Stephen King's MaximumOverdrive, which starred Emilio Estevez, is set to receive a Blu-ray steelbook release from Vestron Video.
Being a horror fan in the 80s meant you were eating well with the height of the slasher genre bringing sequels for icons like Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, and Freddy Kruger. However, another major component of 80s horror were Stephen King adaptations. The iconic horror author hit the ground running in this decade with a handful of horror movies based off his most popular works. This included The Shining, Pet Semetary, Cujo, Children of the Corn, Firestarter, and Christine.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The steelbook features a variant of Vestron's original poster artwork in a wrap around design. The film's most iconic piece of imagery, a demonic truck bearing a Green Goblin mask, is front and center here. The villain of Maximum Overdrive was modeled after the iconic Spider-Man foe years before the comic book character would make their cinematic debut in 2002.
This also isn’t the first edition of the film Vestron Video has released. The Lionsgate owned line has made a name for itself releasing obscure horror gems on Blu-ray, some of which for the first time. This includes the Silent Night, Deadly Night sequels, The Dentist films, and Candyman 3: Day of the Dead. There have been 29 films in the inexpensive line thus far and Maximum Overdrive was number 16 in this boutique label originally.
When Does Maximum Overdrive’s Steelbook Release? Maximum Overdrive’s new steelbook doesn’t have a release date yet, but you can pre-order the edition now on Walmart’s website for $19.96. You can check out the upcoming steelbook release, and watch the film’s original trailer down, below:
