Scream Factory has announced that it will bring to Blu-ray William Fruet's Killer Party (1986) and Wes Craven's Deadly Friend (1986). The two releases will be available for purchase later this year.
Killer Party,br>
Description: It's April Fool's Day and the sisters of Sigma Alpha Pi believe they've found the perfect place to throw a party: the abandoned fraternity house where a guillotined pledge once lost his head in a hazing gone awry. But shortly after their revelry begins, the student body count starts to rise as the vengeful pledge returns from the grave and makes it a party to die for.
Featuring appearances by Paul Bartel (Death Race 2000, Chopping Mall) and Martin Hewitt (Endless Love, Alien Predators) and the debut of Joanna Johnson (who would graduate a year later to her longtime best-known role on The Bold And The Beautiful), Killer Party was written by Barney Cohen (Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter) and directed by William Fruet (The House By The Lake, Spasms, Funeral Home).
STREET DATE: OCTOBER 26.
Deadly Friend Collector's Edition
Description: From director Wes Craven (A Nightmare On Elm Street, Scream) comes a terrifying tale of technology gone haywire! Lonely teenage genius Paul (Matthew Labyorteaux, Barbarians At The Gate), a specialist in brain research, has two best friends: his remarkable robot ... and the beautiful girl next door (Kristy Swanson, Buffy The Vampire Slayer). When tragedy strikes both of his friends, he desperately tries to save them by pushing technology beyond its mortal limits into a terrifying new realm. Like a modern-day Dr. Frankenstein, Paul discovers too late that he has created a rampaging monster! "Deadly Friend is a witty ghoul story ... [it] deliberately teeters on the edge of spoof" (The New York Times).
Extras will be announced on a later date, but the labels has confirmed that there will be a new HD transfer of the film (same runtime & content as the prior "Twisted Terror" DVD) and interview with actress Kristy Swanson!
STREET DATE: OCTOBER 12.
