Severin Films has revealed the complete specs for its Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray combo releases of Alex de la Iglesia’s savagely satirical 1995 religious horror film THE DAY OF THE BEAST (pictured) and his over-the-top 1997 thriller PERDITA DURANGO, both streeting March 30, 2021.

The movie will be presented in 1.85:1 widescreen with Spanish 5.1 Surround and 2.0 stereo soundtracks (English subtitled) and 2.0 stereo English audio. Special feature
