Antonio Bay, California has turned a hundred years old. As the residents of this small, quaint harbour town begin to celebrate, an eerie fog envelops the shore and from its midst emerge dripping, demonic spectres, victims of a century old shipwreck…seeking revenge.

  1. Absolutely gobsmacked these releases look amazing.

  2. Going to need to sell some of my collection to raise some funds for these bad boys, unless they bring out cheaper steelbooks the same way Arrow do their big releases such as The Thing.
