One of Stephen King’s most haunting horror movies is getting a new release, with a bunch of great new features.

When it comes to horror, there’s no one quite like Stephen King. From the psychological terror of Misery, to the supernatural powers of Carrie, King has managed to combine haunting emotion with the equally as haunting horror elements.

And when it comes to his most depressing feature, many would claim that as being The Mist, the 2007 creature feature based on one of King’s short stories. From filmmaker Frank Darabont, the film’s tone and ending twist has made it one of the best and most memorable adaptation of the author’s library.

And now The Mist is being re-released in 4K, with plenty of extra features to keep you both spooked and depressed. Read on to find out more.

When is Stephen King’s The Mist coming out in 4K and Blu-ray?
