Pinhead fans rejoice.
ANCHOR BAY knows how to release special editions of films and come April 21st they will give HELLRAISER the treatment. Here's the official press release for THE BAY and check out the cool ass packaging at the bottom of the article:
Anchor Bay Entertainment, the undisputed leader in cult
and classic horror home entertainment, celebrates 20 years (and counting) of Hellraiser with the all-new Hellraiser LE Box Set, coming to
DVD on
April 21, 2009. Pre-book is
March 19, 2009, and
SRP is $59.97.
This collectible boxed set is contained in commemorative
packaging that resembles the Lament Configuration, the infamous box from which
the horrors of Hellraiser emerge, and contains both
20th-anniversary
DVD special
editions of Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II, as well as the
brand-new Blu-ray version of the original Hellraiser, boasting a specially
reflective foil slipsheet. In addition, the Blu-ray version of Hellraiser will also be made available
as a stand-alone title (pre-book March 19;
SRP $29.97).
The horrors of Hellraiser are back – looking and
sounder better than ever, and each one featuring a savage selection of special
features including audio commentaries with cast and crew, retrospective
interviews and vintage featurettes, trailers and teasers, and a shocking
assortment of other enticements for the Hellraiser faithful. When Doug Bradley’s
Pinhead said: “We have such things to show you” – he wasn’t kidding, and neither
is
Anchor
Bay!
From the limitless imagination of Clive Barker came an
enduring vision of the horrors of Hell. Hellraiser set a shocking new
standard for cinematic horror that few others have dared approach, much less
equaled. In the annals of horror, few franchises have enjoyed the sustained
success and the fervent fan base of the Hellraisers. To date, there have been
eight feature films – with a remake scheduled for release later this
year.
And what better, bloodier way to commemorate two decades
of demonic dementia than with the all-new Hellraiser LE Box
Set?
Here's that packaging I was telling you about. Thanks to STYD for the pic:
