Lightning Media gave Fango the first look at cover art for its impending DVD release of the Clive Barker feature BOOK OF BLOOD, as well as the content details; check ’em out below. Directed by John Harrison from a script he wrote with Darin Silverman (based on Barker’s short stories “The Book of Blood” and “On Jerusalem Street”), the film was initially intended for limited theatrical release by Lightning late this year before being put on the straight-to-disc route.

Lightning’s DVD, which streets September 29, will present the movie in 16x9-enhanced 1.78 widescreen with 5.1 Surround sound, accompanied by a making-of featurette running approximately 20 minutes. There will also be a Blu-ray release the same day with the same specs. Jonas Armstrong stars in BOOK OF BLOOD as a medium who is brought by a parapsychologist (Sophie Ward) to an allegedly haunted house. At first he fakes sightings of the spirits, but then they begin to manifest for real—and carve words into his skin. See our early minireview here,  and look for a set-visit report on BOOK OF BLOOD in Fango #287, on sale in September.
