German label OFDb Filmworks will be releasing Dan O’Bannon’s The Resurrected on limited collector’s edition Blu-ray on July 31, 2015 and it will be loaded with special features. Based on the work of H.P. Lovecraft, The Resurrected stars Chris Sarandon, John Terry and Jane Sibbett.

Synopsis:

“Charles Dexter Ward’s wife enlists the help of a private detective to find out what her husband is up to in a remote cabin owned by his family for centuries. The husband is a chemical engineer, and the smells from his experiments (and the delivery of what appear to be human remains at all hours) are beginning to arouse the attention of neighbors and local law enforcement officials. When the detective and wife find a diary of the husband’s ancestor from 1771, and reports of gruesome murders in the area begin to surface, they begin to suspect that some very unnatural experiments are being conducted in the old house.”

For the franchise completists, myself very much included, Candyman: Day of the Dead is being added to Lionsgate’s Vestron Video Collector’s Series, bringing it to Blu-ray for the first time.

The third installment in the franchise, Day of the Dead went direct-to-video back in 1999, and Dawn of the Discs reports that it will be making its way to Blu-ray on January 18, 2022.

Tony Todd returned for Turi Meyer‘s Candyman: Day of the Dead, starring alongside Donna D’Errico. “The Candyman is back, trying to convince his descendent, an artist, to join him.”

As Bloody Disgusting’s Jason Jenkins wrote back in 2019, “Failing to capture the atmosphere or class of the series’ preceding entries, Candyman: Day of the Dead cheapens a previously respectable franchise with its overriding concerns with cheap gore and T&A. This film was a disappointment the first time around nearly two decades ago, and it’s aged into an even more unwatchable mess in the years since its initial release.”
