One of the most infamous horror sequels in history Exorcist II: The Heretic will be hitting Blu-ray via Scream Factory this Fall. This will be branded as a 2-Disc “Collector’s Edition” that will come with a slipcover guaranteed for three months after its original release date.
Extras and specs are still in progress and will be announced later in August. However, Scream Factory did confirm that we will have a new high-definition transfer of two cuts of the film. The 117 min version that has been on Blu-ray and DVD before and a shorter, alternate version that was created after the film’s initial release in 1977.
You’ll also be happy to know that the disc contains a brand-new interview with Regan herself, actress Linda Blair.
The newly-commissioned artwork pictured comes to us from the CRP Group (Serial Mom, Drag me to Hell, Dead Ringers) and will be front-facing and the reverse side of the wrap will the original theatrical poster design.
The national street date is planned for September 25th. However, if you pre-order now for early shipping directly from Scream Factory.com you will also receive an 18′ x 24″ rolled poster of the newly-commissioned art.
Synopsis:
Bizarre nightmares plague Regan MacNeil (Blair) four years after her possession and exorcism. Has the demon returned? And if so, can the combined faith and knowledge of a Vatican investigator (Richard Burton) and a research specialist (Fletcher) free her from its grasp? Employing production design and special effects that are dizzily exhilarating and a supporting cast (Max von Sydow, Paul Henreid, James Earl Jones) of compelling distinction, director John Boorman draws us into the tangible experience of evil. We fly with the demon, feel the African landscape vibrate and get engulfed in the terror of swarming locusts as Exorcist II: The Heretic weaves its fascinating, frightful spell.
