Originally set for release this year, Scream Factory’s hotly anticipated Blu-ray release of Wes Craven’s The Serpent and the Rainbow was recently pushed back to January of next year, and now we’ve just gotten word that it’s been bumped again. Bummer, but it’s all for the best.
Per Scream Factory’s Facebook page, the new date for the Collector’s Edition Blu-ray release is February 23, 2016. According to the company, they want to give us fans the best release of the film they possibly can, and “a little extra time was needed to do so.” Fine by us!
Specs and extras will be announced this coming January, and you can pre-order right now through Shout! Factory. In the meantime, check out Joel Robinson’s incredible cover art below!
Synopsis:
Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream) directs this terrifying story of one man’s nightmarish journey into the blood-curdling, deadly world of voodoo.
A Harvard anthropologist (Bill Pullman; Lake Placid, Independence Day) is sent to Haiti to retrieve a strange powder that is said to have the power to bring human beings back from the dead. In his quest to find the miracle drug, the cynical scientist enters the rarely seen netherworld of walking zombies, blood rites, and ancient curses.
Based on the true-to-life experiences of Wade Davis, starring Cathy Tyson (Mona Lisa), Zakes Mokae (Dust Devil, Waterworld), Paul Winfield (The Terminator, Damnation Alley), and Michael Gough (Horror of Dracula, Batman), and filmed on location in Haiti, it’s a frightening excursion into black magic and the supernatural!
