Amazon’s Very Good 4K UHD Blu-Ray Sale Is Back, But This Time Filled With Horror And Spooky Movies
October is finally here, and Amazon knows exactly what kind of movies belong on shelves this month. The retailer is running a limited-time sale on horror and spooky 4K UHD Blu-rays, and the deal is simple: two movies for $25. Deals guru Wario64 spotted the sale, which launched today and runs while supplies last.
What The Deal Actually Costs
The sale works like Amazon’s past UHD promotions, but with a smaller number. Instead of three movies for $33, you now pick two for $25. The catch is that some titles will likely sell out, as has happened in past UHD sales on the platform.
The Full List Of Spooky Picks
The selection covers classic horror, modern scares, and a few surprises that barely qualify as spooky at all. Here is a taste of what is on offer:
- Sinners
- The Shining
- Nosferatu
- Weapons
- The Thing
- Jaws
- Van Helsing
- It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
- The Lost Boys
- Beetlejuice
- Evil Dead Rise
- A Nightmare On Elm Street
- Nope
- Get Out
- Us
- The Birds
- Doctor Sleep
- Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills, Halloween Ends
- The Exorcist
- Blade
- Megan
- Final Destination: Bloodlines
- The Invisible Man (2020)
- The Purge
Why The Sale Works
The timing is obvious. A $25 threshold is low enough that a couple of discs can slip into a cart almost without thinking. The deal is also limited-time, which means checking the page before buying is a safer move.
What You Need To Watch Them
Before you buy, the sale comes with a small hardware note. A UHD player is required, and both the PS5 and Xbox Series X work if they have disc slots and the correct HDMI cable. A 4K TV is also necessary, though that is a separate purchase from the sale itself.
Why This Sale Is Worth Paying Attention To
The selection is wide enough that nearly every horror fan can find something. Classic titles sit alongside modern hits, and the $25 price point is low enough that a second or third pair could easily fill out a collection without breaking the bank.
The warning about sellouts applies to every title on the list. Checking the page before buying is the safer move.
“Donât wait too long to buy anything from this sale, as some movies will likely sell out.”
That warning from the sale announcement is worth taking seriously. Past UHD sales on Amazon have seen titles disappear fast, and this one carries the same risk.
The Bottom Line
The sale is a solid one, even if it is not the deepest Amazon has run. The selection is strong, the price is low, and the warning about sellouts applies to every title on the list. Just remember to check before the sale ends, because some titles will likely sell out.
