“Larry Fessenden is one of the most original voices to emerge in the horror field…” – Guillermo Del Toro

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. 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 20th, 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.
