Scream Factory is Happy to Say ‘Jack’s Back’ on Blu-ray
As we wrap up 2015, which has been a huge year for Scream Factory, the company continues to show no signs of slowing down announcing yet another title to hit shelves in early 2016.
On January 16, 2016, Scream Factory presents a tale of Jack the Ripper with Jack’s Back on Blu-ray + DVD combo pack, for the first time on either format. The taut mystery-thriller stars James Spader (The Blacklist, The Avengers: Age of Ultron) in one of his most thrilling early roles, alongside Cynthia Gibb (Death Warrant, Youngblood), with direction by Rowdy Herrington (Road House). Jack’s Back comes complete with new bonus features including interviews with Rowdy Herrington, Cynthia Gibb, producer Tim Moore and director of photography Shelly Johnson.
One hundred years ago, Jack the Ripper slashed his way through London’s red light district. Now, a modern-day maniac is honoring the event by mutilating L.A.’s ladies of the evening. Has Jack the Ripper been reborn? The police are stumped and the prostitutes of L.A. are scared. The only person with a chance of solving the murders has a problem of his own – he’s the LAPD’s number one suspect.
Special Features:
- NEW High Definition transfer from the original negative
- NEW audio commentary with writer/director Rowdy Herrington
- NEW The Making of Jack’s Back – interviews with writer/director Rowdy Herrington, producer Tim Moore, actress Cynthia Gibb and director of photography Shelly Johnson
- Theatrical Trailer

‘Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story’ Slashes into VHS from Lunchmeat!
The SCREAMBOX Original documentary Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story is now streaming on SCREAMBOX, and it’s next coming to VHS!
A limited edition of only 50 copies worldwide, the VHS copies of the Englund documentary will go up for grabs on Saturday, April 27 at 12pm EST on Lunchmeat’s official website.
Josh Schafer of Lunchmeat explains, “With so many of Englund’s works being seen and familiarized on videotape, it only felt right to offer fans and collectors the opportunity to experience this fantastic doc on VHS. We all know the Freddy movies just feel different on videocassette, and we wanted to bring that feel to this film for those who want it.”
“Since first donning a tattered fedora and a glove of eviscerating blades in 1984, Robert Englund has become a beloved horror icon. His portrayal of Freddy Krueger is without doubt a moment as visceral to the horror genre as Chaney’s werewolf or Karloff’s groundbreaking realization of Frankenstein’s monster. However, few realize the depths of Englund’s true power as a character actor away from the latex mask and iconic red and green sweater.
“A classically trained actor and director, Robert Englund has become one of the most revolutionary horror icons of our generation.. This unique and intimate portrait captures the man behind the glove and features interviews with Englund and his wife Nancy, Lin Shaye, Eli Roth, Tony Todd, Heather Langenkamp, and more.
“This is the quintessential documentary on the man who didn’t just bring Freddy Krueger to horrific and historic life on-screen and beyond, but has created a fantastic career as an elite actor and entertainer.”
Selling for $30, the VHS is presented in native widescreen format & duplicated in NTSC, housed in full-color slipcase and pressed on black videocassettes with silver foil face and side labels.
The VHS release is presented in partnership with Cineverse, Bloody Disgusting, and Screambox, in association with Dead Mouse Productions and Cult Screenings U.K.
