Very, very, very exciting stuff coming from Scream Factory as they have announced that the John Waters classic Serial Mom is set to receive a collector’s edition Blu-ray that will hit shelves on May 9, 2016! This pleases me greatly. In this week’s New to Blu I actually called out an Australian release of Serial Mom that is due out this week and stated we were still waiting for an American release and then just like that Scream Factory made this glorious announcement! The more John Waters on Blu-ray, the better!

Synopsis:

If you are ill-mannered, have a poor sense of social etiquette or just plain irresponsible, then beware of the cheerfully psychotic housewife Beverly Sutphin from John Waters’ wickedly hilarious cult classic, SERIAL MOM. She will stop at nothing to rid of anyone failing to live up to her moral code! Starring Kathleen Turner (Romancing the Stone) as Beverly Sutphin, Sam Waterston (Grace and Frankie) and Ricki Lake (Hairspray), writer-director and pop culture icon John Waters puts a twist on the everyday mediocrity of suburban life in this outrageous dark comedy brimming with his unique brand of perverse humor and high camp. The film also stars Mink Stole (Pink Flamingos), Patricia Hearst (A Dirty Shame), Matthew Lillard (Scream), Mary Jo Catlett (Diff’rent Strokes), Traci Lords (Cry-Baby), with special appearance by Suzanne Somers (Three’s Company). It’s a killer comedy that will take fans and audience over the edge with laughter!
