**OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION: HELL NIGHT is coming!**

Today we can (finally) provide some more concrete updates on our plans for the 1981 horror favorite HELL NIGHT. Here’s what we can divulge at this time:

- The Blu-ray & DVD combo will be branded as a "Collector's Edition" that will come with a slipcover (guaranteed for three months after its original release date)

- The Producer-approved newly-commissioned artwork pictured comes to us from artist Justin Osbourn (Lifeforce, Pumpkinhead, Prince of Darkness). This art will be front-facing and the reverse side of the wrap will showcase the original theatrical poster art design.

- Extras are still in progress and will be announced sometime in October.

- National U.S. & Canada Release date is set for 12/12/17. If you pre-order now directly from our website @ https://www.shoutfactory.com/…/hell-...ector-s-editi… it will ship two weeks early plus you’ll receive a FREE exclusive and collectible 18” x 24” rolled poster of the newly-designed key art. Posters will be made at a limited quantity so secure them now!

- As some of you already know, this title was leaked on several retailer sites prematurely before we could make a proper announce. The reason we couldn’t address it more publicly once that became more widespread is because we were having some technical difficulties. The title was originally planned for a Late Summer release but needed to be delayed because we became faced with an unforeseen and unwelcome scenario that we could not locate any of the original film elements despite trying many avenues to acquire them. Fortunately though we were able to access a good archival print and it is from this element that we will be doing a 4K scan of the film (including hours of intensive restoration work) so that we can get it to look the best it possibly can.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We genuinely share your excitement on this particular film (it’s been highly-requested for years) and can’t wait for the final product!

Didn't see any thread about this, but since you see this as some sort of competition, here's your cookie.

I posted it in the Scream Factory thread. I didn't want to spoil the surprise for out of courtesy to others.

Excellent!

This will be a blind-buy for me. I'm intrigued.

Can't wrap my head around this. First The Slayer, now Hell Night. My year is already made. I'm sure Scream Factory would've wanted this to be a Comic Con reveal but...why wait?

As an October title this would have been revealed in a couple of weeks. The reveals at SDCC are for November onwards titles.

I have never seen this but am unbelievably excited to blind buy it (if this is true)!

OK, but what I meant was they probably would've preferred a big splashy official announcement by them as opposed to a premature Deep Discount/Barnes & Noble leak. I won't consider this an official announcement until I see one of Screams "**NEW TITLE ANNOUNCEMENTS!!** posts anyway

[slasherdisc]

BIG news! This one was long awaited for awhile. Kudos to SF!!

[Braktastic]

Nice!

[mca213]

Wow anouncement of the year

[jthefrank]

Safe to say we're gonna see something from Jeff soon now that it is leaked

Oh yeah for sure, they'll no doubt be pretty annoyed about this. A couple of years ago 3 of their October titles leaked via those SDCC badges, but I guess that was Shout's fault. I know they weren't too happy last year when some sleuthing unearthed a couple of big releases (namely Carrie and Dead Ringers). Seems to be proving difficult to keep some of these end of year big titles under wraps for various reasons.

Clive Barker leaked Lord of Illusions on Facebook too

I used to watch this on HBO back in the early 1980s and it scared the crap out of me! I watched it again a couple of years ago and it is still a fun horror flick with great atmosphere.
