‘Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter’ Coming Back Home With a SteelBook Blu-ray Release

Published

on

In the wake of the first three films in the franchise getting a SteelBook release, we’ve learned that Paramount is next bringing Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter to SteelBook Blu-ray.

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter comes to SteelBook Blu-ray on January 10, 2023, following in the wake of solo Steelbooks for the first two movies as well as an 8-film Steelbook set.

Like the previous movies, this new Steelbook release features a pre-existing disc housed inside of new packaging, so there’s nothing new here aside from that Steelbook case.

“This new LMITED EDITION Blu-ray SteelBook celebrates the iconic fourth installment in the Friday the 13th franchise, remastered in 2020 from original film elements.

“Picking up immediately from PART 3, Jason’s killing spree continues despite being presumed dead. As the body count rises upon Jason’s return to Crustal Lake, a young boy named Tommy Jarvis finds himself a potential opponent of the unstoppable killer.”

Lionsgate lets us know in a press release this afternoon, “This gruesome fright flick is only available at Walmart on SteelBook Blu-ray for the suggested retail price of $24.99.”

In Diary of the Dead, Romero continues his influential “Dead” series, this time focusing on a terrified group of college film students who record the pandemic rise of flesh-eating zombies.

Luiz H.C. wrote about the 2008 zombie movie here on Bloody Disgusting a few years back, calling it an underrated movie in Romero’s filmography. Luiz wrote, “Diary of the Dead is far from Romero’s greatest work, but it’s still worth watching after all these years.”

His article continued, “The subtext is still on point, the zombies are still scary and there’s no beating that chilling apocalyptic atmosphere. So, whether you’re a zombie enthusiast, Found Footage fan or just a casual horror hound up for some socially conscious thrills, I wholeheartedly recommend digging this one up. The revolution may not be televised, but if the late, great George A. Romero is to be believed, it might just show up online.”

“And I think that’s a relevant message for these troubling times,” Luiz added.
