One of the most requested Shout/Scream Factory titles over the years, for obvious reasons, has been Joe Dante’s The ‘Burbs, and the wait is (soon) finally over.

Shout Factory announced tonight that they’ll be bringing The ‘Burbs to Collector’s Edition Blu-ray on March 20, 2018!

Bonus features have not been announced at this time, but Shout Factory promises that the release will be worth the wait. It’ll be “packed with bonus features,” they say!

Check out the art below.

“Tom Hanks stars in The ‘Burbs, a comedy about a suburbanite whose plans for a peaceful vacation at home are disturbed by a creepy new family on the block. Much to the disappointment of his wife (Carrie Fisher), Ray Peterson (Hanks) and his three neighbors set out to investigate the next-door residence after they begin to observe strange happenings. Set in an average neighborhood that is anything but ordinary, The ‘Burbs blends slapstick comedy and spine-thrilling mystery and is superbly directed by cult filmmaker Joe Dante (Piranha, Gremlins, Matinee, The Howling).”

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.
