Front slipcase of Don't Be Afraid of the Dark [4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray] | peakbooks.shop
Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark 4K Ultra HD presents one of the most celebrated made-for-television horror films of the 1970s in its long-awaited 4K UHD debut. When Sally inherits a Victorian mansion and uncovers a sealed fireplace hidden within the house, she unwittingly releases malevolent creatures that slowly erode her sanity. Dismissed by those around her as unstable and attention-seeking, Sally descends into terror as the truth behind the house’s dark history begins to surface. Directed with relentless atmosphere by John Newland, the film builds dread through forced-perspective creature effects, claustrophobic framing, and an overwhelming sense of doom.
 
A landmark Movie of the Week telefilm that inspired generations of horror fans and filmmakers, including Guillermo del Toro, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark stands as a defining example of small-screen horror done right. Released as the debut title from Iconoscope, Vinegar Syndrome’s television-focused sub-label, this edition features a brand new 4K restoration from the original camera negative. The set includes deluxe packaging with a spot gloss and embossed hard slipcase and slipcover combo designed by Wes Benscoter, strictly limited to 6,000 units.
