We have been waiting for this for a while now. Scream Factory announces 14 new titles coming soon. I was a little miffed at the fact Arrow Video is releasing Candyman on Blu Ray in the UK only. I had a feeling, as did many that Scream Factory would not let us down. Also, Critters Box set, hell yes! I guess I will have to get the Silent Night, Deadly Night Scream Factory, so I can get the second one as well, GARBAGE DAY!
There are many other good ones here, this is from the Scream Factory Facebook:
