Scream Factory Bringing Tobe Hooper’s Invaders from Mars to Blu-ray
Though the name Tobe Hooper instantly conjures up the image of Leatherface wielding a chainsaw, the master of horror has also directed a handful of other noteworthy horror films, which Scream Factory has set its sights on bringing to Blu-ray. Up next is Invaders from Mars, and we’ve got the scoop for ya today!
Making its Blu-ray debut on April 7, 2015, Invaders from Mars comes loaded with bonus features, including an all-new audio commentary from director Tobe Hooper, a new retrospective, galleries for the original storyboards, and more.
The 1986 remake is a space-age creature feature crawling with horrifying hordes of Martians. David Gardner’s starry-eyed dreams turn into an out-of-this-world nightmare when invaders from the red planet land in his backyard and unleash their hostilities on unsuspecting earthlings. Paralyzed with fear as the aliens take over the minds of his mother, father, and even his classmates, David must find a way to stop them – before they turn the whole human race into brain-dead zombies.
Showcasing special effects from John Dykstra (Star Wars) and the creations of Stan Winston (Aliens) and starring Karen Black (House of 1000 Corpses), Hunter Carson (Paris, Texas), Timothy Bottoms (Rollercoaster), Louise Fletcher (Flowers in the Attic), James Karen (The Return of the Living Dead), and Bud Cort (Harold and Maude), this thrilling remake is a must-own for horror fans.
