Scream Factory continues their streak of excellence in the spring with brand new Blu-ray/DVD editions of the cult classics PHANTASM II and FROM BEYOND. The company has just announced the street dates for both discs, although unfortunately there is still no word on the special features. Knowing the Scream Factory, however, I’d be willing to bet that these suckers are packed.

PHANTASM II: Released after seven years in a mental hospital, Mike convinces his old pal Reggie to join forces with him to hunt down and destroy The Tall Man once and for all. Mike’s visions lead the two to a quiet little town where a horde of flying killer balls aim to slice and dice their gruesome way through everyone.
FROM BEYOND: The Resonator, a powerful machine that can control the sixth sense, has killed its creator and sent his associate into an insane asylum. But when a beautiful psychiatrist becomes determined to continue the experiment, she unwittingly opens the door to a hostile parallel universe… and to the deviant behavior within the human psyche. With its victims becoming creatures who feed on – and become aroused by – human brains, the Resonator is the ultimate man-made monster. And now something’s gone horribly wrong and no one can turn it off!
