Written and directed by Ken Russell (The Devils, Altered States), 1988’s The Lair of the White Worm is an adaptation of Bram Stoker‘s 1911 novel, based on the English legend of the Lambton Worm.

Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who) stars as Angus Flint, a Scottish archaeology student excavating the site of a convent at a bed and breakfast run by the Trent sisters, Mary (Sammi Davis, Mona Lisa) and Eve (Catherine Oxenberg, Dynasty). There he unearths a massive, snake-like skull and believes it may be connected to the local legend of the d’Ampton worm, a mythical creature that feasted on the flesh of virgins.

The Vestron Video Collector’s Series is bringing the family back together with Parents, coming to limited-edition Blu-ray on January 31 from Lionsgate. In this horror-comedy cult classic, a young boy (Bryan Madorsky) in 1950s suburbia suspects his parents are cannibalistic murderers.

In addition to Parents, Vestron is bringing the British horror classic The Lair of the White Worm to Blu-ray on January 31 as well. In a remote corner of England’s Peak District, a mysterious skull is unearthed, then quickly stolen for use in worshipping a pagan god, the White Worm.
