Scream Factory Releases List of Special Features on Phantom Of the Opera Blu-Ray

I will admit it. I’m a Scream Factory Fanboy.

This past weekend I enjoyed such titles as The Incredible Melting Man, The Nest and Nightbreed  (The Cabel Cut) on blu-ray. These are films that barely deserved to be released on DVD getting Blu-Ray releases with amazing transfers, great special features and most importantly the respect they just barely deserve.

It might seem to a non-horror fan that I’m trashing Scream Factory but it’s completely the opposite. Scream Factory is out there saving B-movies from obscurity, but more than just that they treat these paupers as if they were princes. It seems their planned February 17th release of Phantom of the Opera 1989 is no different.

Freddy Kruger himself, Robert England, stars as the titular character in this gory version of Gaston Leroux’s novel. Directed by Dwight H. Little (Halloween 4) and with make-up from Kevin Yagher (Nightmare on Elm Street 2, 3 & 4) Phantom of the Opera is the culmination of classic gothic horror and late-80’s gore.

Scream Factory is celebrating this film by giving it a beautiful transfer and special features that include a trailer, commentary from England and Little who also are included in the making of documentary that also includes brand-new interviews with actors, Jill Schoelen and Alex Hyde-White, Screenplay writer Duke Sander, Make-Up Designer Kevin Yagher, Make-Up artists John Carl Buechler, Everett Burrell & John Vulich as well as composer Misha Segal.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Thanks to Scream Factory it’s never been a better time to be a horror fan.
