John Carpenter’s cult classic IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS will finally be getting a Blu-ray release this Halloween season; October 15th, to be exact. While not one of the horror master’s greatest achievements, the film certainly has a creepy atmosphere that crawls under the skin, as well as some memorably freaky make-up effects.
In case you’re unfamiliar with the film:
Sutter Cane (Jurgen Prochnow) is the best selling author whose newest novel is literally driving readers insane. When he inexplicably vanishes, his publisher (Charlton Heston) sends special investigator John Trent (Sam Neill) to track him down. Drawn to a town that only exists in Cane’s books, Trent crosses the barrier between fact and fiction and enters a terrifying world from which there is no escape.
It’s too early for special features, but we’ll update you as soon as we know more.
