A few weeks back a couple sites prematurely announced that Scream Factory was going to be releasing a special collector's edition of the Linda Blair 1981 slasher classic HELL NIGHT.
While Scream Factory was a bit upset that the news was leaked early (read their statement below) today they took to Facebook to make the announcement official: Yes, Scream Factory is, in fact, bringing us HELL NIGHT on Blu-ray!
The Collector's Edition Blu-ray & DVD combo will come with a slipcover featuring all-new artwork by artist Justin Osbourn with the reverse side showcasing the awesome original poster art for the flick. That said, the slipcover will be guaranteed for only three months after the new transfer's release on December 12th.
There haven't been any other special features announced for this new collector edition of HELL NIGHT, but Scream Factory says the announcement will be hitting sometime in October. Until then you can check out their official statement on the leaked info below and also the discs new artwork along with the film's original poster art.
After checking through all of that make sure to hit us up and let us know how much you love 1981's HELL NIGHT in the new comments section below or on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram!
Scream Factory on HELL NIGHT:
As some of you already know, this title was leaked on several retailer sites prematurely before we could make a proper announce. The reason we couldn’t address it more publicly once that became more widespread is because we were having some technical difficulties. The title was originally planned for a Late Summer release but needed to be delayed because we became faced with an unforeseen and unwelcome scenario that we could not locate any of the original film elements despite trying many avenues to acquire them. Fortunately though we were able to access a good archival print and it is from this element that we will be doing a 4K scan of the film (including hours of intensive restoration work) so that we can get it to look the best it possibly can.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. We genuinely share your excitement on this particular film (it’s been highly-requested for years) and can’t wait for the final product!
Scream Factory's HELL NIGHT Collector's Edition Blu-ray & DVD hits December 12th!
