Lionsgate Releasing 5 Horror SteelBooks Exclusively at Walmart

Can you still call yourself a cinephile if you never heard of a SteelBook before? I had no idea what that was until I learned that Lionsgate is releasing five horror SteelBooks. The Walmart exclusives will arrive on September 12 but are already available for pre-order. (Non-affiliate links are included below, and they include a discount!)

But first, let’s talk about SteelBooks. If you’re like me and don’t know what they are, here’s how Shout! Factory described them:

A SteelBook is a special release of a 4K UHD, Blu-ray, DVD, or video game in a collectible steel case as opposed to the standard plastic. A genuine SteelBook is a premium metal case manufactured by Scanavo™. 

They went on to say that there’s a special focus placed on the artwork. They explained, “SteelBooks provide a better canvas for displaying fantastic art because it can incorporate the spine and back as one cohesive visual.”

In the case of the horror SteelBooks from Lionsgate, the artwork was created by the artist Bond.

And as far as the featured titles, there’s one for SAW. (Perfect timing considering SAW X comes out September 29). It includes SAWs 1-8.

The other titles are Leprechaun 1-8, Rob Zombie Triple Feature (House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects, and 3 from Hell), Rob Zombie’s Halloween I & II Double Feature, and Blair Witch Project Double Feature.

Horror SteelBooks Synopsis

Here’s the official description from Lionsgate:
