This summer, Scream Factory will take viewers into a haunted house where something sinister goes "bump" in the night with their Blu-ray and DVD release of The Axe Murders of Villisca.

Scream Factory will release The Axe Murders of Villisca on Blu-ray and DVD on June 6th. Special features have not been announced, but you can check out the official announcement and cover art below.

From Scream Factory: "We are pleased to announce that we have a new IFC Midnight film planned for release on Blu-ray & DVD this June!

THE AXE MURDERS OF VILLISCA – Witness a new horror inspired by the true events that shocked a nation! On a June night in 1912, the peaceful town of Villisca suffered an unfathomable crime. Eight people—a mother, father, their four children, and two guests—were brutally murdered by an axe-wielding killer in a case that remains unsolved to this day. 104 years later, Caleb (Robert Adamson) and Denny (Jarrett Sleeper), two friends who share an interest in ghost hunting, and new girl in school Jess (Alex Frnka) sneak into the house where the infamous bloodbath occurred in hopes of recording paranormal activity. But nothing has prepared them for the supernatural force waiting to write the next chapter in the home's bloody history.
