Nice! I love when they use the original poster for steelbooks, kudos for them. I pre-ordered both this and the limited edition. I'll see which one i'll keep later on. This would go nicely next to my scream factory steelbook, they both have similar color schemes.

Love it, ordered.

Bonus features:
- Inside the Career of Joe Dante
- Brand new featurette that celebrates the incredible career of Joe Dante
- Welcome to Werewolfland A lookback into the special effects of The Howling
- Deleted Scenes
- Outtakes - These outtakes will leave you howling

I'm curious if they add more existing bonus features.
It's obvious they wont be releasing the ones from the Shout Release.

Welcome to Werewolf land was a bonus feature on the German release. It was on an extra DVD and ran for 48 minutes.

The bonus features that come closest to a previous release, from what I can tell, is that UK DVD

DISC TWO
"Welcome to Werewolfland" 2004 documentary (49:10)
Deleted Scenes (10:37)
Outtakes (12:22)

Excellent looking steel. Easy buy.

I wonder if this might get a U.S. release, possibly a Best Buy exclusive?

It won't. This is a Studiocanal release. Scream has the rights to it in the US, and if they were to do a Steelbook, it would be different from this.

one69chev · 08-19-2021, 02:50 PM

Preordered, oh yes!

Okay Thanks.

I'll probably order a copy then. I don't own this movie on any format.

lethalkrs · 08-19-2021, 02:58 PM

Will have to stick with my SF steelbook, although it does look nice, need to have some self control!

Just keep in mind that the Blu-ray will be region B locked (the 4K disc will be region free).

JGCramp · 08-19-2021, 03:10 PM

Looks like it’s also available in Germany and France. I preordered a copy from Fnac this morning.

Thanks. If I decide to get it that won't be a problem.

Preordered this along with the Collectors edition. Both look great and I love this film so was an easy double dip for me

The 2017 BD was actually quite stacked

I wish I could trust Zavvi, but after the True Romance debacle(not to mention their horrible track record with packaging these steelbooks), I'm inclined to just order the regular edition from another site.

What problems have existed in the past with Zavvi? I recently started ordering from them and everything has been great so far. I had no issues w/ True Romance either so what was the problem there?

I preordered the deluxe edition of The Howling but that Steelbook is very nice,
