Faithful readers: back in January 13th I waxed on just a little bit about the forthcoming release of The Sword And The Sorcerer (1982).  (Link)  I won't revisit the point suffice it to say that I'm not as big a fan of the film as are many of my contemporaries, but it's a nice little B-Movie, at best.  Essentially, I just wanted to let folks know that there would finally be a good release of the film that's deserved much better than what's been available before ... and now it looks like Scream Factory has answered that call.

I found the specs for their March 15th release this afternoon published on Bluray.com, and it's nothing short of spectacular.  Though this isn't a favorite of mine by any estimation, I might just have to pick this one up (since I can't get the folks at Scream to answer any of my email requests, not even to put on their mailing list for promotions it would seem).  It's an incredible package ("that's what she said"), and I've no doubt that fans might be lining up to purchase a copy of this one.

Details will be copied and pasted below.  You know what to do.

As always, thanks for reading ... and live long and prosper!
