“Stranger Things” Season 1 Getting VHS-Style Blu-ray Release at Target!
Yes, the rumors have been officially confirmed.
Last week, the above photos began circulating around the net, suggesting that Netflix was finally going to be bringing the first season of “Stranger Things” to DVD/Blu-ray… in retro-style, VHS-inspired packaging! We were holding off on reporting until we got official word, which we’ve just received tonight.
With Season 2 arriving on October 27, Target and Netflix have partnered for a line of fun and exclusive products. With exclusive apparel, accessories and housewares inspired by the show coming to Target on October 15, these products kick off a unique partnership to create epic, exclusive items inspired by Netflix-original shows.
In addition to lounge-wear, mugs, glass tumblers and toys, Target will exclusively carry a Blu Ray/DVD set of Season 1 on October 17, including retro-inspired packaging.
Just seems right, doesn’t it?

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