With the ability to seemingly pop up anywhere, they made some viewers in the ’80's a little wary of stepping foot in their bathrooms, and now the little demonic creatures are getting a high-definition upgrade. Scream Factory has announced they are bringing Ghoulies and Ghoulies II to Blu-ray for the first time next spring, so fans should dig out their W.A.S.P. cassettes and gear up for practical effects aplenty.
Scream Factory revealed they will release Ghoulies and Ghoulies II as a Blu-ray double feature, similar to their upcoming Blacula / Scream, Blacula, Scream release. An official debut date and bonus features have yet to be revealed, but we'll keep Daily Dead readers updated on further announcements.
For those unfamiliar with the films, the first Ghoulies follows a group of young adults dealing with small, rambunctious demons after they invoke them in a black magic ceremony at a mansion. In the sequel, the conniving critters return to wreak havoc at a carnival. Here's the official announcement from Scream Factory:
"Our month-long "Shocktober" celebration continues with two more films to reveal. 1984’s GHOULIES and its 1988 sequel GHOULIES II (Both from Empire Films/Charles Band) will make their debut on the Blu-ray format next Spring as a double-feature!
There are no details on extras at this time and they will be announced sometime next year, along with a confirmed street date.
We still have more films to announce so stay tuned this month here on our page to be the first to see them!"

When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
