"The most fun you'll ever have being scared," George A. Romero and Stephen King's (featuring eye-catching practical effects) ultimate horror anthology Creepshow is coming to Blu-ray this October in a packed Collector's Edition from Scream Factory.
The full list of special features for the Creepshow Collector's Edition will be revealed this September, but in the meantime, we have a look at several versions of cover art and the lithograph that will come with the limited edition Blu-ray:
From Scream Factory: "We are proud (and so unbelievably excited) to reveal today that we are prepping to release the classic George A. Romero and Stephen King 1982 anthology CREEPSHOW this Fall in an all-new upgraded presentation! Because we feel this is a rather huge and beloved title, we are rolling this out a little more uniquely so please read carefully for all the details that we have at the time.
- Naturally, this will be branded as a “Collector’s Edition” but packaged a bit differently than we have done in the past for other CEs. This will come with a rigid slipcover (like what we did with the deluxe version release of Nightbreed) that will house a Blu-ray case and a collectible booklet featuring a new essay from Michael Gingold (Fangoria, Rue-Morgue, Dellirium). The newly-commissioned artwork pictured on the slipcase is from Laz Marquez (Army of Darkness, The Howling and Lifeforce steelbooks).
- The Blu-ray case wrap inside will be reversible featuring original theatrical artwork on both sides. (The “ticket booth” one and the “Comic book” one.)
- New extras and specs are still in progress and will be announced later in September. Rest-assured we have plenty planned and…we are in progress of doing an all-new film transfer!
- This will be the national release which streets on October 23rd. U.S. and Canada territories (Region A).
