“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?
Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
