This elusive title, never legitimately released on US home video, has now been acquired by Scream Factory, according to their announcement at the 2016 Comic Con.
There will be two versions of the film on the Blu-ray, running 94 and 104 minutes respectively.
There will also be brief interviews with stars John Moulder-Brown (from 2011) and Mary Maude (date unknown), plus a stills gallery and some trailers.
The street date was recently delayed from Dec. 20th until Dec. 27th, 2016. -

Finally!!! In a recent top 50 horror ranking I ranked it at #10. Bizarre that a gorgeous looking proto-slasher horror film rated 7.1 on IMDB took this long to get a watchable release. Those PD versions may be widescreen but are so heavily pixelated. I hope it is a version containing every single available scene, even if it has to flip through different sources.

The upcoming Blu-ray from Scream Factory will have two versions, a HD version that runs 94 minutes, and a complete 104 minute version that is mainly HD, but which will have inserts from a standard-def European print source.
Even with the inserts being standard def, I recommend the longer cut as the best one to watch. It should contain all of the footage from both the US and Spanish theatrical versions. -

I found a Shout! Factory blu-ray being released in December on Amazon, is that the one you're referring to? There are several reviews (from the DVD release) already linked to it, confusingly, but the Blu-ray is definitely not out until December, as you said.

Yes, the Scream Factory release on December 27th, 2016, will be the first release of the film in the Blu-ray format, anywhere in the world. The reviews currently posted on Amazon refer to poor quality US DVD and DVD-R releases from the past.
I'm sure that Scream's Blu-ray will be the definitive presentation of the film. -

I hope this Blu ray will sport a nice 2.35:1 w/s transfer. Whether it is anamorphic or not I really couldn't care.

The blu ray looks amazing! Even the longer cut looks great with a little lower resolution during the inserts but still looks great. Both versions are on one disc at very high bit rates for little or no compression problems. If you are a fan and have a blu ray player this is a must have!

And I've just ordered them literally a minute ago. I also have
2
of the original Australian vhs under the "Film & cable sales".-used by the old bootlegger companies. My collection just grows and grows
