John Carpenter’s influential action film Escape from New York is one of the most important films of the 1980s. The film not only inspired future filmmakers, but also video games like Metal Gear Solid and the far-reaching cyberpunk novel Neuromancer. Coming soon, a new Steelbook edition of the iconic film will be available, complete with new cover art, and you can pre-order it now on Amazon for $45.
$45-$35
The new release builds on the already impressive Escape from New York Collector’s Edition 4K Blu-ray 2022 with the addition of a beautiful Steelbook box. Additional behind-the-scenes footage from the track explores the creation of the film and its special effects. There’s also a deleted scene and photo gallery – basically everything you wanted to see from Escape from New York.
The new 4K steelbook version of “Escape from New York” will be released on November 5th. Amazon also offers a price match guarantee on pre-orders. If the price does change after you pre-order, Amazon will only charge you the lower amount and you won’t be charged until the order ships.
If the new 4K Steelbook version is too expensive, you can opt for a cheaper option and buy the original Escape from New York Collector’s Edition from Amazon, which contains nearly all the same content but costs less at $26.
Speaking of John Carpenter, you can also pre-order the upcoming Halloween: The Game , which is a pretty cool collector’s edition. RetroRealms’ dual-feature collector’s edition bundles Halloween with another upcoming horror game, Ash vs. The Evil Dead, and comes complete with an 8-inch Michael Myers plush and comes in a VHS-style box. You can pre-order it now at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. Amazon also has 4K Blu-ray versions of other great John Carpenter films. See the list below.
