John Carpenter characterized the 1980s. With horror classics such as The Thing, Prince of Darkness, and Christine,
filmmaker dominated the genre world. While horror helped him become a national name,
the director also created some of the most creative action thrillers of all time. Kurt Russell's 1981 film Escape From New York serves as a perfect example.
Snake Plissken returns this fall with a new 4K steelbook from Scream Factory.
Escape From New York's latest Scream Factory release is a 4K/Blu-ray combo pack steelbook, which will be available on November 5, 2024.
While this popular boutique label already published this film in 4K with a Collector's Edition slipcover in 2022, this steelbook contains striking new graffiti-style artwork inspired by the demolished Statue of Liberty from this action masterpiece.
That is one of the film's most iconic images. If you pre-order this edition from Scream Factory's website,
This steelbook will include the same special features as the previous release. It will cost Carpenter fans $39.99 USD.
This action thriller is set in the distant future of 1997, after a war between the United States and the Soviet Union breaks out. As a result, New York City is become a maximum-security prison.
The race is on to save the President before he becomes the next victim of this horrible hellscape. Along with Russell and Pleasence, the picture has an all-star ensemble cast.
