The holidays may be over, but horror fans are already being gifted with big home media announcements in 2017. Following the reveal of Arrow Video's and Well Go USA's respective Phantasm box sets, another fright film franchise, Wishmaster, is now getting the Blu-ray collection treatment from Lionsgate's Vestron Video Collector's Series.

Blu-ray.com reports that the ninth entry in Lionsgate's Vestron Video Collector's Series will be a Blu-ray collection of all four Wishmaster films. Special features have not yet been revealed, but the Blu-ray collection is scheduled to hit shelves on March 28th, and you can take a look at the cover art below (via Bloody Disgusting).

The Wishmaster franchise kicked off in 1997 with makeup effects legend Robert Kurtzman at the helm and Wes Craven on board as a producer, and it has featured a plethora of horror genre giants across its four-film run. Will you be adding the Wishmaster Blu-ray collection to your home media shelf? Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more details.
