Shout Factory has officially announce that it will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ted Post's classic western Hang 'Em High (1968), starring Clint Eastwood, Inger Stevens, Ed Begley, Pat Hingle, and Ben Johnson. The release will be available for purchase on December 11th.
Technical specs and supplemental features to be included on this upcoming release have not yet been detailed.
Synopsis: They riddled him with bullets. They strung him up. They left him to die. But they made two fatal mistakes: they hanged the wrong man ... and they didn't finish the job.
Oklahoma, 1873: Jed Cooper (Clint Eastwood), mistaken for a rustler and killer, is lynched on the spot by crooked lawman Captain Wilson (Ed Begley) and a rampaging band of vigilantes. But as Wilson and his gang flee the scene, there's one very important detail they've overlooked — Cooper is still alive! Saved in the nick of time by a sheriff, Cooper takes on the job of deputy marshal in order to bring hard-handed justice to the Oklahoma territory ... and to the nine men who "done him wrong." Co-starring Inger Stevens and Pat Hingle, Hang 'Em High is a savage and action-packed western adventure, presented to you in this celebratory 50th Anniversary Edition.

The label has also dated and revealed the official cover art for the upcoming Collector's Editions of John Carpenter's Starman (1984) and Terence Fisher's Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966).
Starman
When his spacecraft is shot down over Wisconsin, an alien (Jeff Bridges) arrives at the remote cabin of a distraught young widow, Jenny Hayden (Karen Allen), and clones itself into the form of her recently deceased husband. The alien coerces the shell-shocked Jenny to drive him to a pickup point hundreds of miles away, explaining that if he doesn't meet his mothership in three days, he'll die. Hot on their trail are government agents, intent on seizing him, dead or alive. En route, Jenny turns from captive to captivated as the alien re-awakens her humanity ... Starman is "a wonderful film that combines science fiction, road movies, and romance into an engaging, very entertaining whole" (TV Guide)!
STREET DATE: DECEMBER 18.
Dracula: Prince of Darkness
Synopsis: Four English tourists find themselves stranded in the mysterious village of Karlsbad, a sinister and remote place with a deadly, dark legend. Their journey leads them to an abandoned castle where a nightmarish destiny awaits them: an evil in need of resurrection, a blood-craving beast known only as Count Dracula, Prince of Darkness (Christopher Lee, The Lord Of The Rings films, Wicker Man). Released in 1966, this film presents the legendary Lee's second outing as Dracula, with Hammer Films pushing the cinematic boundaries of graphic gore and terror.
