this is a great way to kick of 2015 with the long over due special edition blu ray

to him with the electronic press kit featuring rare stock footage that was filmed by
mcdowall himself whilst filming fright night plus other archive materials that will
compliment the blu ray including audio commentary from the cast and crew of
fright night as was told that it will come with a collectors magnet and fans will
be rooting for special screenings of the film just like last years 30th anniversary of
ghostbusters did and other news that howling 2 will also makes it’s debut on blu ray this year
