The Original Mini-Series Of ‘Stephen King’s The Stand’ Finally Getting A Much Deserved Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Release

The Mick Garris directed adaptation of Stephen King’s iconic novel The Stand is finally going to get the love it deserves when a Collector’s Edition Blu-ray makes it way to us all on Sept. 24th.

Don’t have any news on extras but – we do have this kick ass new cover art – I’m seriously digging this!

In case you’ve lived in a cave since birth – here’s the story outline:

The Stand is a post-apocalyptic horror/fantasy novel by American author Stephen King. It expands upon the scenario of his earlier short story “Night Surf” and presents a detailed vision of the total breakdown of society after the accidental release of a strain of influenza that had been modified for biological warfare causes an apocalyptic pandemic, killing off over 99% of the world’s population.

When the news drops on special features – I’ll get this post updated and make sure you know what all is coming our way – this is a biggie for us King fans. Can’t wait for this one!
