Those fiends over at Anchor Bay are at
it again. Got a press release from our friends with the sail boat
announcing the fact that come this fall they will be re-issuing two
euro-horror classics. Here's the complete press release for you to
drool over:
On September 25th,
Anchor Bay Entertainment will be re-releasing Demons
and Demons 2, two Euro-horror classics directed by
Lamberto Bava, son of legendary Italian filmmaker Mario Bava (Black
Sunday, Black Sabbath) - each with brand-new anamorphic
widescreen (1.66:1) transfers.
Written by Bava and
Master of Horror Dario Argento (Jenifer, Pelts,
Suspiria), 1985s Demons set a new standard
for inventive special makeup effects and atmospheric horror cinema.
Several people are invited to the grand opening of a new movie
theatre, unspooling a particularly grisly horror film. As the events
on-screen become more and more violent, the unsuspecting movie goers
start to transform into bloodthirsty demons killing and
possessing those they attack, thus multiplying their numbers. Now
surrounded with seemingly every escape blocked, the remaining guests
begin a desperate battle for their lives.
Bava and Argento
reunited to continue the horrific story with 1986s Demons 2.
In a seemingly harmless apartment complex, tenants watch a TV
documentary about a group of teens who set out to investigate the
legendary forbidden zone where a demon infestation once took place. A
strange turn of events facilitates a demon resurrection and spells
disaster for all occupants in the building now plunged into
darkness from a blackout and a haven for the demons to replenish
their numbers
More on these titles as
the release date draws nearer.
That's not the art for the release up top there. I'll have to for you soon.
