"Scream Factory, the horror-thriller offshoot of independent film distributor Shout Factory, will release on Blu-ray Colin Theys' Dead Souls (2012), starring Bill Moseley, Jesse James, and Geraldine Hughes. The release will be available for purchase on June 25th.

On his 18th birthday, Johnny Petrie learns he was adopted when he inherits a farm in Maine, abandoned for the 18 years since his natural family died at the hands of his father, the local preacher. Eager for a new life, he leaves home to start over in his new dwelling. However, as he digs into his past, he soon uncovers the horrifying details of his father's questionable teachings. In a frightening revelation, he also learns that his return has revived decades-old forces trapped in the home and sets in motion a heart-stopping finale to a ritual that already claimed the lives of his family.

Special Features:
Audio Commentary
Bloopers
Tour Of The Set

"***THE HOWLING, NINJA III and DEAD SOULS Release Date News**

Scream Factory is proud to present a wild slate of mayhem in June that includes werewolves, haunted houses and even ninja possession!

Think of a mix between The Exorcist, Flashdance and Enter the Ninja and you'll get the idea behind the 1984 quasi-horror exploitation hit, NINJA III: THE DOMINATION. Releasing on 6/11 on a DVD & Blu-ray combo pack, this is the first time ever this crowd-pleasing exercise in the bizarre has been released on either format and in anamorphic widescreen from a new transfer. Extras are still in development to be announced at a later date.
...
Next up is Director Joe Dante's classic THE HOWLING. Known fondly for its humorous script, outstanding Rob Bottin effects and Dee Wallace (Cujo), this will release on 6/18 as a Collector's Edition on either DVD or Blu-ray. (Important to note that this will mark the first time the film has been on the Blu-ray format in the U.S.) New key art plus the iconic original theatrical poster art on the reverse side plus extras (which are still in development but you can pretty much expect that all of the extras that were on the prior MGM DVD release will be ported over).

Finally, we welcome our first (of more to come) contemporary titles to the Scream "family" with Chiller's DEAD SOULS. Arriving on DVD and Blu-ray on 6/25, this unrated 2012-production of paranormal terror is directed by Colin Theys (Steve Niles’ Remains) and stars Jesse James (The Amityville Horror, The Flyboys), Bill Moseley (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, The Devil's Rejects, House of 1,000 Corpses) and Magda Apanowicz (The Butterfly Effect). It contains seven more minutes of footage not seen in it’s recent run on Chiller TV and bonus features will include an audio Commentary, bloopers, tour of the set and TV spots."

Finally a good anamorphic print of Exterminator 2, with an audio commentary.

This is a truly awesome budget package currently up for pre-order for $7.99 at Amazon. We should all be rejoicing for this one.

Anyone familiar with Dead Souls? Any good? Other than one review from twistedcentral.com and 3 IMDB user reviews I can't seem to find much about this film online. I don't really expect this to be a hidden gem or anything, but it's somewhat strange just how little information seems to be available about the film.

Day one purchase.

[Egg_Shen]

Great features. I'm looking forward to the new commentary and all of the interviews. I'm especially pleased to see that they got Jack Sholder's participation. I guess the old Savini interview won't be here, but we get a new one. Of course getting the film on blu-ray is the real treat.
