Published

on

Scream Factory has revealed the special features that will be accompanying their two upcoming releases Black Christmas and Dreamscapes, both of which will be getting 2K restorations. Each film is going to be packed with new features, including interviews, featurettes, and more. Both titles will be released on December 13th, which makes them perfect stocking stuffers!

Black Christmas was directed by Bob Clark and starred Margot Kidder (Superman), Olivia Hussey (Romeo & Juliet), John Saxon (A Nightmare on Elm Street) and Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey).

A series of obscene phone calls start to plague the residents of the sorority and it becomes clear that a psychopath is homing in on the sisters with dubious intentions. And though the police try to trace the calls, they discover that nothing is as it seems during this Black Christmas.

Dreamscapes was directed by Joseph Ruben and starred Dennis Quaid, Max von Sydow, Christopher Plummer, Kate Capshaw, Eddie Albert, David Patrick Kelly, and George Wendt.

Alex Gardner is a man with an incredible psychic gift… but for years has used it solely for personal gain. Reuniting with his old mentor, Dr. Novotny, Gardner joins a government project in which he learns to channel his abilities in order to enter peoples’ subconscious through their dreams. As his powers grow, the young psychic soon finds himself in a living nightmare of conspiracy and murder… and the only way out is to go back in.
