About The Serpent and the Rainbow:

Directed by Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream) The Serpent and The Rainbow is based on the book and true life experiences of ethnobotanist Wade Davis. Filmed on location in Haiti, it's a frightening excursion into black magic and the supernatural. As part of The Fabulous 80’s series this Blu-ray includes a bonus double-sided fold-out poster of all new artwork created by Rich Davies.

Wade Davis was named by the National Geographic Society as one of the Explorers for the Millennium. His research has been the subject of more than 900 media reports and interviews in Europe, North & South America and the Far East. He has inspired numerous documentary films as well as three episodes of the television series The X-Files.

When Wes Craven released his first horror film The Last House On The Left in 1972, tenants in his group apartment were appalled and would no longer leave their children alone with him. People would walk out of the room he was in and many projection booths were broken in to, to destroy the films. Craven had to set up an editing room especially to repair prints that had been slashed.

Synopsis: A terrifying story of one man's nightmarish journey into the eerie and deadly world of voodoo. A Harvard anthropologist is sent to Haiti to revive a strange powder that is said to have the power to bring human beings back from the dead. In his quest to find the miracle drug, the cynical scientist enters the rarely seen nether world of walking zombies, blood rites and ancient curses.

The Serpent and the Rainbow is now available on Blu-ray.
