First Look at ‘Alien’ Six Film Collection and ‘Alien: Covenant’ Steelbook
Alien: Covenant heads home this Fall.
I already can’t wait to own Ridley Scott’s latest prequel to Alien, which I personally found to be the best film in the franchise since Aliens. Just released over the weekend, Alien: Covenant is a pitch perfect blend of heady Prometheus ideas and intense Alien terror, and you better believe I’ll be first in line to grab a copy when it comes out.
We don’t yet have a date, but we have already learned that Alien: Covenant will be getting Blu-ray, DVD and 4K releases this Fall. In addition, a special Steelbook release will hit Best Buy in the US and HMV in the UK. But what about the entire Alien franchise, now that we’ve got a new installment?
Along with the individual release(s) of Alien: Covenant comes the Alien 6 Film Collection, in both a regular Blu-ray version and Steelbook version. The set includes Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien: Resurrection, Prometheus, and Alien: Covenant.

‘Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story’ Slashes into VHS from Lunchmeat!
The SCREAMBOX Original documentary Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story is now streaming on SCREAMBOX, and it’s next coming to VHS!
A limited edition of only 50 copies worldwide, the VHS copies of the Englund documentary will go up for grabs on Saturday, April 27 at 12pm EST on Lunchmeat’s official website.
Josh Schafer of Lunchmeat explains, “With so many of Englund’s works being seen and familiarized on videotape, it only felt right to offer fans and collectors the opportunity to experience this fantastic doc on VHS. We all know the Freddy movies just feel different on videocassette, and we wanted to bring that feel to this film for those who want it.”
“Since first donning a tattered fedora and a glove of eviscerating blades in 1984, Robert Englund has become a beloved horror icon. His portrayal of Freddy Krueger is without doubt a moment as visceral to the horror genre as Chaney’s werewolf or Karloff’s groundbreaking realization of Frankenstein’s monster. However, few realize the depths of Englund’s true power as a character actor away from the latex mask and iconic red and green sweater.
“A classically trained actor and director, Robert Englund has become one of the most revolutionary horror icons of our generation.. This unique and intimate portrait captures the man behind the glove and features interviews with Englund and his wife Nancy, Lin Shaye, Eli Roth, Tony Todd, Heather Langenkamp, and more.
“This is the quintessential documentary on the man who didn’t just bring Freddy Krueger to horrific and historic life on-screen and beyond, but has created a fantastic career as an elite actor and entertainer.”
Selling for $30, the VHS is presented in native widescreen format & duplicated in NTSC, housed in full-color slipcase and pressed on black videocassettes with silver foil face and side labels.
The VHS release is presented in partnership with Cineverse, Bloody Disgusting, and Screambox, in association with Dead Mouse Productions and Cult Screenings U.K.
