Horror has seen the rise and fall off many greats but few left a lasting impression like the brilliant actor Peter Cushing. Cushing starred in several classics in the 60s and 70s but very few were considered a “sleeper” hit like Shock Waves were. Today I received word that Blue Underground will be releasing a new special edition DVD and blu. Check out the press release below:
In the dark days of World War II, the Nazi High Command ordered its scientists to create a top secret race of indestructible zombie storm troopers – un-living, unfeeling, unstoppable monstrosities that killed with their bare hands. They were known as The Death Corps. No member of this horrific SS unit was ever captured by the Allied Forces – and, somewhere off the coast of Florida, they have survived…
Peter Cushing (STAR WARS), Brooke Adams (INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS) and John Carradine (THE BOOGEY MAN) star in this suspenseful and genuinely creepy shocker co-written and directed by Ken Wiederhorn (RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD PART II). One of the great horror “sleepers” of the 1970s, SHOCK WAVES has been freshly transferred and fully restored in High Definition from the only known surviving materials!
The DVD and blu will be packed with special features, way more than I care to take the time to list as I sit here in the hospital. However, you can damn sure bet I will be adding one of these fine releases to my collection. You can expect to see these on the self November 25th!
