‘Bubba Ho-Tep’ 20th Anniversary Being Celebrated With the Film’s 4K Ultra HD Debut
Scream Factory is upgrading Don Coscarelli‘s Bubba Ho-Tep to 4K Ultra HD just in time for the film’s 20th anniversary, with a “vivid new 4K master” being promised by Coscarelli.
Scream Factory will release Bubba Ho-Tep on 4K Ultra HD on February 7, 2023.
Coscarelli teases, “On and off for the last few months I’ve been working at a film restoration facility meticulously reviewing the original camera negatives from the Bubba Ho-Tep shoot 20 years ago and overseeing their conversion frame by frame into a vivid new 4k master.”
You can pre-order a few different versions of the release from Scream Factory’s official website now, including deluxe editions with autographed posters and enamel pin sets.
Bruce Campbell (Army of Darkness) “gives his greatest and most entertaining performance to date” (Premiere) as an aging and cantankerous “Elvis” in this “zinger-filled crowd-pleaser” (The Hollywood Reporter) from writer-director Don Coscarelli (Phantasm, John Dies At The End)! When mysterious deaths plague a Texas retirement home, it’s up to its most sequined senior citizen to take on a 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy with a penchant for cowboy boots, bathroom graffiti and sucking the souls from the barely living!
One of my personal favorite horror movies of all time, 1987’s gateway horror classic The Gate is opening back up on May 14 with a brand new Blu-ray SteelBook release from Lionsgate!

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
