The horror spoof Stan Helsing was acquired by Anchor Bay Entertainment not too long ago and today they have sent over the official specs for both the DVD and BluRay versions of the film. The DVD will be priced around $26.97 and the BluRay will be $34.98 and both will hit shelves on October 27th. It will also have exclusive theatrical engagements in New York, Los Angeles and other select cities the weekend of Friday, October 23rd.

Stan Helsing follows the misadventures of hapless video store clerk Stan Helsing (Steve Howey) and his friends. During what should be a routine video delivery on Halloween night before going to a Halloween party, Stan and company find themselves stranded in the mysterious residential development of Stormy Night Estates. There, Stan learns of his true destiny as a descendant of the legendary monster-hunter Van Helsing. With his motley band in tow – including his best friend Teddy (Saturday Night Live star Kenan Thompson), he will battle evil in the form of parodies of movie monster icons “Freddy,” “Jason,” “Leatherface,” “Pinhead,” “Michael Myers,” and “Chucky.” The ultimate confrontation between good and evil will require immeasurable courage, grim determination – and a flair for karaoke?

Both the DVD and BluRay editions will include:

* Commentary with writer/producer/director Bo Zenga and actors Kenan Thompson and Desi Lydic
* Killer Parody: The Making of Stan Helsing featurette
* Extended, Alternate & Deleted Scenes
