John Carpenter’s BODY BAGS & ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 Coming to Blu-ray In November!
Scream Factory continues to roll out and lay claim to King Of Jon Carpenter Blu-rays this November. They will be releasing what I can easily say will be a superior version of his cult classic Assault On Precinct 13 November 19 (this has already been released before through a different distributor). The week prior, they will be releasing the rare film Body Bags. The horror anthology that collaborates Carpenter with legend Tobe Hooper may be somewhat of a forgotten title to many. This trilogy of terror was only released on DVD in a brief stint by Artisan and quickly went out of print when they were no longer in business. Its a fun little film that features John Carpenter himself hamming it up as the host of the 3 short films. Also making appearances are Sam Raimi, Tobe Hooper, Wes Craven, Tom Arnold, David Warner and Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill. This marks the 6th and 7th John Carpenter related releases from Scream Factory. Get in your preorders and find more detailed information after the link!
