Scream Factory made not one, but two surprise title announcements this weekend at the Halloween: 35 Years of Terror convention. Both 2002's Dog Soldiers and 2000's Ginger Snaps will be coming to Blu-ray in 2014.

Both titles will be released under Scream Factory's "Collector's Edition" series, so expect extensive extras, including new bonus features. We'll have more details on both titles in the coming months. Until then, here are the plot descriptions and trailers for both movies:

Later that night, as Ginger's wounds miraculously heal, it is clear she is changing. Ginger wants to believe it is nothing more than the onset of puberty; but her sister Brigitte knows better . . ."

Finding refuge with a family in a nearby house, the owner tells them about werewolves who hunt in the area, and the soldiers begin to dig in, preparing for a big fight. Meanwhile, Ryan begins to undergo some unexpected changes..."
