John Carpenter’s Body Bags Blu-ray Cover Art

John Carpenter was working on an anthology horror project at Showtime in the 90′s. It never became a full series, but the first segments were collected together into an anthology horror movie, titled Body Bags. The DVD has out-of-print for a while, but Scream Factory will be giving the movie their Collector's Edition treatment, releasing a Body Bags Blu-ray / DVD combo pack in November. Here's a look at the official cover art:

The movie features three main segments, directed by John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper, who also appear in the movie, along with Wes Craven, Sam Raimi, and a number of other genre stars:

Via Blu-ray.com: “Robert Carradine (The Player) and David Naughton (Witchboard II) pump-up for high-octane horror when a satanic serial killer stalks “The Gas Station.” Stacy Keach (False Identity), Deborah Harry (Videodrome) and rock superstar Sheena Eston wig-out in the hair-raising tale of tonsorial terror, “Hair.” And special guest director Tobe Hooper (Poltergeist) takes the reins when Mark Hamill (Star Wars) and Twiggy (The Boyfriend) set their sights on the supernatural and stare Evil right in “The Eye.” So zip yourself up tight and chill out with host John Carpenter in the shock-around-the-clock scarefest that will keep you coming back for morgue! ”

The Body Bags Blu-ray / DVD combo pack does not have a specific release date, but is expected to be available this November. We'll have more details, including the list of bonus features in the coming months.
