Following their Steelbook releases of The Fog, They Live, and Escape from New York, Scream Factory will pay tribute to the Master of Horror once again on March 27th with 10,000 limited edition Steelbooks for both John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness and Assault on Precinct 13.

From Scream Factory: "Our Steelbook® releases this past Summer of The Fog, They Live, and Escape from New York were very successful so we’re offering two more from John Carpenter’s roster next Spring!

PRINCE OF DARKNESS and ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 are being reissued in limited-edition Steelbook packaging with only 10,000 of each being produced. Official Release Date for both is March 27th but they will ship two weeks early if you order directly from us.

- The artwork you see pictured on both come to us from by artist Nathanael Marsh (who also conceived the designs for the last steelbook round). If you order directly from our site, your packaging will also include a 28.5” x 16.5” rolled lithograph of the illustrations. The litho will not be available through any other retailer and only 1,000 of them are being made.

- Steelbooks will be shrinkwrapped. The Blu-rays included inside will have the same content (but with different disc label art) that is currently available in their respective Collector Edition releases.

- To our overseas fans, we regret to inform that we only have US & Canadian territory rights for these films so will be unable to ship internationally from our site, unfortunately.

    Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.

    The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
