientists uncover an ancient canister in an abandoned church, but when they open the container, they inadvertently unleash a strange liquid and an evil force on all humanity. As the liquid turns their co-workers into zombies, the remaining members realize they have released the most unspeakable of horrors, Satan himself, thus paving the way for the return of his father."

Prince of Darkness stars Donald Pleasence, Jameson Parker, Victor Wong, and Lisa Blount. A specific release date has not been announced, but we'll have more details in the coming months.
