Get ready to double dip, Carpenter fans.
Believe it or not, the fan favorite Scream Factory label turns five years old this year, and they’re celebrating with limited edition re-releases of three John Carpenter flicks – fitting, given how much love and attention Scream Factory has given to Carpenter’s films over the years. Escape from New York, The Fog and They Live are each getting the Steelbook treatment on August 1st!
The company announced today:
It’s hard to believe at times, but our brand is now five years old. Naturally, we wanted to celebrate this milestone with something cool that would be true to our retro roots and would make a big splash. As you already know, we’ve been very successful with our John Carpenter films so we looked to some of our older releases of his for inspiration. We then remembered the question we posed sometime years ago to you about your thoughts on Steelbook® packaging, and the response was extremely strong.
Featuring new art from Nathaniel Marsh, the Steelbook Blu-rays are each limited to 10,000 and when they’re gone, they’re gone for good. We must note that while the packaging and even disc art will be different, the Blu-rays included inside will have the same content that is currently available in their respective Collector Edition releases.
If you order direct from Scream Factory’s website, you can get the releases two weeks early. You will also get 28.5” x 16.5” rolled lithographs of the illustrations, while supplies last.
