Based on the successful Blade franchise, Blade: House of Chthon is the feature-length, extended and unrated pilot of the hit television show, Blade: The Series. Penned by David Goyer, writer of the Blade trilogy, Blade: House of Chthon follows Blade (Sticky Fingaz of the infamous rap group Onyx; Dead Presidents, Next Friday), a unique half-breed with all of the strengths of the vampire species but none of their weaknesses, in his quest to destroy the entire vampire population and save humanity. He is joined in his mission by the ruthless and beautiful Krista Starr (Jill Wagner; TV’s Monk, Junebug), who is searching for the secret truth behind her brother’s mysterious murder. Delve deeper into the seedy underworld with special features including the all-new “Turning Blade” documentary and feature commentaries by the director and writers. Blade: House of Chthon will be available at a $19.97 SRP. The order due date is August 14, 2007.
The brutal hunt for the pure bloods continues as the ultimate vampire hunter, Blade, battles to defeat the House of Chthon, an ancient evil sect of vampires that is growing stronger everyday. Led by the vampire overlord Marcus, their objective is to create a vaccine that will give rise to a new breed of super vampires, immune to vampire weaknesses. In order to stop them, Blade joins forces with the merciless Krista, whose brother was slain by the vampires and who will stop at nothing to infiltrate the House of Chthon. With her help, Blade will do everything he can to win this war and save humanity before it’s too late.
