Carrie Gets 4K Blu-ray Steelbook From Scream Factory In December

Carrie, the original 1976 classic starring Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie, is coming to 4K this December. Scream Factory is handling the release, which will come housed in brand-new Steelbook packaging. Both of the leads were nominated for Academy Awards for their performances, a rarity for horror, and the legacy of the film has endured for decades. This release will feature three discs, one of which will include a new 4K transfer of the film and a new commentary with Joe Aisenberg, author of Studies in the Horror Film: Carrie. A regular, non-Steelbook release will also be out. Check out the Steelbook and complete features list below. There will also be pin sets and posters available as well.

Carrie 4K Blu-ray Steelbook Release Details

"Based on the best-selling Stephen King novel, Carrie, an "absolutely spellbinding horror movie" (Roger Ebert), stars Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie. This ultimate revenge fantasy has become one of the all-time great horror classics and earned two Oscar®-nominations in 1976: Best Actress in a Leading Role (Spacek) and Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Laurie). At the center of the terror is Carrie (Spacek), a high school loner with no confidence, no friends … and no idea about the extent of her secret powers of telekinesis. But when her psychotic mother and sadistic classmates finally go too far, the once-shy teen becomes an unrestrained, vengeance-seeking powerhouse who, with the help of her "special gift," causes all hell to break loose in a famed cinematic frenzy of blood, fire, and brimstone! This classic also stars John Travolta (Blow Out), Amy Irving (The Fury), William Katt (House), and P.J. Soles (Halloween). Carrie (1976) (Collector's Edition) (4K UHD) will also be available in a bundle, along with other collectible items. Carrie [Limited Edition SteelBook™} will also be released on December 13."
