This should've been from Scream Factory, not Paramount.

So, identical steelbook to the blu-ray release, but a new PET slip instead of the VHS tape cardboard slipcover. Meh. It's ertainly not worth repurchasing the steelbook. But I eventually need to get this in 4K, so I'll grab the non-steel release when it's on sale.

Same. I still need to do that with Friday the 13th as well.

Same thing happened for H20. Shout released 6/7/8 in a set and then Paramount re-released it in a steelbook later. I am curious to see if there is a difference in this transfer.

It says "unavailable."

I assume the item has not gone live yet?

I held off on the blu ray steel hoping it would get a 4K version, so I am definitely interested in this one.

However, I do wish it came with the VHS slipcover. Now, I feel like I missed out on that. haha

terrible artwork

I wonder if we'll see a WM exclusive too. Paramount have been doing them with a few of their 4K releases (The Crow, Stardust, etc..)

They did. But, in a box set with the other two films.

Yeah... the one with the sticker that says blu-ray on it

For those who care Walmart has a 4K exclusive of this now. I just grabbed one when I was at the store this morning. I'm not going to be opening mine but I'm pretty sure the steelbook is the same as the mass release however it comes with the same VHS style slipcover that the Blu-Ray version that willo007 posted above had, except this has a J-card.

I had no clue there was an alternate artwork option with the Wal-Mart exclusive until seeing your comment here and I'm bummed because I like this artwork much better, and I've already opened my copy of the wide-release SteelBook version.

Yeah, I had no clue either. It's not listed on WM's website anywhere, nor was it announced on this site?!
