Lionsgate Home Entertainment Bypasses Halloween For Nov. 5 Street Date For Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Lionsgate Home Entertainment is going to bypass the already crowded Halloween promotional season for the home entertainment packaged media launch of director André Øvredal’s film adaptation of the Alvin Schwartz’s series of books, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.   Instead of Oct. 22 or Oct. 29 (street-date Tuesdays), Nov. 5 will be the street date for a three-SKU array of products.

The ARR comes in just 88 days and box office receipts were a nice $65.8 million in the domestic market, which suggests that at least another set of tales could be considered.
Planned for distribution are Combo Pack editions for both the 4K Ultra HD (with Blu-ray) and Blu-ray (with DVD) formats, plus a stand-alone DVD edition.

As to bonus features, all three SKUs will contain the featuettes titled “Dark Tales” and “Retro Horror.”   Exclusive to the 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Combo Packs are four additional featurettes —  “The Bellows Construct,” “Creature from the Shadows,” “Mood Reels” and  “Behind-the-Scenes Trailers: Set Visits.”
