The main draw for fans here is the volume of printed material included in the Universal Essentials Collection release of It Came From Outer Space
4K + 3D. The 34-page booklet contains a host of on-set photos, a wide assortment of print ads and posters, and pictures of promotional activities
from the film's original release in front of theaters and other locations. There is a rather sharp-looking reproduction of a film cell from the movie
encased in a sturdy cardboard frame with a built-in stand. Four promotional art cards reproduce artwork from the film's release and measure
approximately 5.25 x 6.75". They are printed on sturdy card stock with a slick glossy finish. The reversible cover art is a nice touch for those looking to
add a bit of visual variety to the package, and a numbered certificate of authenticity rounds out the extras. All of this material is housed in a sturdy and
attractive chipboard box with art that mimics the primary image of the disc's case.

More casual fans will likely stick with the standard release of this film. However, those who are more ardent fans of science fiction from the 1950s and
of this movie in particular, should not hesitate to pick up a copy of the Universal Essentials Collections of It Came From Outer Space 4K + 3D.
Loaded with meticulously reproduced art and images from the film's original release, a replica film cell, and reversible cover all contained in a beautiful
chipboard box, it's the best and most deluxe release of this classic film.
