Published

on

Following the success of last year’s Re-Animator 40th anniversary restoration, Ignite Films will release a new edition of Bride of Re-Animator on June 11.

Re-Animator producer Brian Yuzna steps into the director’s chair for the 1990 sequel, written by his Society collaborators Zeph E. Daniel and Rick Fry.

The unrated cut of film has been newly restored in 4K Ultra HD, approved by Yuzna, with HDR.

Priced at $129.95, the Ultimate Limited Edition box set comes with additional collectibles — including a finger creature that doubles as a phone holder!

Newly special features:

  • Till Death Do Us Part: Making Bride of Re-Animator — 60-minute documentary
  • Extended interviews with Director Brian Yuzna and Actors Bruce Abbott, Fabiana Udenio, Jeffrey Combs, and Kathleen Kinmont
  • 4K release trailer

Legacy special features:

  • HD restoration of the Rated version

  • Brian Yuzna Remembers Bride of Re-Animator 
  • Splatter Masters — Interviews with special effects artists Robert Kurtzman, Screaming Mad George, Tony Doublin, and John Buechler.
  • Getting Ahead of Horror — Making-of featurette
  • Meg is Re-Animated — Deleted scene with behind-the-scenes footage
  • Carnival Sequence — Cast and crew discuss excised sequence

Ultimate Limited Edition contents:

  • Finger Creature Collectible/Phone Holder
  • Hardcover Book with Introduction by Director Brian Yuzna and New Interviews with Actors Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott, Kathleen Kinmont, and Fabiana Udenio
  • 5 Collector Art Cards
  • Deluxe Digipack Housed in a Rigid Box with J-card packaging

Taking place eight months after the Miskatonic massacre, Doctors West and Cain are experimenting again. But this time, instead of reanimating corpses, they’ve decided to create new life — in the form of a beautiful companion (from spare body parts, of course) for Dr. West.

Jeffrey Combs returns to star as Herbert West alongside Bruce Abbott, Claude Earl Jones, Fabiana Udenio, David Gale, and Kathleen Kinmont.

“We went big with Bride of Re-Animator — bigger effects, bigger madness,” said Yuzna. “This 4K UHD restoration really lets all of that shine. It’s alive, and it’s never looked better!”

‘Hokum’ Heads Home to Digital Tomorrow Ahead of Physical Media Release in August

Hokum Review - Hokum Digital Release Date

After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.

Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.

Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.

Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.

Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.

Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.

I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”

What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
