Having just experienced AMC's Dead, White & Blue Weekend, fans of The Walking Dead are hungrier than ever for the fifth season to begin in October. Before that day arrives, however, fans can experience the intense fourth season in a whole new way this August when it hits Blu-ray and DVD. The home media release of Season 4 will see multiple formats, including a limited edition Blu-ray that comes with a key to the prison that Rick and company made their home in.
Slated for an August 26th release, The Walking Dead: The Complete Fourth Season Blu-ray is coming out in two limited edition formats: the Prison Key Blu-ray with a CD soundtrack and the Blu-ray that comes in a “Tree Walker” display case created by McFarlane Toys that depicts the walker stuck under a log and growing over with moss, slowly becoming a part of the tree it's leaning on. The Blu-ray and DVD of Season 4 will also see a Walmart exclusive release that comes with the CD soundtrack, a Target exclusive that comes in a Steelbook, a Best Buy exclusive packaging release, and a generic packaging release. All releases come with five discs and the following special features, which vary in content depending on the version:
