Running With Scissors on DVD Feb 7th

Running with Scissors is coming to DVD Feb 6th. Running with Scissors is based on the personal memoir by Augusten Burroughs. Growing up in the 1970’s young Augusten (Joseph Cross) was living a middle-class existence with an alcoholic father (Baldwin) and a bipolar mother (Bening), an unpublished poet with delusions of becoming famous. When his parents divorced, Augusten’s mother sends him to live with her wildly unorthodox psychiatrist and his eccentric extended family.  The story portrays an outlaw childhood where rules were unheard of, the Christmas tree stayed up all year round, where Valium was consumed like candy, and if things got dull, an electroshock- therapy machine could provide entertainment.

DVD & BLU-RAY DISC BONUS FEATURES:

• Inside Outsiders: The cast discusses how they created their extreme characters.
• A Story by Augusten Burroughs: Augusten relates to how he wrote the book, why he selected Ryan Murphy to adapt it, and how he worked with the cast to help them step into this very specific world.
