Retromedia put out a 40th Anniversary DVD of Octaman just a few short years ago. Now Kino Lorber Studio Classic is bringing this schlocky 1971 creature feature into the digital age with fully loaded DVD and Blu-ray releases next year.
From Harry Essex, writer of the all-time-classic The Creature from the Black Lagoon, comes this not-so-classic about scientists in Mexico researching radioactive contamination in waterways that incur the wrath of a monstrous half-man/half-octopus creature.
Pier Angeli, Kerwin Matthews, Jeff Morrow, and Buck Kartalian star in this monster movie that is really most notable for being one of the first films on the illustrious resume of Hollywood make-up effects icon Rick Baker, who designed the titular tentacle terror.
Kino Lorber Studio Classics (in conjunction with MGM) has announced plans to release Octaman on DVD and Blu-ray this coming April. As has become the case with this increasingly niche collector’s market, they’re promising the disc will be loaded with extras, even hinting at a possible interview with Baker himself about his work on the project.
Full disc specs and release date to be announced.
