5 Must-Have Horror Releases Coming to Physical Media in September 2025
Streaming may be convenient, but physical media is forever.
Here are five upcoming horror releases you don’t want to miss this month.
Clown in a Cornfield – September 9
Clown in a Cornfield will be released on SteelBook 4K UHD + Blu-ray on September 9 via RLJE Films, exclusively through Amazon. It comes with a set of magnets that stick to the SteelBook.
Based on Adam Cesare‘s 2020 novel of the same name, Eli Craig (Tucker and Dale vs Evil) directs from a script he co-wrote with Carter Blanchard.
Special features:
- Audio Commentary with Director Eli Craig, Author Adam Cesare, and Actors Katie Douglas and Carson MacCormac
Quinn and her father have just moved to the quiet town of Kettle Springs hoping for a fresh start. Instead, she discovers a fractured community that has fallen on hard times after the treasured Baypen Corn Syrup Factory burned down.
As the locals bicker amongst themselves and tensions boil over, a sinister, grinning figure emerges from the cornfields to cleanse the town of its burdens, one bloody victim at a time. Welcome to Kettle Springs. The real fun starts when Frendo the clown comes out to play.
Katie Douglas (“Ginny & Georgia”), Carson MacCormac (Shazam), Aaron Abrams (“Hannibal”), Will Sasso (“Mad TV”), and Kevin Durand (Abigail) star.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “What begins as a straightforward slasher deftly shifts gears, tackling heady topics with infectious snark and bloodletting. It’s a rare film that speaks directly to its teen audience while refusing to water down the horror; Clown in a Cornfield knows its demographic is resilient enough to handle the terror just fine.”
Halloween will be released on SteelBook 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray on September 16 via Scream Factory, exclusively through Amazon.
The 1978 genre-defining classic is directed by master of horror John Carpenter, who co-wrote the script with producer Debra Hill.

28 Years Later will be released on SteelBook 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray on September 23 via Sony.
Director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland reunite for the long-awaited third installment in the post-apocalyptic horror franchise, which launched in 2002 with 28 Days Later and continued with 2007’s 28 Weeks Later.
Special features:
- Days to Years
- Capturing the Chaos
- The Survivors
- Becoming the Infected
- Behind the Cameras
It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected.
One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.
Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, and Ralph Fiennes star.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “Boyle and Garland once again introduce characters we want to spend more time with, even when they break our hearts. This riveting blend of horror and heart also reminds that death, horror’s favorite equalizer, can be as beautiful as it can be cruel.”
