Customers who order directly from ShoutFactory.com will be able to choose from two exclusive offers.
First up, there's the Prince of Darkness Collector’s Edition (4K UHD/Blu-Ray) plus an 18” x 24” rolled poster reproduction of the original theatrical art. The posters will be made at a limited quantity.
There's also a deluxe edition bundle, which includes the Prince of Darkness Collector’s Edition (4K UHD/Blu-Ray) and aforementioned poster with a new exclusive 7" Sacred Bones record, while supplies last.
The 7" is pressed on exclusive white and red splatter vinyl via Sacred Bones, and features music from Prince of Darkness composed by John Carpenter and recorded by John, Cody Carpenter, and Daniel Davies. The A-side includes the 2017 version of the main title and the B-side contains a never-before-released recording of "Love at a Distance" recorded by the trio in 2020. The white and red splatter vinyl variant is a limited edition of 2,000 copies and is housed in a lavish slipcase with new art by frequent Carpenter collaborator Chris Bilheimer.
Donald Pleasence (Halloween), Jameson Parker (Simon & Simon), Lisa Blount (Needful Things), shock rock legend Alice Cooper, Victor Wong and Dennis Dun (Big Trouble In Little China) star in the film that depicts a terrifying battle between mankind and the ultimate evil.
"A group of graduate students and scientists uncover an ancient canister in an abandoned church, but when they open it, they inadvertently unleash a strange liquid and an evil force on all of humanity. As the liquid turns their co-workers into zombies, the remaining members realize they have released the most unspeakable horror of them all. Terror mounts as the team must fight to save the world from a devilish fury that has been contained for over seven million years."
