EVIL LIMB DONORS, VENGEANCE FROM THE GRAVE, AND DRILLER KILLERS HIGHLIGHT SCREAM FACTORY'S FINAL TRIO OF TITLES FOR JANUARY 2020!

I own the SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE films on DVD and would like to eventually upgrade them to Blu-ray (i.e. when Parts II & III come back into print), and I'm definitely interested in scoping out LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH, but BODY PARTS is easily the Scream Factory release I'm most excited for. Written and directed by Eric Red (a screenwriter and filmmaker that doesn't get nearly enough praise) and featuring Jeff Fahey and Brad Dourif, this early 90s Horror flick has managed to evade me for decades! But now, thanks to Scream Factory's efforts, I will finally be able to watch this oft-overlooked classic in HD!

BODY PARTS (1991)

Synopsis: From Eric Red, the writer of THE HITCHER and NEAR DARK, comes this tale of a medical experiment gone very wrong.

Bill Chrushank is a criminal psychologist who loses his arm and nearly his life in a grisly car accident. A daring medical operation follows, in which a donor's arm is successfully grafted onto Bill's body. But after the operation, the arm starts to take on a violent life of its own, striking out against Bill's wife and children. Consumed by fears about his dangerous behavior, Bill is driven to learn the donor's identity – and makes a horrifying discovery that delivers him into a world of unimaginable terror. Written and directed by Eric Red (COHEN & TATE, BAD MOON), this thriller stars Jeff Fahey (ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL) and Brad Dourif (CHILD'S PLAY, GRAVEYARD SHIFT).

LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH (1971)

Synopsis: Released from an institution after suffering a nervous breakdown, Jessica (Zohra Lampert - THE EXORCIST III) seeks the tranquility of a secluded home in Connecticut to help make her recovery complete. But instead of a restful recuperation with her husband and close friend in the New England countryside, Jessica soon finds herself falling into a swirling vortex of madness and the supernatural!

And an even more unsettling discovery is that the entire region seems to be under the influence of a mysterious woman who has been living in the supposedly empty house.
