Scream Factory Overload; Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror and The Doctor and the Devils on Blu-ray Plus Summer of Fear Special Events!A whole bunch of Scream Factory goodness was dropped into our inbox this morning, so let’s forgo the usual chit-chat and cut right to the chase!

First up, the world’s greatest distribution company announced on their Facebook page that they’re bringing three titles to Blu-ray for the very first time this coming fall, kicking off with a double feature release of 1972’s Tales from the Crypt and 1973’s The Vault of Horror.

The two classic British anthology films will be housed together as a double feature on Blu-ray (both for the first time) and Vault will be presented in its uncut form.

Also announced was the 1985 grave robber thriller The Doctor and the Devils, which was produced by Mel Brooks and stars Timothy Dalton, Patrick Stewart, Stephen Rea, Jonathan Pryce…and even Twiggy!

No dates have been set in stone, but both discs will arrive sometime in the fall.

In the meantime, Scream Factory has a whole lot of fun planned for the summer, to tie in with their highly impressive and incredibly exciting Summer of Fear release slate. Read on for all the details about that, including special screenings and sales worth screaming about!
