Scream Factory’s Serpent and the Rainbow Blu-ray Set for February; Full Details
Originally set for release last August, Scream Factory’s Blu-ray release of The Serpent and the Rainbow was delayed due to the unfortunate passing of Wes Craven, and then delayed again when the HD transfer wasn’t up to the company’s standards. But the wait, friends, is almost over.
It’s coming in February, and we’ve got full details today!
