Awesome news! I hope they keep the final cover art pretty close.

Bad Sandwich · 07-21-2014, 08:31 PM

Nice, I've been hoping this one would get a BD release as it's clear from my cruddy vhs rip that there's a highly atmospheric and visually engaging flick in there somewhere.

Ill_Be_Back · 07-21-2014, 08:33 PM

Great news that makes the third Santa claus killer film this year to make it to Blu-ray.

cropsy · 07-21-2014, 08:34 PM

Definitley get this. Nice that its got an interview with Jenifer Runyun, always liked her at the beginning of Ghostbusters, wonder what she looks like now.

HorrorBlu · 07-21-2014, 08:34 PM

Surprisingly, much more excited for this than Scream Factory's Halloween Extras announcement.

Love that cover!

Wait. David Hess directed a film? Whoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoa

Giallo · 07-21-2014, 08:57 PM

After all the speculation, it's finally official. Good news. And yes, Jennifer Runyon is holding up nicely.

Yes they are.

Terrific news! Never thought this ultra rare gem would see the light of day on blu ray. Kudos to Scorpion & Kino Lorber films!

What is it with actresses who appear in horror movies? 90% of them are still hot decades later

thanks for postin the photo.

redrunner97 · 07-22-2014, 01:02 PM

Maybe she sold her soul to the devil? Or David Hess?

I think this final girl definitely did

redrunner97 · 07-22-2014, 01:14 PM

No wonder Jason was chasing her!!

I was thinking and I really hope Scream Factory aquired New Year's Evil for a Holiday release.
Just think, we could seriously have almost every major 80s Xmas/NY slasher on blu-ray before the end of the year! (Including Terror Train as a New Year's Slasher).

Silent Night, Deadly Night (Anchor Bay)
Christmas Evil (Vinegar Syndrome)
To All A Goodnight (Kino)

Now all we need is New Year's Evil from Scream Factory, and Don't Open Till Christmas from Mondo Macabro!

This one has always been a hard one to review, because the previous transfer by Media has been so incredibly dark. It's difficult to see what's going on in a lot of scenes.

The mask that the killer wears, though, is genuinely creepy.

Well that won't be a problem now, the new transfer looks awesome. Saw it on-demand last year.

FarewelltotheFlesh · 08-04-2014, 04:14 PM

Cannot wait for this!

This year has been VERY good for horror fans!

madus236 · 08-08-2014, 04:08 AM

Can't wait for this release. Been stuck for years with the Media VHS tape where you can barely make out what's going on, especially during the night scenes. That seems to be a trend for Media...

Blu-Ray is a godsend for these old 80's slashers

With this one down all I'm wishing for are Eyes of Laura Mars, Delusion, and The Deadly Intruder, though I doubt the latter two will make it.

dsman71 · 08-08-2014, 05:22 AM

Id be looking really forward to it - if I had heard of it or watched it before

Ive seen positive and negative comments about this one which for me means *see it for yourself*
