Bonus features have been revealed for the 1978 horror flick getting a collector's edition Blu-ray in August.
As previously reported, Scream Factory will be releasing 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers: Collector's Edition' on Blu-ray on August 2.
Under cover of darkness, while an unsuspecting city sleeps, an alien life form begins to sow the seeds of unspeakable terror. Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, Veronica Cartwright and Jeff Goldblum star in this shocking, "first-rate suspense thriller" (Newsday).
