New Specialty Label DARK SKY SELECTS Comes Out Swinging With Hatchet: The Complete Collection
Here at Macabre Daily, we love our boutique physical media labels. From Arrow to Severin, to Scream Factory, we can’t wait for the latest special editions of some of our favorite films. We just about lost our minds when Dark Sky Films announced their new specialty label, Dark Sky Selects!
If that’s not exciting enough, their first release is Hatchet: The Complete Collection Limited Edition Steelbook! For those keeping score, it’s the first time all 4 of Adam Green’s films are together in one package containing 5 discs and 2 new hours of exclusive bonus features. It releases in June, but you can pre-order it now.
From the press release:
Chicago (May 16, 2024) – Dark Sky Films today announced the launch of their newly created, DARK SKY SELECTS, a new specialty label bringing some of our best films to the collector's market with limited edition packaging, restored transfers, and new special features. These new limited editions will offer die-hard fans and collectors new upgrades of many of their longtime favorite Dark Sky Films, produced for the purpose of making the definitive edition of these classics and modern favorites.
With nearly 50 years of commitment to great genre cinema on home video, MPI Home Video has a long tradition of bringing such greats as Tobe Hooper's THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, John McNaughton's HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER, the FACES OF DEATH series and the gothic TV classic DARK SHADOWS to home video. In 2005 we created Dark Sky Films to bring new and classic genre films to DVD and expanded into original productions in 2008 with such modern classics as Ti West's THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL and THE INNKEEPERS, Jim Mickle's STAKE LAND and Ted Geoghegan's WE ARE STILL HERE, among many more. Now, we're taking those decades of excellence in genre film and putting it behind Dark Sky Selects, our new specialty label bringing some of our best films to the collector's market with limited edition packaging, restored transfers and new special features.
Physical media, like Victor Crowley himself, can’t seem to die, and we’re here for it. There has to be a 50th anniversary edition of “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” right around the corner…
