She’s like a big boob… and her head is the nipple.”

Making its Blu-ray debut as a deluxe Collector’s Edition release on August 1st, 2017 from Scream Factory, James Gunn’s Slither is one of my personal favorite horror-comedies of all time. It was an early peek at Gunn’s creative genius, which was later fully unleashed in his Guardians of the Galaxy films.

The release will be loaded with special features new and old, and we’ve got a sneak peek clip from one of the new features for ya today. In it, Gunn talks about the creation and design of the Brenda blob, one of the film’s most memorable images!

Slither is “the deliciously demented story of an unnamed evil wreaking havoc on a small town. Intent on devouring all life on Earth, this dark and slimy entity is infecting anyone in its path. Now it’s up to the local sheriff, Bill Pardy, and his team to stop the spread of rampant devastation – and shocking mutilation – before it’s too late.”

Bonus Features include:

  • NEW Audio Commentary with writer/director James Gunn and actors Nathan Fillion and Michael Rooker
  • NEW The Genesis of SLITHER – an interview with writer/director James Gunn
  • NEW The Other MacReady – an interview with actor Gregg Henry
