10 Of The Best Upcoming 4K And Blu-Ray Horror Releases – Fangoria

Vernon Zimmerman’s 1980 cult horror comedy Fade to Black stars Dennis Christopher (It) as Eric, an obsessive film addict with a penchant for cosplay. Was he not also homicidal maniac, he’d probably be a pretty cool guy to hang around with. Alas. Shout! Factory’s brand new 4K Dolby Vision restoration of Fade to Black comes with audio commentaries, interviews and a limited edition slipcover.

Pre-order Fade to Black for a July 29 release right here.

Following a hugely successful box office run (becoming the biggest Final Destination movie ever), Final Destination Bloodlines is coming to 4K UHD and Digital so you can enjoy the film from the safety of your very own home. Special features on the release include commentary with directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, a grisly Making Of and a Legacy of Bludworth feature with the late, great Tony Todd.

A true cult classic, John D. Hancock’s eerie and chilling Let’s Scare Jessica to Death is a relatively underseen gem of 1970’s horror, and perfect for a deluxe release from Vinegar Syndrome. The director-approved 4K restoration comes from its 35mm original camera negative, and is presented in presented in Dolby Vision High-Dynamic-Range. Special features include a commentary with Hancock, commentary with authors Kim Newman and Sean Hogan, interviews and more.

Thai horror-comedy Pee Mak spins a traditional ghostly folktale and turns it into something equally hilarious, heartwarming, and still at times horrifying. From Shutter and The Medium director Banjong Pisanthanakun, Pee Mak because Thailand’s highest-grossing film of all time upon release in 2013, as well as winning a ton of awards on its home shores. The good folks at cult label Error 4444 pushed their Pee Mak release back to July to ensure quality control (truly, their releases are always top notch), meaning you’ve still got a chance to order the Limited Edition set with a booklet of all-new writing and stickers.

Pre-order Pee Mak here for release later this month.

Denny Harris’ 1979 Gothic horror Silent Scream is often overlooked in slasher discussions, but hopefully not after getting a new restoration courtesy of Kino Lorber. The brand new HDR 10 Master release comes with audio commentaries, including one with star Barbara Steele, featurettes and interviews.

We know we don’t have to convince fans of the biggest horror movie of 2025 so far to add it to their physical media collection, but on the off-chance you somehow haven’t seen it yet – Sinners on 4K UHD is pretty much a must-have. Ryan Coogler’s instant modern horror classic stars Michael B. Jordan stars as troubled twin brothers Smoke and Stack who return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. Add in an absolutely stacked supporting cast of Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, Delroy Lindo, Jack O’Connell and newcomer Miles Caton (plus some jaw-dropping musical sequences), and Sinners easily lives up to the hype.

Pre-order Sinners for a July 8 release date right here.

Following Species‘ 1995 release, Boxoffice Magazine’s Cristine James described the sci-fi horror as “Alien meets V meets Splash meets Playboy’s Erotic Fantasies: Forbidden Liaisons“, which will either sound like the worst or best thing in the world to you depending on your own proclivities. Should you be in the latter camp, 88 Films’ stacked Species release should be right up your alley. The new 4K remaster release comes with an audio commentary from stars Natasha Henstridge and Michael Madsen and director Roger Donaldson, Making Of featurettes, a fold out poster and more.

Following the aptly-named Terrified from 2017,  Demián Rugna bit back into horror with 2023’s When Evil Lurks, the grisly possession pic that had even hardcore horror fans shocked with the gnarliness on display. The FANGORIA Chainsaw Award-nominated When Evil Lurks follows two brothers (Ezequiel Rodríguez and Demián Salomon) trying to protect their respective families from a rapidly spreading demonic possession across Argentina, and currently has a sequel in development (yay!) Second Sight’s release comes, as always, with a ton of new writing on the film, new interviews with Rugna, Rodríguez and Salomon, plus incredibly bold artwork (IYKYK) from Chris Berning.
