Last Updated on July 22, 2021

Scream Factory continues to roll out new title announcements throughout their month-long 'Shocktober' celebration, and just a day after we brought you the news that the leading curator and home entertainment provider of many memorable cult movie classics announced the upcoming Blu-ray releases of ONCE BITTEN and LOVE AT FIRST BITE, Scream Factory has shared the news that they will be bringing us the sci-fi thriller SUPERNOVA and the 1970's cult classics BLACULA and SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM in 2015.

On January 13, 2015, the sci-fi thriller SUPERNOVA makes its debut on the Blu-ray format. Check out the all-over-the-place cast of some well-known names and cult film favorites: James Spader ("The Blacklist"), Angela Bassett ("American Horror Story") , Lou Diamond Phillips (THE FIRST POWER), Robert Forster (JACKIE BROWN), Peter Facinelli (TWILIGHT), Wilson Cruz ("My So-Called Life") and Robin Tunney ("THE CRAFT").

Supernova chronicles the search and rescue patrol of a medical ship in deep space in the early 22nd century and its six-member crew which includes a Captain and Pilot, a co-pilot, a medical officer, a medical technician, a search and rescue paramedic, and a computer technician. When their vessel, the Nightingale 229, answers an emergency distress signal from a comet mining operation in a distant galaxy, the crew soon finds itself in danger from the mysterious young man they rescue, the alien artifact he's smuggled aboard, and the gravitational pull of a giant star about to supernova. The resulting explosion will be the most massive explosion in the universe.

In February, a blood-sucking double feature of guilty pleasures BLACULA and its sequel SCREAM, BLACULA SCREAM from the 70s will bare their fangs on Blu-ray for the first time in the U.S. and Canada. Both films star William Marshall as “Blacula” (and who also played “King of Cartoons” in Pee-wee’s Playhouse—out from Shout Factory on 10/21) and the legendary Pam Grier (FOXY BROWN) is third-billed in SCREAM, BLACULA SCREAM.

1972's BLACULA goes like this:

An ancient African prince, turned into a vampire by Dracula himself, finds himself in modern Los Angeles.

1973's SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM has the following synopsis:

The vampire Mamuwalde (Blacula) is stirred by African voodoo, and is forced to kill again.

Artwork you see here is final. There are no details on extras at this time but they will be announced before the end of the year.
