Scream Factory will add two new titles to its Blu-ray catalog: Larry Cohen's
A Return to Salem's Lot (1987) and John McNaughton's
The Borrower (1991). The two releases will be available for purchase later this year.
A Return to Salem's Lot
Synopsis: The terrifying tale of Salem's Lot continues in the shocking and satirical A Return To Salem's Lot! Beneath the quaint, picture-perfect exterior of a small New England community lurks an unsettling, undead evil: vampires. When fresh blood comes to town in the form of amoral anthropologist Joe Weber and his son Jeremy, the vampires employ the father to document their story. But when the stakes are raised, Joe must take on the hellish horde or lose his son ... and his soul.
Directed and co-written by genre legend Larry Cohen (the It's Alive trilogy, Black Caesar, God Told Me To) and featuring Michael Moriarty (the star of Cohen's Q: The Winged Serpent), A Return To Salem's Lot is a ghoulishly clever follow-up to the hit miniseries based on master of horror Stephen King's acclaimed novel.
STREET DATE: AUGUST 24.
The Borrower
Synopsis: From the creative mind of director John McNaughton (Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer) comes an eerie tale of an alien killer sentenced to live the rest of his days on Earth for committing unspeakable crimes. The strange insect-like creature arrives in a lone spaceship. When he arrives on our planet, his head explodes. His survival depends on his ability to find a new head for his body. Thus begins a carnage of murder that even the city's toughest detectives Diana Pierce (Rae Dawn Chong, Commando) and Charles Kreiger (Don Gordon, Bullitt) are unable to solve.
STREET DATE: AUGUST 17.
