Jim Henson's Best Dark Fantasy Films Are Getting Limited-Edition 4K Blu-Rays

As a child of the ’80s, I can’t help but feel a wave of nostalgia as I gaze upon these beautifully restored editions of Jim Henson’s masterpieces, The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. These films were a significant part of my formative years, filling my dreams with fantastical creatures and enchanting worlds that seemed to exist only in my imagination.


In the ’80s, movie makers had a unique opportunity to create fantastical, yet frightening movies that would intrigue children. One such creator was Jim Henson, known for The Muppets, who delved into this territory with films like The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. If you’re keen on revisiting these captivating yet peculiar classics, Walmart is now accepting pre-orders for limited-edition 4K Blu-ray versions of both movies. The releases for The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth are scheduled for November 19th, with each one priced at $29

Previously, these movies were released as 4K Blu-ray versions, but what makes Walmart unique is their presentation of these films inside stylish steelbook cases. The steelbook cover for “The Dark Crystal” showcases a stunning illustration highlighting one of the significant locations in the film

Over time, these two films have been further explored in novels and comics. If you’re interested in diving deeper into their universe, Amazon currently offers attractive deals. The collection encompasses prequels, sequels, and additional content, along with a comprehensive guide to the Labyrinth world and Tarot card decks inspired by both movies
