Shout! Factory has a real treat for James Gunn fans this week as the Guardians of the Galaxy mastermind’s 2006 creature feature Slither arrives on Blu-ray. Not only does the new Scream Factory collector’s edition mark the film’s HD debut, it’s packed with extra features, including a new commentary track from Gunn, Nathan Fillion and Michael Rooker.

Steelbook collectors and John Carpenter fans also get a fun set of releases on August 1 with new reissues of the Scream Factory editions of Escape From New York, The Fog and They Live. These are the same discs as the already-great Scream Factory collectors editions, but released with stylish wraparound steelbook artwork to celebrate the Master of Horror!

Kino Lorber then delivers the 1993 thriller The Good Son, which our own Chris Alexander took an extended look at last week.
