We got a wonderful 4th of July surprise from Scream Factory this year. Today, they announced 4K UHD versions of John Carpenter’s The Fog, Fede Alvarez‘s 2013 remake of Evil Dead, and Army of Darkness. The Fog has the most extras of the three involved with over 10 variations on what you can buy for it.
Here’s what’s included in the most deluxe ShoutFactory offer:

The A-side includes the 2017 version of “The Fog Theme” and the B-side contains a never-before-released recording of “Walk To The Lighthouse” recorded by the trio in 2019. Our black and blue merge vinyl variant is a limited edition of 2,500 copies and is housed in a lavish slipcase with new art by frequent Carpenter collaborator Chris Bilheimer.
