“The Walking Dead” Season 8 Heads Home to DVD and Blu-ray in August
With a sure to be game-changing Season 9 on the horizon for this coming Fall, we’ve just gotten word that the complete eighth season of “The Walking Dead” is headed home on August 21. The official Skybound website details the release…
“As always, fans will have a few options to choose from in the type of Blu-Ray/DVD package they want. Most retailers like Amazon and Target will sell it with a cover featuring Rick, Daryl, and Michonne. But if they purchase at Best Buy, they’ll get a unique cover featuring just Rick and Negan battling one-on-one, similar to their final battle in the Season 8 Finale.”
No word yet on bonus features, but Greg Nicotero had recently noted that several scenes cut out of the Season 8 finale will likely be included in the package.
Season 8 focused primarily on the All Out War, the brutal comic-inspired battle between Rick and his allied communities and Negan and The Saviors.
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.
