Shout Factory and its genre arm Scream Factory have dated five upcoming Blu-ray releases: The Mummy's Shroud (1967), Demons of the Mind (1971), Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971), Brewster's Millions (1985), and Very Bad Things (1998). All five releases will arrive on the market in January.
Please note that exact technical specs and supplemental features to be included on these releases have not yet been revealed. They will be announced as the street date for each release approaches.
Demons of the Mind
Synopsis: In the 19th century, a depraved baron confronts a hereditary curse by imprisoning his two adult children in the family castle. When a nearby village is plagued by a series of murders, the killings trigger a mass hysteria of rituals and sadistic desires. Can these "demons" be destroyed by a power beyond madness ... or will a final onslaught of evil forever torment this land?
Patrick Magee (A Clockwork Orange) and Paul Jones (lead singer of the band Manfred Mann) co-star in this psychological shocker from the director of To The Devil...A Daughter that many Hammer fans consider to be one of the studio's most offbeat and unique horror thrillers ever!
STREET DATE: JANUARY 14.
The Mummy's Shroud
Synopsis: A small archaeological party headed by Sir Basil Walden (Andre Morell, The Plague Of The Zombies) discovers the hidden tomb of Kah-to-Bey. Despite the warning from the guardian, Hasmid, they take Kah-to-Bey to Cairo and place him next to the mummy of Prem, his devoted slave and protector. The mystical hieroglyphic shroud that covers Kah-to-Bey's body is read aloud by Ali and restores Prem to life, resulting in an unstoppable progression of madness and murder.
STREET DATE: JANUARY 14.
Let's Scare Jessica to Death
Synopsis: Released from an institution after suffering a nervous breakdown, Jessica (Zohra Lampert, The Exorcist III) seeks the tranquility of a secluded home in Connecticut to help make her recovery complete. But instead of a restful recuperation with her husband and close friend in the New England countryside, Jessica soon finds herself falling into a swirling vortex of madness and the supernatural! And an even more unsettling discovery is that the entire region seems to be under the influence of a mysterious woman who has been living in the supposedly empty house. Jessica's fear and dread only intensify when she discovers that the "undead" girl, Emily, tragically drowned long ago, on her wedding day. Is she back to take vengeance?
STREET DATE: JANUARY 28.
Very Bad Things
Synopsis: Kyle Fisher (Jon Favreau) heads to Las Vegas for a bachelor party with four friends. When one of them accidentally kills a hired stripper and a security guard finds the body, unstable Boyd (Christian Slater) kills the guard to keep him from calling the cops, then organizes the group to dispose of the corpses. Back home, Kyle is troubled and has difficulty hiding his worries from his fiancée (Cameron Diaz). Meanwhile, to ensure his own safety, Boyd begins killing the others.
STREET DATE: JANUARY 28.
Brewster's Millions: Collector's Edition
Synopsis: Minor league baseball pitcher Montgomery Brewster (Richard Pryor, Car Wash) gets the surprise of his life when he learns a rich, distant relative has died and left him his entire fortune. But there's a catch: he must spend $30 million in 30 days as a condition of receiving his real inheritance of $300 million. And to complicate matters, he can't tell anyone why he's "throwing away" all that cash ... or he will forfeit everything! With the help of his pal Spike (John Candy, Spaceballs), he sets off on a frantic spending spree the likes of which would bring any self-respecting accountant to their knees.
Based on the novel by George Barr McCutcheon, Brewster's Millions has been adapted for the stage, television, radio, and more than ten times as a film the world over. Also starring Lonette McKee (Malcolm X), Jerry Orbach (Law & Order), Pat Hingle (Batman), and Hume Cronyn (Cocoon), Brewster's Millions is a classic screwball comedy that throws plenty of curves and knocks it out of the park.
