Walmart’s Black Phone 2 Exclusive: Stunning 4K Steelbook Edition Revealed!

This weekend, on October 17th, the highly anticipated sequel “Black Phone 2” hits theaters. For fans eager to own a copy, Walmart is currently taking preorders for a special Steelbook Edition 4K Blu-ray. This edition features a striking steelbook case adorned with an image of Ethan Hawke as the Grabber on the front and a mysterious phone booth on the back. The design uses a misty gray color scheme, which seems to symbolize the terrifying dreams of a key character in the film.

Available exclusively at Walmart, the “Black Phone 2” Limited Edition Steelbook is priced at $44.25. For those looking for other options, the standard 4K Blu-ray is available for preorder at $32.75, while the 1080p Blu-ray version is listed for $30. Additionally, Universal is offering a 2-Movie Collection of “Black Phone,” which includes both the original and the sequel in 4K Blu-ray format, priced at $52.75—saving buyers around $10 compared to purchasing the two movies separately.

Explore “The Black Phone” Original Short Story

The “Black Phone” movie series is adapted from a short story by acclaimed horror writer Joe Hill, known for his work on “Locke & Key” and other titles. The original story appeared in Hill’s debut 2005 collection “20th Century Ghosts.” It’s highly recommended to read the story and other tales from the collection if you haven’t already.
