Synapse Films Announces Demons Release

DEMONS_webSynapse Films, the kings of procrastination, have finally set a release date for the Italian horror classics Demons, and Demons 2.  Appropriately enough, it’s October 29th, 2013.

But there’s a catch.  Both movies are limited editions (3000 units a piece), and will be available exclusively through Synapse’s website for a mere $46 each.

In exchange for paying twice what Synapse Blu Rays usually cost at retail, you’ll get the special Steelbook case, featuring original art by Wes Benscoter.  Synapse says that they may release regular editions later on, but currently have no plans to do so.

The Hull Family met a pretty gruesome end.’ Continue reading
