Lifeforce Collector's Edition Sold Out, New Blu-ray Edition Coming Up

Scream Factory, the horror-thriller offshoot of independent film distributor Shout Factory, announced today that its Collector's Edition of Tobe Hooper's sci-fi thriller Lifeforce is now sold out.

Scream Factory will release a new Blu-ray edition Lifeforce, but not all of the content from the Collector's Edition will be available on it. Here's what will be different on all future pressings:

• The vintage "Making of Lifeforce" featurette will no longer be available.
• Artwork is slightly different: The original theatrical artwork (pictured here) is now front-facing, and the Justin Osbourn-created piece will be on the reverse wrap.
• The "Collector's Edition" branding will be removed.
• Slipcover will not be offered.
• The "Collector's Edition" release had a suggested retail price of $29.93. The new version will be $22.97.

According to Scream Factory, the change-of-plans is unique only to this release, and there will be no future reissues of Collector Editions on a regular basis.

Street date for the new, lower-priced version is set for September 9th.
