Paramount Scares Vol. 1

LIMITED EDITION 4K BOX SET (PARAMOUNT)

So many timeless frights from a single studio: Mia Farrow stars in Roman Polanski’s disturbing Rosemary’s Baby (1968), Stephen King and Mary Lambert take us to the Pet Sematary (1989), Tim Burton and Johnny Depp serve up Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) before we sink our teeth into the underrated gator thriller Crawl (2019) and the newest of the bunch, Smile (2022). All enjoy native 4K masters with Dolby Vision, with varying audio formats and degrees of bonus content, each with an exclusive new stylized slipcover. Also tucked inside this handsome presentation box are a custom issue of Fangoria, a funky logo pin, fun stickers and digital copy codes.

The Prophecy I-III 4K

(VINEGAR SYNDROME)

Often overlooked despite a top-notch cast across the trilogy— Christopher Walken, Eric Stoltz, Viggo Mortensen, Amanda Plummer, Jennifer Beals, Brittany Murphy—the Prophecy is nonetheless a gripping saga of a stubborn evil angel determined to tip the battle for humanity’s fate in his favor. Gregory Widen’s The Prophecy (1995), Greg Spence’s The Prophecy II (1998) and Patrick Lussier’s The Prophecy 3: The Ascent (2000) are lovingly restored by Vinegar Syndrome for their 4K/HDR debut, crammed with new bonus content featuring actors and crew, and all housed inside an elaborate custom box.

Bride of Chucky; Seed of Chucky; Curse of Chucky; Cult of Chucky

4K (SHOUT! STUDIOS)

These final four o.g. Child’s Play sequels officially became “Chucky” films, in deference to their now iconic supernatural antagonist, rounding out the first three films in the series released by Shout! in 2022. Spanning almost 20 years, they plot some pretty wild territory as homicidal possessed toy Chuck finds love (Tiffany’s no Barbie but she’s a real doll), has a critter and more. All feature strong 4K/dolby Vision masters and lossless 5.1 soundtracks; Seed, Curse and Cult all with alternate cuts provided, along with HD Blu-rays and ample new and old extras.
