New 4K Scans of Forbidden World and Galaxy of Terror Coming to Home Video

Get ready to return to the Galaxy of Terror and crash-land on a Forbidden World, where monsters lurk and humanity is not necessarily welcome. We are pleased to announce that Shout! Factory is bringing back these classic Roger Corman-produced films in a big way by presenting them with brand-new 4K scans. Check out the official details for each title below, along with the release specs.

For those who have seen this movie, Galaxy of Terror was obviously inspired by Ridley Scott’s Alien, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. The Bruce D. Clark-directed film, which happens to be his last credited work, starred Edward Albert as Cabren, Erin Moran as Alluma, Ray Walston as Kore, Taaffe O’Connell as Dameia, Bernard Behrens (The Changeling) as Commander Ilvar, Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street) as Ranger, and Sig Haig (3 From Hell, The Devil’s Rejects) as Quuhod.

As mentioned above, the official street date for this item is August 13th for North America. The film will receive a brand-new 4K scan and all of the bonus features from the previous Blu-ray release from the retailer will be transferred over.

5,000 units of this steelbook will be produced, but only 1,500 orders will come with the 28.5” x 16.5 rolled lithograph of the new artwork by Laz Marquez, as it appears on the cover.

Galaxy of Terror will knock you down $24.99 plus the cost of shipping. If you’re interested in acquiring this item for your collection, head on over to Shout! Factory today!

Forbidden World (aka Mutant) was directed by Allan Holzman. The film starred Jesse Vint (Chinatown) as Mike Colby, Dawn Dunlap (Night Shift) as Tracy Baxter, June Chadwick (V) as Dr. Barbara Glaser, Linden Chiles (The Green Hornet) as Dr. Gordon Hauser, Fox Harris (Repo Man) as Dr. Cal Timbergen, Ray Oliver (Child’s Play) as Brian Beale, Michael Bowen (Kill Bill: Vol. 1, The Last House on the Left) as Jimmy Swift, and Scott Paulin (Teen Wolf) as Earl Richards.

As mentioned above, the official street date for this item is August 13th for North America. The film will receive a brand-new 4K scan with the Director’s Cut getting a brand-new 2K scan.

5,000 units of this steelbook will be produced, but only 1,500 orders will come with the 28.5” x 16.5 rolled lithograph of the new artwork by Laz Marquez, as it appears on the cover.
