Although director David Gordon Green’s Halloween – the most successful slasher film in the history of cinema (having just crossed $229 million at the global box office) may still be in theaters, it appears that Universal Pictures have made ready the film’s release on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K for early 2019.

We noticed last week that pre-order listings for the film (which originally included a January 15th, 2019 release date, which we predict it will continue to be) appeared on Best Buy, one for a Blu-ray Steelbook version available for $32.99 – click here, and one for a standard Blu-ray with digital copy, priced at $22.99 – click here. You can check out the box art for both below (with more details to come as we get them).

No word yet on what the extras are, but here’s to hoping that they’ll include the original ending and the first act shower scene (moments of which can be seen in the film’s marketing materials).
