"VICE SQUAD" MAKES ITS BLU-RAY DEBUT, WHILE TWO ROGER CORMAN CLASSICS GET NEW 4K TRANSFERS AND COLLECTIBLE STEELBOOK PACKAGING!
The worst part of being a collector of physical media is that there is always a better version of something you already own just around the corner. Case in point, Scream Factory's two latest Limited Edition Steelbook offerings of FORBIDDEN WORLD and GALAXY OF TERROR.
While some previous Scream steelbooks have included some new extras, these discs only offer up new 4K scans (2K in the case of FORBIDDEN WORLD'S Director's Cut!) of the films. If you're not in the mood to upgrade from what you already have, Scream Factory also dropped VICE SQUAD onto Blu-ray today with a new 4K restoration and tons of new extras!
