Francis Ford Coppola’s love letter to the horror genre, “Twixt,” is coming to DVD and Blu-ray July 23, thanks to Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. The film is a horrifying Gothic horror story that became a favorite on the film festival circuit, including the Toronto Film Festival, San Francisco International Film Festival, San Diego Comic-Con, the European Union Film Festival and others. The film stars Val Kilmer, Elle Fanning and Bruce Dern and tells the story of a writer who comes face-to-face with a ghost:

“TWIXT follows Hall Baltimore (Kilmer), a writer on a book tour who uncovers a disturbing murder that could be source material for his next novel. But as Hall investigates the killing, he finds himself confronted by chilling nightmares, including the ghost of a young girl (Fanning). As he uncovers more horrifying revelations, Hall discovers that the story has more to do with his own life than he could ever have imagined.”

The special feature the DVD and Blu-ray will come with is an exclusive forty minute documentary on the making of the film by Gia Coppola, Coppola’s granddaughter.
