Today, Scream Factory shared the official cover art for their upcoming Collector's Edition Blu-ray & DVD release of Motel Hell, along with the release date:

"Check out the new key art for our upcoming Collector's Edition of the cannibalistic chainsaw-wielding slasher MOTEL HELL! This awesome interpretation comes to us from veteran Scream Factory artist Nathan Thomas Milliner (Day of the Dead, Sleepaway Camp, The Burning, etc.)

The blu-ray release is planned for August 12th and we'll have full details on extras to report to you in early Summer. Pre-order links on our site at http://www.shoutfactory.com/screamfactory should appear in May in which a limited edition 18" x 24" poster of the art you see here will be available exclusively through us with purchase of the combo.

And yes, as always, the reverse wrap art will showcase the original theatrical poster art, in this case it's the U.S. iconic "heads in the garden screaming" one with Ida and Vincent standing behind them."

Synopsis: “It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent fritters!” cackle the brother-and-sister team behind the finest smoked meats in the county. They also run the friendly Motel Hello (the ‘o’ in the neon sign sometimes goes on the blink), and no matter how many times you’ve seen Psycho or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, you can be sure that everything will be perfectly above board here as Vincent’s brother Bruce is the local sheriff.

Western veteran Rory Calhoun gives a lipsmackingly demented performance as Farmer Vincent, whose twinkling bonhomie conceals a deeply depraved secret.

Directed by Kevin Connor (maker of much-loved British genre classics The Land That Time Forgot and Warlords of Atlantis) and with legendary DJ Wolfman Jack as a fire-and-brimstone TV preacher, this is a gleefully twisted horror-comedy that climaxes with a showstopping chainsaw duel."
