'Rosemary's Baby' - Is Paramount's 'Apartment 7A' a Secret Remake?! [Exclusive]

The latest horror classic to make the jump to 4K Ultra HD is 1968’s Rosemary’s Baby, which Paramount is bringing to 4K Ultra HD just in time for Halloween this year.

Rosemary’s Baby debuts on 4K Ultra HD on October 10, 2023.

The release celebrates the 55th anniversary of the Oscar-winning horror movie, and the fresh new 4K Ultra HD package also includes a Blu-ray as well as a Digital Code.

Rosemary’s Baby also gets new artwork for the 4K release, seen below.

“This adaptation of Ira Levin’s best-selling novel is the story of a loving young New York City couple who are expecting their first child. Like most first-time mothers, Rosemary (Mia Farrow) experiences confusion and fear. Her husband (John Cassavetes), an ambitious but unsuccessful actor, makes a pact with the devil that promises to send his career skyward.

“Director Roman Polanski elicits uniformly extraordinary performance from the all-star cast. Ruth Gordon won an Oscar® for her performance as an oversolicitous next-door neighbor in this classic chiller,” the official product description continues.

“Horror director William Castle, known for creating theatrical gimmicks around his films, purchased the rights to Ira Levin’s 1967 novel with the hopes of being taken more seriously as a director. Instead, the studio pushed him into a producer role, opting for newcomer Roman Polanski to helm the adaptation,” Meagan Navarro explained in her BD article celebrating the best horror movies of the 1960s. “The result is one of the best horror movies of all time. Mia Farrow gives an all-time best performance as Rosemary Woodhouse, the poor housewife unwittingly raped and impregnated by the Devil himself thanks to a selfish, ambitious husband. The psychological horror that ensues, spiraling into full-blown paranoia, remains timeless.”

‘Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story’ Slashes into VHS from Lunchmeat!

ollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story

The SCREAMBOX Original documentary Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story is now streaming on SCREAMBOX, and it’s next coming to VHS!

A limited edition of only 50 copies worldwide, the VHS copies of the Englund documentary will go up for grabs on Saturday, April 27 at 12pm EST on Lunchmeat’s official website.

Josh Schafer of Lunchmeat explains, “With so many of Englund’s works being seen and familiarized on videotape, it only felt right to offer fans and collectors the opportunity to experience this fantastic doc on VHS. We all know the Freddy movies just feel different on videocassette, and we wanted to bring that feel to this film for those who want it.”

“Since first donning a tattered fedora and a glove of eviscerating blades in 1984, Robert Englund has become a beloved horror icon. His portrayal of Freddy Krueger is without doubt a moment as visceral to the horror genre as Chaney’s werewolf or Karloff’s groundbreaking realization of Frankenstein’s monster. However, few realize the depths of Englund’s true power as a character actor away from the latex mask and iconic red and green sweater.

“A classically trained actor and director, Robert Englund has become one of the most revolutionary horror icons of our generation.. This unique and intimate portrait captures the man behind the glove and features interviews with Englund and his wife Nancy, Lin Shaye, Eli Roth, Tony Todd, Heather Langenkamp, and more.

“This is the quintessential documentary on the man who didn’t just bring Freddy Krueger to horrific and historic life on-screen and beyond, but has created a fantastic career as an elite actor and entertainer.”

Selling for $30, the VHS is presented in native widescreen format & duplicated in NTSC, housed in full-color slipcase and pressed on black videocassettes with silver foil face and side labels.

The VHS release is presented in partnership with Cineverse, Bloody Disgusting, and Screambox, in association with Dead Mouse Productions and Cult Screenings U.K.
