*** SURPRISE SLASHER ANNOUNCEMENT!!! ***
Prepare to stare in wide-mouthed disbelief! As previously teased by Arrow Video’s Ewan Cant on slasher podcast The Hysteria Continues, we are extremely excited to reveal that we will be giving the hugely underrated slice-and-dicer THE PREY its due later this year with a brand new, extras-laden 2-disc Blu-ray edition - including both the Original US Theatrical Cut, and the much-celebrated extended “Gypsy Cut” coveted by hardened horror fans everywhere!!! And if that wasn’t enough Prey-related goodness for you, we’ll be unveiling our new restoration of the film (from the original, long-lost camera negative, no less) at this year’s Texas Frightmare Weekend, where stars Lori Lethin, Carel Struycken and Jackson Bostwick will be on hand to answer all of your Prey-related questions. Further details to follow soon, you happy campers - in the meantime, check out the brand new artwork especially commissioned for the limited edition slip

The original VHS release!

I've honestly never even heard of it! Is it supposed to be notoriously bad or something?

It's a new one for me too

I remember the artwork from shelves but haven't seen the film.

The fact Arrow's "brand new artwork especially commissioned" is the exact same as the old vhs suggests an April Fool. Pity as it would be a welcome release i think.

Yeah, but if I'm remembering correctly, they did an April fools with the Burning and Incredible Melting Man, so who knows

So if they were actual releases how were they April fools?

Pretty sure they "announced" them on this day and people called them out for them being jokes and then a few weeks/months later they actually did announce them, could be wrong though, I've slept and drunk a lot since then

Here's hoping then.

I remember they announced The Burning as coming in a burger box or something daft like that as 'collector's packaging'

It's an extraordinarily boring early slasher with some pretty scenery and maybe one good kill.

I'll probably still get it.
