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

If you like your horror bleak and brutal then you're almost certainly already hyped for Arrow's upcoming release of Calvaire Fabrice Du Welz' 2004 New French Extremity nightmare Calvaire (also known as The Ordeal), which stars Laurent Lucas (Raw) as Marc, a singer who finds himself stranded in a backwoods village after his van breaks down. The villagers, as you might expect, are a little more than curious about their new guest.

Arrow's release of Calvaire comes with archive audio commentaries from Du Welz, a new audio commentary from friends of Fango Harmony and BJ Colangelo, brand new appreciation by film scholar Willow Catelyn Maclay, casting tapes, new essays and more. A release that's for the faint-hearted, but very much worth it.

Pre-order Calvaire for a March 2 release here.

Another release for those who like their horror to hit hard, Umbrella Entertainment's stacked new edition of rape revenge classics I Spit On Your Grave and I Spit On Your Grave: Deja Vu gives the controversial genre the analysis and appreciation it deserves.

A landmark in cinematic vengeance, Mier Zarchi’s I Spit on Your Grave remains one of the most unflinching films ever unleashed a raw scream of rage that redefined the boundaries of horror and exploitation cinema. Umbrella's new Collector's Edition comes with a ton of extras including video essays, commentaries (one from The Last Drive-In‘s Joe Bob Briggs), interviews, deleted scenes, A3 reversible poster and more.

Pre-order the Day of the Woman Collector's Edition right here for a March 4 release.

Maurice Tourneur's The Devil's Hand stands with Diabolique and Eyes Without a Face as one of the finest horror films ever produced in France, and one of the earlier ones too, as the Faustian frightener was produced under German occupation at the height of World War II.

Guests staying at an isolated mountain inn, cut off from the outside world by an avalanche, are astounded by the sudden arrival of Roland Brissot (Pierre Fresnay), a mysterious man with a prosthetic hand that supposedly bestows good fortune upon its owner. We all know that never ends well. Eureka's new release of The Devil's Hand comes with new video essay, commentary, and limited edition collector's booklet with new writing.

Pre-order The Devil's Hand here for a March 16 release.

If you're brave enough to watch the original Faces of Death before the upcoming remake (and before our upcoming too-terrifying for socials cover of FANGORIA Issue 31 drops this spring), Dark Sky Films is giving the 1978 faux-snuff cult classic that SteelBook treatment featuring that iconic cover.

John Alan Schwartz's mondo horror contained footage showing different gruesome ways of dying from a variety of sources, including parachute jumps, snake bites and more horrific scenes. While many of these were faked for the film, Faces of Death also included pre-existing video footage of real deaths and the gory, grisly aftermath. Understandably, the pic was banned and censored in many countries following its release. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Pre-order Faces of Death for a March 5 release right here.

Long before Coralie Fargeat's The Substance, Mika Ninagawa's 2012 girly-pop masterpiece Helter Skelter was skewering beauty standards with satirical and winceworthy body horror. The Japanese thriller follows LiLiCo (Erika Sawajiri), a beautiful model and television personality, who seems to have it all until a long-buried secret threatens her career. She descends into a world of nightmares as she desperately tries to retain her perfect image.

88 Films' long-awaited release of Helter Skelter comes with absolutely stunning new artwork from Luke Insect (seriously, LOOK at that cover) which perfectly captures Ninagawa's eclectically stylish vibe. Special features also include new commentary, new writing, interviews and behind the scenes footage.

Pre-order Helter Skelter here for a March 23 release.

Paul Feig's Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried-starring domestic nightmare The Housemaid was a big box office hit earlier this year, and has already scared up a sequel.

The R-rated erotic thriller saw Sweeney play Millie, a struggling woman who is relieved to get a fresh start as a housemaid to Nina (Seyfried) and Andrew (Drop's Brandon Sklenar), an upscale, wealthy couple. She soon learns that the family’s secrets are far more dangerous than her own.

Pre-order The Housemaid for a March 17 release here.

It wouldn't be St. Patrick's Day without Leprechaun, would it? In the horror film that launched an eight-movie franchise, Warwick Davis stars in an iconic role as the titular terrifying fairy, who goes on a vengeful rampage after his precious bag of gold coins is stolen. Using his magical powers to trick, terrorize, and kill anyone unlucky enough to hinder his relentless search, the Leprechaun also sets his sights on Tory (Jennifer Aniston, in her first feature role) as she scrambles to find the only weapon known to kill this ancient monster.

Lionsgate's new Leprechaun SteelBook 4K release comes with behind-the-scenes footage and more. But if you prefer your Leprechaun a little more lo-fi, Lionsgate is also releasing a be-kind-rewind VHS edition, too.

Pre-order Leprechaun for a March 17 release right here.

New Wave Video is a relatively new label on the scene specializing in bringing hidden Japanese gems to horror fans – and with this release of the delightfully obscure Nighty Night, they're already proving themselves to be one to watch. Hirohisa Kokusho's 8mm anthology was long thought unavailable in any legitimate format, and New Wave Video's new release of Nighty Night was restored from the only surviving video master as the original is sadly lost to time.

Extras on the release include Kokusho's short The Small Pebble, a 40-page deep dive behind-the-scenes booklet, new featurette and more. If you're interested at all in movie preservation and cult Asian cinema, Nighty Night is worth checking out.

Pre-order Nighty Night here for release later this month.

Ghosts, ghouls and goblins are scary ‘n all, but the real horrors of this world lurk in the mountains, and are often as adorable as they are deadly. Even dog lovers don't want to come face to face with wolves, as Vinegar Syndrome and Shudder's new release of Out Come the Wolves will prove to you.

From director Adam MacDonald, who also brought us the deadly bear flick Backcountry, which has become an essential entry in the broader canon of bear horror movies, Out Come the Wolves takes us to at a remote cabin deep in the wilderness, where a weekend of hunting turns to mayhem and a fight for survival when a pack of wolves attack a man, his female best friend, and her fiance. Special features on Shudder's new release include audio commentary with MacDonald, storyboards and more.

Pre-order Out Come the Wolves here for release this month.

Back in 1979, Tobe Hooper scarred a generation with his adaptation of  Stephen King’s classic tale of vampiric small town terror. The Salem's Lot mini-series introduced the world to one of the most terrifying bloodsuckers of all time in the Nosferatu-like Mr Barlow, and made everyone who's seen it since afraid to look out of their window in the middle of the night lest they be met with a floating little boy.

Arrow's new release of Salem's Lot includes both the theatrical and original TV mini-series version, and comes with a truckload of extras and special features, including a collector's booklet with new writing, a double-sided foldout poster, archive audio commentary from Hooper, brand new audio commentary by film critics Bill Ackerman and Amanda Reyes, and film critic Chris Alexander, a new interview with filmmaker Mick Garris, and much more.

Pre-order Salem's Lot here for a March 30 release.
