More 90s horror from Scream Factory. Here’s another more recent cult classic, the Patricia Arquette-starring Stigmata. I remember this one being pretty popular amongst us “alternative” kids back in the day for some reason. While I never owned it, I do remember renting it a few times VHS. 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. So, scroll on down to find out more on Stigmata‘s Blu-ray debut. Enjoy! Continue reading ‘STIGMATA Starring Academy Award Winner Patricia Arquette Debuts On Blu-ray May 19th!’
