‘Rosemary’s Baby’ Coming to 4K in October with This Brand New Artwork

'Rosemary's Baby' - Is Paramount's 'Apartment 7A' a Secret Remake?! [Exclusive]

The latest horror classic to make the jump to 4K Ultra HD is 1968’s Rosemary’s Baby, which Paramount is bringing to 4K Ultra HD just in time for Halloween this year.

Rosemary’s Baby debuts on 4K Ultra HD on October 10, 2023.

The release celebrates the 55th anniversary of the Oscar-winning horror movie, and the fresh new 4K Ultra HD package also includes a Blu-ray as well as a Digital Code.

Rosemary’s Baby also gets new artwork for the 4K release, seen below.

“This adaptation of Ira Levin’s best-selling novel is the story of a loving young New York City couple who are expecting their first child. Like most first-time mothers, Rosemary (Mia Farrow) experiences confusion and fear. Her husband (John Cassavetes), an ambitious but unsuccessful actor, makes a pact with the devil that promises to send his career skyward.

“Director Roman Polanski elicits uniformly extraordinary performance from the all-star cast. Ruth Gordon won an Oscar® for her performance as an oversolicitous next-door neighbor in this classic chiller,” the official product description continues.

“Horror director William Castle, known for creating theatrical gimmicks around his films, purchased the rights to Ira Levin’s 1967 novel with the hopes of being taken more seriously as a director. Instead, the studio pushed him into a producer role, opting for newcomer Roman Polanski to helm the adaptation,” Meagan Navarro explained in her BD article celebrating the best horror movies of the 1960s. “The result is one of the best horror movies of all time. Mia Farrow gives an all-time best performance as Rosemary Woodhouse, the poor housewife unwittingly raped and impregnated by the Devil himself thanks to a selfish, ambitious husband. The psychological horror that ensues, spiraling into full-blown paranoia, remains timeless.”

‘Hokum’ Heads Home to Digital Tomorrow Ahead of Physical Media Release in August

Hokum Review - Hokum Digital Release Date

After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.

Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.

Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.

Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.

Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.

Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.

I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”

What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
