Scream Factory to Release “Candyman” [Deluxe Limited Edition]
We reported last week that Arrow Video was releasing the original Candyman on bluray with a brand new 4K restoration transfer, but it now looks like Shout Factory’s horror and sci-fiction label Scream Factory will be releasing their own deluxe limited edition in the US. Strangely, it’s only going to be a 2K transfer scanned from the new 4K restoration that was supervized by director Bernard Rose. Also, most of the extras are the same as the Arrow edition, but Scream does have some new extras of their own that will make this edition worth owning. The release date is November 20, 2018 with a price tag of $34.93. Make sure to grab your copy today while it’s still available because I’m sure it will go fast. I’m also digging Scream Factory’s two different slipcovers over the Arrow Video cover.
I’ve attached all the features that have been announced and a pre-order link below:
