In the early ’90s, George A. Romero and Dario Argento came together for Two Evil Eyes, a film featuring two short films based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, with one segment directed by Romero and the other helmed by Argento, and now Scorpion Releasing is working on a Blu-ray release of the movie made by horror royalty.

Blu-ray.com reports that that the folks at Scorpion Releasing are hard at work on a Blu-ray release of Two Evil Eyes, which is believed to be coming out sometime this year.

Romero's segment, "The Facts in the Case of Mr. Valdemar," reunited The Fog co-stars Adrienne Barbeau and Tom Atkins, while Argento's "The Black Cat" featured the likes of Harvey Keitel, Sally Kirkland, and Julie Benz.

We'll keep Daily Dead readers updated as more information is revealed, and in the meantime, check out the film's synopsis and trailer:

Synopsis (via Blu-ray.com): "The masters of modern horror – George Romero and Dario Argento – bring you an unprecedented pair of shockers inspired by the tales of Edgar Allan Poe. In Romero's 'The Facts In The Case Of Mr. Valdemar', a conniving wife (Adrienne Barbeau of 'The Fog') and her lover use a hypnotic trance to embezzle a fortune from her dying husband, only to receive some chilling surprises from beyond the grave. Then in Argento's 'The Black Cat', a deranged crime scene photographer (Harvey Keitel of 'Reservoir Dogs') is driven to brutal acts of madness and murder by his girlfriend's new pet. But will this cunning feline deliver a final sickening twist of its own?"
