Award-winning filmmaker Larry Fessenden has become an indie horror legend with his idiosyncratic, genre-bending films. As a writer, producer, director, and actor, Fessenden’s oeuvre has developed a passionate fan base who applaud his realistic, character-driven horror stories. Fessenden’s films often examine the disintegration of civilization and humanity, provoking terror in the viewer through psychological dread, not gratuitous gore. <br /> <br />Scream Factory, in conjunction with IFC Midnight, will bring together four critically-acclaimed films by this multi-talented filmmaker with the release of the four-disc The Larry Fessenden Collection on Blu-ray on October 20, 2015. Marking the first time these films have been available on Blu-ray, The Larry Fessenden Collection includes No Telling, Habit, Wendigo, and The Last Winter and features new, director-supervised HD transfers. The first three hundred fans who pre-order their copies from ShoutFactory.com will have their slipcase signed by Larry Fessenden. <br /> <br />The most complete retrospective of the filmmaker’s work to date, the set also boasts a bevy of bonus content, including a 24-page booklet with liner notes by Fangoria’s Michael Gingold that includes never-before-seen photos; storyboards and sketches; new audio commentaries with Larry Fessenden, Patricia Clarkson, Jake Weber, and John Speredakos; a new interview with Larry Fessenden; making-of featurettes for No Telling, Habit, and The Last Winter; Fessenden’s short films, including the rarities White Trash and Santa Claws; Fessenden’s music videos “Save You from Yourself,” “Frankenstein Cannot be Stopped,” and “Tired of Killing Myself”; the feature-length documentary The Making of The Last Winter; behind-the-scenes featuettes; archival footage; and much more. <br /> <br />Films in The Larry Fessenden Collection: <br />No Telling (1991): An organic-farming advocate meets a woman whose husband does weird limb transplant experiments with animals. <br />Habit (1995): A down-on-his-luck New York bohemian meets a mysterious women at a Halloween party, believing she might be a vampire. <br />Wendigo (2001): A family vacationing in the country are terrorized by the ferocious spirit of the Wendigo, a Native American myth made manifest in their son’s imagination. <br />The Last Winter (2006): Strange events begin to plague a crew sent to evaluate the environmental impact of oil drilling in the Arctic. <br />Stars: Connie Britton, Ron Perlman , Larry Fessenden, Meredith Snaider, Miriam Healy-Louie, Patricia Clarkson, Jake Weber, Erik Per Sullivan, James Le Gros <br /> <br />The Larry Fessenden Collection Special Features <br /> <br />24-Page Booklet with liner notes by Fangoria’s Michael Gingold, featuring never-before-seen photos, storyboards and sketches. <br />No Telling <br /> <br />NEW director-approved HD Transfer <br />NEW audio commentary with writer/director/executive producer Larry Fessenden <br />Making of No Telling (1991) <br />Archival footage (1990) <br />Short Film White Trash (1979) with new music by composer Will Bates <br />Glass Eye Pix Sizzle Reel (1985-1990) <br />Habit <br /> <br />NEW director-approved HD Transfer <br />NEW audio commentary with actor/director/writer/editor Larry Fessenden <br />The Making of Habit featurette (1995) <br />Short film Habit (1981) (20 minutes) <br />The Making of short film Habit (1981) <br />“Save You from Yourself” music video <br />Theatrical trailer <br />Short film N Is for Nexus from Magnet Releasing’s ABCs of Death 2 <br />The Making of N Is for Nexus <br />“Frankenstein Cannot Be Stopped” music video <br />Wendigo <br /> <br />NEW director-approved HD Transfer <br />NEW audio commentary with writer/director/editor Larry Fessenden <br />NEW audio commentary with actors Patricia Clarkson, Jake Weber, and John Speredakos <br />Search for the Wendigo – Behind-the-Scenes featurette (2001) <br />Interview with Larry Fessenden (2001) <br />WENDIGO: animated series trailer <br />Short Film Santa Claws (2008) <br />Theatrical trailer <br />Glass Eye Pix Sizzle Reel (2010) <br />The Last Winter <br /> <br />Audio commentary with co-writer/director/producer/editor Larry Fessenden <br />The Making of The Last Winter – full-length documentary featuring deleted scenes <br />Archival footage (2005) <br />Short film Jebediah <br />Short film Origins <br />Short film Mister <br />“Tired of Killing Myself” music video <br />NEW 2015 interview with Larry Fessenden <br />Glass Eye Pix Sizzle Reel (2014)
