Blue Underground: Deathdream 4K Blu-ray Release Pushed Back to 2024

Blue Underground has announced via social media that its upcoming 4K Blu-ray release of Bob Clark's Deathdream has been delayed because of issues with the ongoing 4K restoration of the film. The 4K Blu-ray release is now expected to arrive on the market in early 2024.

Included below is a brand new cover art that was supplied by the label.

Synopsis: In this shattering variation on "The Monkey's Paw," grief-stricken suburban parents (Academy Award® nominees John Marley of The Godfather and Lynn Carlin of Faces) refuse to accept the news that their son Andy (Richard Backus) has been killed in Vietnam. But when Andy returns home soon after, something may be horribly wrong: Andy is alive and well… or is he? Produced and directed by Bob Clark (Black Christmas) and written by Alan Ormsby (Deranged), Deathdream was one of the very first films to confront the domestic ravages of the Vietnam War. More than forty years later, it remains one of the most chilling horror films of all time.

Deathdream was released under several different titles, including Dead of Night, The Night Walk and The Night Andy Came Home, and marked the grisly debut of gore effects legend Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead).
