FANS OF STEELBOOKS REJOICE! SCREAM FACTORY'S NEW LIMITED EDITION RELEASES OF "ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK," "THE FOG," AND "THEY LIVE" ARE JUST FOR YOU!
I've never been big on collecting steelbook releases (I've double-dipped enough thank you), but sometimes I will splurge on one if it looks appealing enough to me. That being said, had I not already owned these Scream Factory titles, I would be all over the new Steelbooks!
Aside from fancy new artwork, all the extras and transfers are exactly the same as before. This is strictly something for the steelbook crowd! Everyone else, just move along and stop grumbling about it, especially since Scream Factory dropped several other new titles today as well!
ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (LIMITED EDITION STEELBOOK)
Synopsis: A thrilling landmark film that jolts along at a breakneck pace, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK leapt to cult status with high-octane action, edge-of-your-seat suspense and the mind-blowing vision of lone warrior Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) battling his way out of a post-apocalyptic Manhattan!
In a world ravaged by crime, the entire island of Manhattan has been converted into a walled prison where brutal prisoners roam. But when the US president (Donald Pleasence) crash-lands inside, only one man can bring him back: notorious outlaw and former Special Forces war hero Snake Plissken (Russell). But time is short. In 24 hours, an explosive device implanted in his neck will end Snake's mission – and his life – unless he succeeds!

The sleepy seaside village of Antonio Bay is about to learn the true meaning of the word "vengeance." This seemingly perfect town masks a guilty secret ... a past steeped in greed and murder.

Synopsis: They influence our decisions without us knowing it. They numb our senses without us feeling it. They control our lives without us realizing it. THEY LIVE.
Horror master John Carpenter (HALLOWEEN, THE THING) directs this heart-pounding thriller in which aliens are systematically gaining control of the Earth by masquerading as humans and lulling the public into submission. Humanity's last chance lies with a lone drifter who stumbles upon a harrowing discovery — a unique pair of sunglasses that reveals the terrifying and deadly truth.
