“The Outer Limits” Complete Original Series Coming to Blu-ray!
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture.
Stephen King once described “The Outer Limits” as being “the best program of its type ever to run on network TV,” and he’s surely not the only one who feels that way about the sci-fi anthology series. Inspired by “The Twilight Zone,” the Leslie Stevens-created series aired on ABC from 1963 to 1965, with a total of 49 episodes across two seasons.
The original series, which paved way for a revival many years later, has to date never been released onto Blu-ray… but that’s about to change!
We’ve just learned via Blu-ray.com that Kino Lorber will soon be releasing “The Outer Limits”: The Complete Original Series on Blu-ray. The site notes that the collection will actually be grouped into two individual sets, with Season 1 (32 Episodes – 8 Discs) expected to arrive later this year and Season 2 (17 Episodes – 5 Discs) planned for early 2018.
Misused inventions, interplanetary communication, and warped time peculiarities permeate the 1960s science fiction anthology program The Outer Limits. Created by Leslie Stevens, the program gained a rabid cult following and influenced a myriad of sci-fi that would follow, including a second Outer Limits series in the 1990s. This is the complete collection of all episodes of the original series.
The two box sets will be sourced from brand new HD masters.
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.
