Studio 666: Foo Fighters horror comedy is coming to Blu-ray and DVD this month

I had a really good time watching the horror comedy Studio 666 a couple months ago – you can read my 8/10 review at THIS LINK. I’m still a physical media collector, and this movie is definitely one that I would add to my collection. So I’m glad to see that Studio 666 is coming to Blu-ray and DVD on May 24th, and Amazon is accepting pre-orders HERE.

Starring Foo Fighters band members Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, Rami Jaffee, and Taylor Hawkins as themselves, Studio 666 will show us what happens when

the legendary rock band rents an Encino mansion steeped in grisly rock and roll history, to record their 10th album. Trouble is, frontman Grohl is creatively blocked, and when evil forces in the house sink into his consciousness, the creative juices begin flowing but so does the blood. Can Foo Fighters’ complete the album, with the band still alive to tour?

Whitney Cummings (Whitney), Leslie Grossman (American Horror Story), Will Forte (MacGruber), Jenna Ortega (the new Scream), and Jeff Garlin (formerly of The Goldbergs) are also in the cast. Sadly, Taylor Hawkins passed away soon after the film’s theatrical release.

Studio 666 was directed by Hatchet III‘s BJ McDonnell from a screenplay by Jeff Buhler and Rebecca Hughes, based on a story that was crafted by Grohl. Grohl told Deadline,

After decades of ridiculous music videos and numerous music documentaries under our collective belts, it was finally time to take it to the next level… A full length feature horror comedy film. Like most things Foo, STUDIO 666 began with a far fetched idea that blossomed into something bigger than we ever imagined possible. Filmed at the same house where we recorded our latest album Medicine at Midnight — told you that place was haunted! — we wanted to recapture the classic magic that all of our favorite rock and roll movies had, but with a twist: hilarious gore that f*cking rocks. And now, with the help of Tom Ortenberg and the team at Open Road Films we can finally let this cat out of the bag after keeping it our best kept secret for two years. Be ready to laugh, scream, and headbang in your popcorn. STUDIO 666 will f*ck you up.”

Studio 666 comes to physical media with a digital copy and a gag reel as bonus features. Will you be picking up a copy? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
