***NEW OFFICIAL TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT***

Finally! FINALLY! The much-requested-for Wes Craven horror/sci-fi favorite DEADLY FRIEND short circuits onto Blu-ray for the first time in time for Halloween!

Here are the early details we have at current time to share:

• National street date for North America (Region A) is Oct 12th.

• This will be presented as a Collector’s Edition and will come guaranteed with a slipcover in its first three months of release.

The newly commissioned artwork pictured comes to us from artist Colin Murdoch. This art will be front-facing, and the reverse side of the wrap will feature the original theatrical artwork.

• Extras will be announced on a later date, but we can confirm today that there will be a new HD transfer of the film (same runtime & content as the prior “Twisted Terror” DVD) and interview with actress Kristy Swanson!

[Show spoiler] Scream Factory will be releasing the long-requested title Deadly Friend (1986) as a Collector's Edition. Will update when I get more info.

A lonely teenage genius has two best friends: his remarkable robot and a beautiful girl next door. When tragedy strikes them both, he desperately tries to save them by pushing technology beyond its mortal limits into a terrifying new realm. Like a modern-day Dr. Frankenstein, Paul discovers too late that he has created a rampaging monster.
