If you love creature features and Scream Factory is one of your favorite home video labels, then oh boy, are you in for a treat this coming May because four drive-in classics are headed to Blu-ray in the form of two epic double features. Read on for the details!
On May 26, 2015, Scream Factory presents Food of the Gods and Frogs, two nature-gone-berserk shockers, on Blu-ray for the first time. The release comes complete with bonus features, including new interviews with the films’ stars Belinda Balaski and Joan Van Ark.
In Food of the Gods, set on a remote island, a mysterious substance is oozing from the ground. A farmer sees that it acts as a growth hormone and thinks his fortune is made. But when rats, chickens, worms, and wasps begin sampling the potent substance, they morph into bloodthirsty giants! Now, it’s up to the island’s few residents and visitors to destroy “the food of the gods”… before the animals take over for good!
Ray Milland stars in Frogs as an aging, physically disabled millionaire who invites his family to his island estate for his birthday party. The old man is more than crotchety… he’s crazy! Hating nature, Crockett poisons anything that crawls on his property. But on the night of his shindig, it’s nature’s payback time, as thousands of frogs whip up every bug and slimy thing into a toxic frenzy until the entire environment goes environ-mental. Sam Elliott (The Legacy, Road House) and Joan Van Ark (The Last Dinosaur) also star.

Another double feature of creepy crawlies comes to Blu-ray with Scream Factory’s release of Empire of the Ants and Jaws of Satan on May 26, 2015. These terrifying creature features come complete with extras, including new audio commentary with Empire of the Ants director Bert I. Gordon.
Starring Joan Collins (“Dynasty,” “Tales from the Crypt“), Empire of the Ants is swarming with flesh-crawling chills, hair-raising thrills, and spine-tingling terror. Directed by the great Bert I. Gordon (Attack of the Puppet People, The Amazing Colossal Man, Village of the Giants), the film is a towering H.G. Wells tale come to terrifying life!
Satan takes the form of a cobra in Jaws of Satan. Commanded by the Prince of Darkness, snakes terrorize a small town in Alabama just as the town’s new dog racing park is about to open. The local doctor, the town priest, and a “snake expert” must band together to save the town from his evil scheme! Fritz Weaver (Creepshow), Gretchen Corbett (Let’s Scare Jessica to Death), Jon Korkes (Syngenor), and a young Christina Applegate (“Married With Children,” Anchorman) star!
