Scream Factory’s ambitious The Fly Collection Blu-ray box set has a nailed-down release date of December 10th.
When most folks think of The Fly, they think of Jeff Goldblum and The Fly (1986) with its sequel, The Fly II (1989).
However, there are three classic The Fly films starting with The Fly in 1958 and its sequels, Return of the Fly and Curse of the Fly.
