Scream Factory Makes a Date With 1988’s ‘American Gothic’

A tale of terror from the director of The Legend of Hell House.

Back in July, Scream Factory announced a handful of upcoming 2017/2018 Blu-ray titles at San Diego Comic Con, one of which was the 1988 film American Gothic.

Today we’ve learned that the film will make its Blu-ray debut on December 19.

In the film…

“When six young friends fly off on a weekend getaway and suddenly find themselves with engine trouble, they have no choice but to land on a remote Pacific island. Looking for shelter, they are grateful when they meet “Ma” and “Pa” and their children – an bizarre family still living in the backwoods as if it’s still the 1920s. But what begins as simple old-school hospitality becomes a terrifying race for survival when one by one, the friends start disappearing and dying horrible deaths. Fleeing the outside world many years ago, the family has created an island domain, where all strangers are sinners – and the killing has never stopped.”

American Gothic features an all-star cast including Rod Steiger (The Amityville Horror), Yvonne De Carlo (“The Munsters”), Michael J. Pollard (Bonnie and Clyde) and William Hootkins (Raiders of the Lost Ark) and is from Director John Hough (The Legend of Hell House, The Watcher in the Woods and The Incubus).
