Shout! Factory has announced its launch of SCREAM FACTORY, a new home entertainment series created to celebrate some of the most enthralling horror and sci-fi films with massive cult followings in cinematic history.
Starting this September, SCREAM FACTORY has one hell of a line up of fan-favorite thrillers from the 1980s, many of which have never been available on Blu-ray. The first wave includes Halloween II and the 30th Anniversary release of Halloween III: Season of the Witch; They Live, The Island, The Funhouse, Phantasm II, Terror Train and the DVD debuts of Deadly Blessing and Death Valley. Each title will be presented in anamorphic widescreen, and most will be released in a "Collector's Edition" with new bonus content, archival materials, a collectible cover featuring newly rendered retro-style artwork, a reversible wrap with original theatrical key art and more!
On September 18, 2012, Shout! Factory will release Halloween II Collector's Edition and Halloween III: Season of the Witch 30th Anniversary Special Collector's Edition on Blu-ray and DVD.
HALLOWEEN II Collector's Edition Blu-ray & DVD
Starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence, Halloween II follows the same ill-fated characters as they encounter the knife-wielding maniac they left for dead in the first film. It seems the inhuman Michael Myers is still very much alive and out for more revenge as he stalks the deserted halls of the Haddonfield hospital. As he gets closer to his main target, Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) discovers the chilling mystery behind the crazed psychopath's actions. Written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill, Halloween II is a spine-tingling dark ride into the scariest night of the year.
