While Halloween season is officially over, the world of horror (and sci-fi) marches on with this week’s Blu-ray and DVD releases. November 5th is probably one of our quieter days of home media releases in some time, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t some killer stuff to get excited for. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark arrives on Tuesday on multiple formats, and for those of you who love Galaxy Quest as much as I do, the sci-fi comedy is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a brand new Steelbook as well.

All three entries in Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy are headed to 4K this week—Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End—and for those of you who were unable to keep up with it on Amazon, the Good Omens series hits both Blu and DVD this Tuesday.

Other notable releases for November 5th include Prey (2019), Gothic Harvest, Blood Myth, and Frankenthug.

Galaxy Quest: 20th Anniversary Steelbook (Paramount Home Entertainment, Blu-ray)

Years after cancellation, the stars of the Galaxy Quest television series cling to their careers appearing at sci-fi conventions and electronic store openings. When a distressed interstellar race mistakes the show for “historical documents,” Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen) and his crew of has-beens are unwittingly recruited to save them from a genocidal warlord. Galaxy Quest features an all-star ensemble, including Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell, Daryl Mitchell, Justin Long and Rainn Wilson in this hilarious adventure that boldly goes where no comedy has gone before.

Change is blowing in the wind…but seemingly far removed from the unrest in the cities is the small town of Mill Valley, where for generations the shadow of the Bellows family has loomed large. It is in their mansion on the edge of town that Sarah, a young girl with horrible secrets, turned her tortured life into a series of scary stories, written in a book that has transcended time. For a group of teenagers who discover Sarah’s terrifying home, the stories become all too real in this spine-tingling film.
