Scream Factory is giving the 1987 classic The Stepfather a 4K and Blu-ray release, featuring a commentary by JoBlo’s own Kier Gomes
Back in April, JoBlo’s own Kier Gomes – who hosts the JoBlo Originals Live Stream, Friday Night Flicks, on our JoBlo Originals channel and over on our RUMBLE channel – put together an episode of the Deconstructing series that took a look at the 1987 classic The Stepfather. Now Scream Factory has revealed the list of bonus features that will be included on their upcoming 4K and Blu-ray release of The Stepfather – and that list includes an audio commentary by Kier Gomes! The street date for this release is September 10th, and copies are available for pre-order at THIS LINK.
Directed by Joseph Ruben from a screenplay by popular crime novelist Donald E. Westlake (who crafted the story with
Carolyn Lefcourt and Death Wish author Brian Garfield), The Stepfather has the following synopsis: Jerry Blake is a family man, but he happens to have a series of families, with each one on the receiving end of his murderous ways. When Jerry sets his sights on a lovely widow named Susan and her headstrong daughter, Stephanie, it appears that his brutal pattern of killings will continue. However, Stephanie begins to suspect that there’s something wrong with the seemingly well-adjusted Jerry, and a violent confrontation is inevitable.
The film stars Terry O’Quinn, Shelley Hack, Jill Schoelen, Charles Lanyer, Stephen Shellen, Stephen E. Miller, Robyn Stevan, and Jeff Schultz.
