Words cannot describe how excited I personally am about the following tidbit of news! The truly frightening 1954 classic giant ant flick THEM! is coming home to Blu-ray, and even though details are scarce, the news alone is like getting a ticket to horror movie heaven!

Gordon Douglas directs and James Whitmore, Edmund Gwenn, Joan Weldon, and a shit ton of giant insects star. Look for more details as they come.

Synopsis:
That ol’ cinematic devil the A-bomb has spawned a colony of giant murderous ants bent on destroying humanity in this, the seminal big bug movie (an obvious and oft-credited influence for Alien among countless others). The special effects may be dated, but this brilliantly rational-sounding film has held up wonderfully in all other regards, including some starkly effective location work in the high Arizona desert, a genuinely inspired sound design guaranteed to bring on the creepy-crawlies, and an unexpectedly dry sense of humor (mainly personified by Grade-A egghead scientist Edmund Gwenn). This is essential viewing for all those who consider themselves science fiction or horror fans. Heroic hardcase James Arness previously played for the other team as the titular character in The Thing from Another World.
