10 Of The Best Upcoming 4K And Blu-Ray Horror Releases

Kiri kiri kiri kiri! Takashi Miike's Audition slices up a brand new release from Arrow this summer, restored in DoP-approved 4K UHD from the original Super 16 mm negative, so you can enjoy that eye-watering finale in painfully crisp high-definition. Starring Ryo Ishibashi and Eihi Shiina, Audition's psychologically scarring tale of the rebound relationship from hell has long topped lists of Most Disturbing Movies Of All Time, and for good reason.

Arrow's new release of Audition comes with introduction from Miike, commentary with Miike and writer Daisuke Tengan, commentary with Japanese cinema expert and Miike specialist Tom Mes, archive interviews with the cast, brand new writing and more.

Pre-order Audition here for a June 15 release.

Following their landmark 4K release of Re-Animator, Ignite Films is giving Brian Yuzna's bolder, bloodier sequel Bride of Re-Animator the same treatment. The 1990 comedy-horror returns to the brilliant and unhinged Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) who resumes his forbidden experiments, dragging a reluctant Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) into his most audacious creation yet.

Ignite Films' Yuzna-approved restoration release comes with special features including Till Death Do Us Part: Making Bride of Re-Animator a newly-produced 60-minute documentary, a hardcover book featuring new interviews with Yuzna and stars, audio commentaries, archive featurettes and more. The Ultimate Limited Edition Box Set also features a Finger Creature collectible, which doubles as a desk top phone holder.

Season 2 of Patrick Brice and Mark Duplass' cult found-footage series The Creep Tapes saw our favorite wolf-masked weirdo get even creepier than ever before. Guest stars like David Dastmalchian, Katie Aselton, Diego Josef, Taylor Garron, Timm Sharp and more all met their match in Peachfuzz, the world's deadliest and most socially uncomfortable serial killer.

With Season 3 of The Creep Tapes on the horizon, there's no better time to get caught up on the Peachfuzz lore (which is getting more bizarre by the episode) by grabbing the new Season 2 Blu-ray release.

A 4K release of George A. Romero's Day of the Dead has been a long time coming – it's been 12 years since the studio's official Blu-ray release, and for a while it seemed as if the original negative of the film was lost to time forever. But thanks to Scream Factory and Shout Studios efforts, Romero's rotters will soon be resurrected in glorious high-definition, with the care and craftsmanship it has long deserved.

The new 4K release of Day of the Dead comes with a new commentary with author and Romero expert Daniel Kraus and critic Drew McWeeny, archive commentary with Romero and artist Tom Savini, interviews with stars Lori Cardille, John Amplas and more, new interview with Romero's daughter and Queens of the Dead director Tina Romero, and much more.
