BAD MOON is rising via Scream Factory Blu-Ray on July 19th and they've finally announced their special features. The Eric Red werewolf picture came in a dark time for the horror film, the pre-SCREAM mid-90's, so its loving resurrection is a great benefit to fans looking for something to care about from that period.

I haven't actually seen the movie yet, but I can hardly think of a better way to pop my BAD MOON cherry. You can pre-order the disc RIGHT HERE.
Full, crescent, quarter… each is a Bad Moon for Ted Harrison. By day, he's a photojournalist visiting family in the Pacific Northwest. By night, he transfigures into a horrific half-human – a werewolf. Dead men tell no tales, so Ted's sure he alone knows about his vile double life. The secret, however, may be out. The family dog Thor, devoted to defending the household, has his suspicions.
Writer/director Eric Red (Cohen and Tate, Body Parts) delivers a new infusion of thrills with this red blooded shocker. Michael Paré (Streets of Fire) portrays Ted, hiding his accursed condition from his sister (Mariel Hemmingway, Lipstick, Star 80) and nephew (Mason Gamble). What better way to hide it than to create suspicion that the local killings are the work of another – especially if that other is the family's all-too-wise German shepherd!
BAD MOON stars Mariel Hemingway, Michael Paré, and Mason Gamble. It came out on November 1st, 1996.
