This bundle gets you both 4K Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray versions of the film. You can also pick up a standard Blu-ray or DVD editions, though these aren’t much cheaper. Each version also includes a selection of bonus features that give you a closer look at the film’s development.

While the official release date for this 4K Blu-ray is June 24, Amazon doesn’t have a launch date listed on its store page. We’d expect it to fall in line with the official release, though note that it may arrive at a later date. Expect Amazon to update its listing sometime soon.

The Monkey 4K Blu-ray Bonus Features

A detailed list is yet to be released, but we do know that The Monkey 4K Blu-ray will include bonus features such as featurettes, trailers, and “funeral programs.” These will take you behind the scenes of The Monkey, making them a fun addition for dedicated fans.

The Monkey is a short story written by King in 1980, and it’s collected in Skeleton Crew: Stories--a compilation of numerous short stories by King. A new version of the trade paperback was released earlier this year, and it’s currently on sale for just $16.48 (was $22). The mass market paperback of Skeleton Crew: Stories is up for preorder ahead of its August 26 release. This version is a bit more affordable than the currently available trade paperback.

If you want to add an additional Stephen King film to your home theater, you can preorder The Dead Zone 4K Steelbook ahead of its June 10 release. The steelbook looks absolutely stunning with a design spanning both the front and back of its case--though as an Amazon limited edition, it’s not liable to stick around for long.
