Writer/director Eric Red’s werewolf film BAD MOON has never gotten a proper special edition release, a fact which Arrow in the Head founder John “The Arrow” Fallon thought was such a shame that he even recorded a downloadable audio commentary with Red and the film’s star Michael Paré a few years back.
As the twentieth anniversary of BAD MOON’s November 1, 1996 release swiftly approaches, Scream Factory is working on rectifying the lack of love the film has received on home video, as they have announced that they will be bringing BAD MOON to Blu-ray on July 19th.
BAD MOON’s synopsis:
Full, crescent, quarter… each is a Bad Moon for Ted Harrison. By day, he’s a photojournalist visiting family in the Pacific Northwest. By night, he transfigures into a horrific half-human – a werewolf. Dead men tell no tales, so Ted’s sure he alone knows about his vile double life. The secret, however, may be out. The family dog Thor, devoted to defending the household, has his suspicions.
Writer/director Eric Red (Cohen and Tate, Body Parts) delivers a new infusion of thrills with this red blooded shocker. Michael Paré (Streets of Fire) portrays Ted, hiding his accursed condition from his sister (Mariel Hemmingway, Lipstick, Star 80) and nephew (Mason Gamble). What better way to hide it than to create suspicion that the local killings are the work of another – especially if that other is the family’s all-too-wise German shepherd!
The Blu-ray’s special features are still in progress and are expected to be announced in the early summer. If you don’t need that information before you secure a copy, the Blu-ray can already be pre-ordered on the Scream Factory site.
