Scream Factory Bringing 1982 Slasher ‘Alone in the Dark’ to Blu-ray for the First Time

Featured on Meagan Navarro’s recent list of 10 Great Slasher Films You Maybe Haven’t Seen, 1982’s Alone in the Dark is finally headed to Blu-ray, we’ve learned via Scream Factory.

The film will be making its Blu-ray debut on September 14.

Meagan wrote in the aforementioned article, “This cult slasher changes the formula a bit, as it features four psychopaths as they break out of their mental hospital during a blackout and target the family and home of their new doctor, Dr. Dan Potter. Jack Palance and Martin Landau are clearly having a ball as two members of the quirky psychopath quartet. Look for Donald Pleasence as the eccentric head of the asylum, too. Alone in the Dark mixes black humor with some solid tension and atmosphere, particularly in the second half.”

“It’s as entertaining as it is bizarre,” she added.

“Extras will be announced on a later date but we can confirm today that there will be a new HD transfer of the film,” Scream Factory teases the Collector’s Edition release today.

Jack Sholder (The Hidden) directed Alone in the Dark.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones.
