This week we spotlight one of the most exciting releases of the year with the 4K UHD Blu-Ray debut of the Val Lewton double feature I Walked With A Zombie and The Seventh Victim courtesy of The Criterion Collection. This new release features both films newly restored from the Original Camera Negatives in SDR with commentary tracks, podcast excerpts, a visual essay, an archival documentary and more. Vintage horror fans will also celebrate the 4K UHD Blu-Ray release of the silent-era classic The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. This release stems from a 4K restoration in SDR with multiple score options, a commentary track, a documentary, and more.

We also shine a spotlight on multiple television box sets from Warner Bros. on Blu-Ray and DVD.
