The Mothman Flutters its Way to DVD for Lionsgate

There’s no doubt about it. The legend of the Mothman is a truly frightening one. So frightening in fact that his monstrous presence has graced several movies, the latest of which is heading to home video in October.

Audiences will have a new reason to fear the dark this Halloween, as Lionsgate releases Mothman (review here) on DVD this October. A Syfy Original Movie Event, the film debuted to more than two million viewers in April 2010. Starring sci-fi fan favorite Jewel Staite (TV’s “Stargate Atlantis”) as an aspiring journalist who must return to her hometown – and the scene of her teenage crimes – to cover a story. Mothman will be available on October 25th.

Desperate to put the horrific events of her past behind her, Katherine (Staite) relocates to Washington, DC after high school to become a journalist. Ten years later, she is summoned back to her hometown to cover the annual Mothman Festival. There she must face her estranged friends, and the life-altering drowning they covered up as high school seniors. The group begins to experience terrifying visions, and soon figure out that the Mothman isn’t a mere fairy tale… and it wants its revenge for their crime.

More soon!
