After they bring John Carpenter's They Live to 4K Ultra HD this December, the Scream Factory team will release another Carpenter classic, Prince of Darkness, on 4K Ultra HD on January 19th.
Like the upcoming They Live release, the Prince of Darkness 4K Ultra HD / Blu-ray will include the special features from Scream Factory's previous Blu-ray release of the film, and there's a website-only exclusive version that comes with a Sacred Bones record featuring John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter, and Daniel Davies playing music from Prince of Darkness.
Below, we have the official press release with more details, as well as a look at the cover art for the 4K Ultra HD and vinyl:

Starring Donald Pleasence (Halloween), Jameson Parker (Simon & Simon), Lisa Blount (Needful Things), rock icon Alice Cooper, Victor Wong and Dennis Dun (both from Carpenter’s Big Trouble In Little China), Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness is about a terrifying battle between mankind and the ultimate evil.
