Scream Factory has announced that it is working on a brand new Collector's Edition of George Romero's cult film Creepshow (1982), starring Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Fritz Weaver, Leslie Nielsen, and Carrie Nye. The release is expected to arrive on the market this fall.
The label has also confirmed that the upcoming release will be sourced from a brand new remaster of the film and will feature exclusive new bonus features. Final technical specs and bonus features details are expected to be announced in September.
Additionally, the release will come with a rigid slipcover (similar to the one that was prepared for the release of Nightbreed) that will house a Blu-ray case and a collectible booklet featuring a new essay from Michael Gingold (Fangoria, Rue-Morgue, Dellirium). The newly-commissioned artwork pictured on the slipcase below is from Laz Marquez (Army of Darkness, The Howling and Lifeforce steelbooks).
Synopsis: Five creepy tales are strung together by a framing story involving a young boy being punished by his father for reading the gruesome, titular comic book. "Father's Day" tells the tale of a family patriarch exacting beyond-the-grave revenge on the daughter who murdered him. In "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill," a Maine hayseed is overtaken by a meteor-based plant growth. A cuckolded husband exacts watery revenge on his cheating wife and her lover in "Something to Tide You Over." A hairy beast in a box is used for nefarious purposes at a university in "The Crate." Finally, in "They're Creeping Up on You," a wealthy, arrogant New Yorker with a fear of germs has a disturbing run-in with cockroaches during a blackout.
