For those of you that might not know, this is what the film is about:

Something evil is happening in the sleepy fishing village of Noyo. Fish-like humanoid creatures, spawned by mutant DNA, begin rising from the ocean looking to spawn with the local women. Scientist Susan Drake (Ann Turkel), along with local fisherman Jim Hill (Doug McClure), looks for the cause of this invasion of creatures from the ocean floor. When the annual Salmon Festival begins, some unwanted guests are about to crash the festivities.

HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP was directed by Barbara Peeters with some uncredited help by Jimmy T. Murakami. Martin B. Cohen produced and Roger Corman was the executive producer. Frederick James wrote the script based on a story by Frank Arnold and Cohen. The movie featured Doug McClure, Ann Turkel, Vic Morrow, and Lynn Schiller. James Horner provided the music, Mark Goldblatt edited, and Daniel Lacambre was the cinematographer. New World Pictures released the film back on May 16, 1980. Scream Factory will be releasing it on Steelbook Blu-ray on July 30.
