Earlier today at Comic-Con, Warner Archive confirmed that it is preparing Blu-ray releases of two catalog titles: Irwin Allen's
The Swarm (1978) and Buzz Kulik's
Bad Ronald (1974). The two releases are expected to arrive on the market later this year.
Bad Ronald
Synopsis: How bad is Ronald? The Wood family finds out when they move into a house with an extra the realtor didn't know about: teenage Ronald, who's been hiding in a secret room ever since he killed a neighbor girl. Ronald was a little weird when he entered the room. Now he's creepy-scary crazy. And he finds the three pretty Wood daughters very, very interesting. A fine cast that includes Scott Jacoby (The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane), Kim Hunter (Planet of the Apes) and Dabney Coleman (Tootsie) maintains a nerve-tightening atmosphere of suspense as Ronald begins terrorizing the unsuspecting family. Bad Ronald. Great horror flick!
The Swarm
Synopsis Producer/director Irwin Allen (
The Towering Inferno) now unleashes an end-of-the-world thriller based on scientific fact. In Africa and South America, killer bees are a reality. Now THE SWARM is on the move... into North America! There are enough stars for five movies - Michael Caine, Katharine Ross, Richard Widmark, Olivia de Havilland, Henry Fonda, Fred MacMurray, Richard Chamberlain, Jose Ferrer, Patty Duke Astin, Lee Grant and Bradford Dillman. But the scene-stealers are the supporting cast: an estimated 22-million bees, deftly deployed to depict deadly attacks on people and places. It's a nightmare that will give you quite a buzz!
