More 90s horror from Scream Factory. Here’s another more recent cult classic, the Patricia Arquette-starring Stigmata.

It’ll be interesting to revisit the film as I was always sort of indifferent on it and I’m currently having trouble recalling much. Anyway, who better to house it than Scream Factory. Today, they provide us with the details of their release. There isn’t one currently from Amazon, but I’m sure a pre-order link will be up soon.
