Scream Factory Announces February Releases

Last night I was in my living room watching the Scream Factory blu-ray release of Night of the Demons. My roommate wandered downstairs from his bedroom to smoke a cigarette and saw me watching it and snarkily stated “Oh yeah, this definitely deserves to be seen in Hi-Def”.

To this I say to my roommate… yes, yes it does. That’s the magic of Scream Factory (as I’ve said before), they understand horror fans. They know that while most people look at a movie like Final Exam or The Town that Dreaded Sundown they see a poorly made, cheap horror film that a horror fan sees something worthy of the Criterion collection treatment.

That’s why I couldn’t be more existed to read that on February 10th they’ll be releasing such Vampire Rom-Com classics as Love at First Bite and Once Bitten (starring a very young Jim Carrey) as well as High Spirits and Vampire’s Kiss. Even more incredible is that Vampire’s Kiss will include commentary from the eccentric Nicholas Cage. Honestly the only thing missing to make this the ultimate Vampire comedy collection is (my personal favorite) My Best Friend is a Vampire (Dear Scream Factory, I know you’re reading this… make that happen).

The highlight of their February line up is the Blu-Ray release of New Years Evil on February 24th. This is one of the most bizarre “holiday themed” slasher/thrillers out there. This Scream Factory release is going to come equipped with director’s commentary and a making of featurette.

In other news yesterday Scream Factory announced the release of the amazingly terrible Howling II: My Sister is a Werewolf will be released on Blu-Ray this summer. Today Candyman II: Farewell to Flesh was made available on their website.
