'Children of the Corn' to Stalk Blu-ray this July
Wed Mar 25, 2009 at 01:00 PM ETTags: Disc Announcements, Anchor Bay (all tags)
Stephen King's 'Children of the Corn' are ready to slice into high-def, with Anchor Bay announcing a late-July Blu-ray bow for the '80s slasher "classic."
Produced on a shoestring in 1984, the minor box office hit defied critical carvings to go on to spawn over a half-dozen direct-to-video sequels (each one, it seemed, worse than the last).
To honor the film's 25th anniversary -- and just in time to promote a new theatrical remake -- Anchor Bay will release 'Children of the Corn' on Blu-ray July 28.
Newly remastered, tech specs will see a BD-50 dual-layer disc with 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 video (1.85:1) and English Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround audio.
Among the newly-produced extras is audio commentary with director Fritz Kiersch, producer Terrence Kirby and actors John Franklin & Courtney Gains, an "It Was The Eighties!" interview with Linda Hamilton, a trio of featurettes ("Stephen King on a Shoestring," "Welcome to Gatlin: The Sights and Sounds of Children of the Corn," "Harvesting Horror: The Making of Children of the Corn"), a trivia track, still gallery, original storyboard and title sequence art, and the theatrical trailer.
We have yet to receive a confirmed suggested retail price from Anchor Bay, but we'll keep you posted.

Anchor Bay to Configure 'Hellraiser' in Blu-ray 'Puzzle Box'

'Hellraiser' fans, Anchor Bay is planning to double your pain: the studio has announced not one but two Blu-ray configurations of the Clive Barker horror classic.
As previously announced, Anchor Bay alerted retailers to an April 21 Blu-ray street date for the seminal cult hit, but kept any further details under wraps.
Now further confirmed press details have been unleashed, with the company unveiling not one, but two Blu-ray versions of 'Hellraiser.'
The first will be a stand-alone Blu-ray release, billed as a special edition and containing extras that are expected to match the previous "20th Anniversary Edition" Anchor Bay released on DVD.
Also due for high-def on April 21 is the 'Hellraiser Puzzle Box,' a three-disc edition that includes the stand-alone Blu-ray (with identical specs), plus standard DVD versions of 'Hellraiser: 20th Anniversary Edition' and the 1987 sequel 'Hellbound: Hellraiser II.'
Though no additional Blu-ray content or other exclusives are planned for the 'Puzzle Box,' and final tech and supplements have yet to be finalized. We'll keep you posted.
Suggested list price for the stand-alone Blu-ray of 'Hellraiser' is $34.95, and $59.95 for the 'Hellraiser Puzzle Box.'
You'll find the latest specs for both 'Hellraiser' and the 'Hellraiser Puzzle Box' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where they're indexed under April 21.
