The wait is finally over -- coming this May, Massacre Video give Jag Mundhra's HACK-O-LANTERN (aka Halloween Night, 1988) its highly anticipated Blu debut! In a small California town, Grandpa is running a secret satanic cult, and now that grandson Tommy has reached adulthood, he's brought into the fold as part of a plan to raise their dark lord. However, as All Hallow's Eve approaches, a demon-masked murderer is on the prowl, butchering anyone who seemingly has a connection to Tommy. Who's the killer, and what's their true motivation?

Late-'80s slasher bliss created at the height of Satanic Panic, HACK-O-LANTERN is a total hoot from beginning to end -- this is easily an essential purchase for slice-and-dice fans with a taste for the more bizarro reaches of the genre, and one you'll definitely want to program at your next Halloween party. Full of rock bands, dream scenes, impromptu stripping, terrible stand-up, amazing non sequiturs and a general air of weirdness, you can try to describe the film, but actually watching it is an altogether different beast.

Massacre Video are pulling out all the stops for their Limited Edition Blu-Ray / DVD Combo (with side-loading slipcover), celebrating the film's 30th Anniversary with a new 2K restoration from the original camera negative and plenty of worthwhile supplements. Producer Raj Mehrotra shows up for a fresh commentary track, there's a documentary featurette with stars Gregory Scott Cummins and Katina Garner, some never-before-seen bloopers and outtakes, vintage public access interviews with the cast and director Mundhra, and even more surprises. A Region Free release, street date is May 9th -- watch this space for pre-order links. "But mom, I like the taste of blood!"

How limited are we talking?

Anybody know the turn around time for purchases from MV.com? I literally just purchased 3 BD's... Thank you.

I'm going to wait for reviews before I snag a copy. I've been burned too many times to keep blindly buying these direct sale, indie label, 1st blu releases with big promises.

This is Massacre's fifth Blu. Also, it's a wide release.

I should have clarified as that is true, however, their previous blu's were films made in 2013, 2015, 2015 and 2016, and most likely didn't really require any "work" to be done for their releases.

The scan was done by OCN Digital -- also responsible for BLOOD RAGE, THE MUTILATOR, Vinegar Syndrome's titles, etc.

Does anyone have any information regarding this question posed a few days ago?

Haha, it's certainly your right to do so. I was just putting the additional info out there -- I haven't seen the disc yet myself so I can't really vouch for it one way or the other!

Is this blu-ray any different from the one being sold on MV?

I don't think so (unless you are ordering the limited bundle pack directly from Massacre with a limited edition side-loading slip cover, vhs copy and poster).

However, as of right now the regular blu ray is only $29.99 right now at Masscare's site and Amazon is selling it for $34.95.

[redrunner97]

I'm pretty sure even non-bundle copies will have the slipcase, so yeah, the Amazon version should be the same as the one on sale at MV's site.

Correct.

I got around to watching my City in Panic DVD. Please with the release and glad to finally see this uncut in probably the best shape it can be in. Reversible cover art was pretty awesome too.
