Sam Raimi’s Army of Darkness (1992) on 4k Blu-ray has been pushed back to October 4th, 2022. Previously dated for September 27, Shout! Factory may not have wanted to compete with over twenty 4k Blu-ray titles hitting stores on the 27th including Thor: Love and Thunder, Evil Dead, and a batch of 4k Blu-ray SteelBook reprints such as Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Nevertheless, the two Army of Darkness editions will arrive just a week later than expected. The first is a 4-disc 4k Blu-ray/Blu-ray Combo Pack Collector’s Edition, and the second a 4-disc Limited Edition 4k Blu-ray SteelBook.
The Collector’s Edition is priced $27.99 (List: $39.99) while Limited Edition SteelBook is priced $34.99 (List: $44.99) on Amazon.
Shout! Factory is also selling a Collector’s Edition with Poster and Enamel Pin for $95.99.
