Scream Factory’s ‘Big Trouble in Little China’ Blu-Ray Has Tons of Extras

Published

on

I’ve been told before that I gush a bit too much about Scream Factory, but I can’t help it. As a collector of physical media, I own more of their releases than I can count, and love how they give the royal treatment even to horror films that are quite obscure.

Over the years, Scream Factory has covered lots of John Carpenter films, usually in packed collector’s editions. Now, the company is doing the same for Carpenter’s 1986 cult classic Big Trouble in Little China, starring Kurt Russell as the immortal Jack Burton.

In usual Scream Factory style, this 2-disc Big Trouble in Little China Blu-Ray release will port over all prior extras from the old disc, while adding a bunch more. This includes two new audio commentaries, and a whopping twelve new interviews with cast and crew.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
