A METEOR CRASHED ON EARTH…
NO ONE KNEW THE MYSTERY OF THE MUTANT SPORES INSIDE!
A pair of campers stumble upon the remnants of a meteorite and discover some fanged, worm-like creatures have hitched a ride to Earth. After the “appetizer,” the deadly alien spawn take refuge in the basement of an isolated house and prepare for the main course! With the people in the neighborhood now becoming the entrees of an intergalactic monster buffet, a group of teenagers, led by a small boy, decide to take this matter into their own hands! Will they be able to stop the creatures from reproducing and rid the Earth of the deadly spawn once and for all?
Featuring practical creature creations by John Dods (Spookies, Black Roses, Monsters TV series), The Deadly Spawn has been totally remastered in 4K from the original 16mm camera negative. With hours of supplementary material compiled from the personal collections of the cast and crew, The Deadly Spawn can finally invade your home theatre in the best version ever released to home video. Just try not to put this disc in the basement… you might be surprised at what you find down there!
