Dr. DeMarco (John Carradine) has some time to kill after getting fired, and he uses that free time to create a monster capable of killing in The Astro-Zombies. Fans of the Ted V. Mikels movie are in luck, as Kino Lorber recently announced an upcoming Blu-ray and DVD release of the 1968 film.

Kino Lorber announced The Astro-Zombies Blu-ray and DVD news on Facebook, revealing that the new release will feature a "brand new 2016 HD master." While an exact release date has yet to be revealed, the Blu-ray and DVD are expected to come out soon.

Written and directed by Ted V. Mikels, The Astro-Zombies stars Wendell Corey, John Carradine, Tom Pace, Joan Patrick, Victor Izay, and Tura Satana as Satana.

Synopsis (via Blu-ray.com): "After being fired from the Space Agency, the disgruntled (not to mention crazy) Dr. DeMarco creates an Astroman from a criminal's dead body. However, he loses control of his creation, which goes on a killing spree, attracting the attention of an international spy ring and the CIA."
