In 1976, he took viewers to The Town That Dreaded Sundown, and just a few years later, he introduced them to the horrors of the Monroe house in The Evictors, and Scream Factory has announced that they will release the 1979 horror film on Blu-ray sometime this summer with a fresh film transfer.
From Scream Factory: "We hinted at this in yesterday's flashback on The Town that Dreaded Sundown, now were are officially confirming it: 1979's THE EVICTORS - directed by Charles B. Pierce and starring Jessica Harper (Suspiria) - will be receiving its own solo Blu-ray upgrade with a new film transfer. Expect it to occupy a release date sometime in early Summer."
Synopsis (via Blu-ray.com): "Shortly after moving into a cute farmhouse in a quaint Louisiana town, Ben (Michael Parks) and his wife, Ruth (Jessica Harper), experience strange and disturbing events and soon come to the frightening realization that someone or something wants them dead. Filmed in a pseudo-documentary style, this horror film co-stars Vic Morrow as a creepy real estate agent who neglects to inform the young couple about the property's violent history."
