Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna are responsible for adapting two HP Lovecraft stories during the mid-'80s, Re-Animator and From Beyond. But while Re-Animator has had a number of releases, From Beyond is finally getting an HD transfer from the original negatives along with a boat load of bonus features from the good chaps at Scream! Factory. In a press release, we got the details on all the disc features and extra goodies!
This spring 2013, Scream Factory further invites horror enthusiasts and movie collectors to feast their eyes on more gory goodness and spark their senses when Don Coscarelli’s PHANTASM II Collector’s Edition unleashes on Blu-ray and DVD on March 5, 2013; and H.P. Lovecraft’s FROM BEYOND Collector’s Edition – Unrated Director’s Cut Blu-ray + DVD combo pack hits home entertainment shelves everywhere on March 26, 2013.
From the same people that made Re-Animator, comes another well-told H.P. Lovecraft adaptation!
Scream Factory has announced that they will release this 1986 flick next year. This is actually one of my favorite Sci-Fi/Horror films, so I can’t wait for it!
Here’s what Scream Factory said on their Facebook page:
From the Director of Re-Animator- will be coming out as a Collector's Edition Bluray & DVD combo next year! There will be new extras along with the older ones which were on theprior 2007 DVD release.
So expect the usual amazing artwork, spectacular transfer and loaded with bonus features!
Paranormal programming is a dynamic realm, but a pretty white one.
After the successes of industry changers like Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures, networks are looking for fresh paranormal television that explores the field in new ways. But those new ways rarely included a diverse cast of investigators. Until now.
Enter From Beyond, the new show airing Sundays at 10 p.m. EST on NBC's Latino cable network Mun2. Debuting July 31, the show follows intuitive AJ Barrera, investigative reporter Christian Vera and paranormal investigator Ramiro Ramirez.
Where few shows have explored the cultural impact of paranormal investigations beyond the anglo approach, From Beyond follows these three investigators into the Latino community in Los Angeles, Calif., to bridge the diversity gap and spread awareness about life on the other side. It also touches on spiritual topics such as seances - as shown in the embedded clip from this Sunday's episode - a subject not typically covered in paranormal reality-TV.
Barrera started his career as a medium at age 19 as a regular guest on two L.A. radio shows. His notoriety grew in celebrity circles among actors and singers after a number of well reviewed readings. He now hosts his own radio program, "Breakthroughs with AJ Barrera," leads lectures and workshops, gives personal readings, actively investigates the paranormal, is a columnist for Latina magazine and leads the team on From Beyond.
He spoke with ParanormalPopCulture.com’s Karl Pfeiffer about the new show, and life spent dealing with the afterlife (after the jump).
