Scream Factory is kicking off the new year with a bunch of new Blu-ray announcements, and the fun continues today with two new additions to their upcoming releases: 1972's Grave of the Vampire and 1988's The Brain.

From Scream Factory: "The 80s VHS staple sci-fi/horror THE BRAIN arrives on Blu-ray for the first time with a planned date of April 30th!

Imagine a pulsating mass of gray matter, expanding in size and strength as it takes control of human minds and devours human bodies. It could never happen, right? Just watch Independent Thinking, starring Dr. Anthony Blakely (David Gale, Re-Animator), a hot new TV program. But as the show's ratings continue to soar, so does the suicide and murder rate among its viewers. What they don't know is that Dr. Blake has teamed with an alien brain and plans to gain control of all humanity. From the Director of Bloody Birthday.

Extras are in progress and will be announced on a later date.

From Scream Factory: "The obscure 70s cult film THE GRAVE OF THE VAMPIRE (starring B-movie icon William Smith) arrives on Blu-ray for the first time with a planned date of April 16th! Check out the crazy original theatrical cover and synopsis below...

The vampire Caleb Croft has awakened from his unholy slumber — with an insatiable lust for blood and the pleasures of the flesh. A brutal attack on a pair of lovers allows for his desire to be temporarily fulfilled ... but his unspeakable acts leave the woman pregnant with his child. Ignoring all advice, she gives birth to the progeny of their unwanted union: James — who will only drink blood from his mother's breast. As James matures, he learns of his father's true nature, and sets out to destroy him.

Extras and specs are in progress and will be announced on a later date.
