Alien: Romulus will get a limited-edition VHS release

It’s time to dust off your VCR and clean the heads, because Alien: Romulus is coming to VHS as a limited edition on December 3rd alongside the other physical releases, director Fede Alvarez announced during “a special Beyond Fest-partnered screening” in Los Angeles yesterday.

The “fully functioning VHS tape” is meant to celebrate 45 years since the Alien franchise first (chest) burst into theaters, 20th Century Studios wrote in a release emailed to The Verge. It’ll present the movie, appropriately, in a 4:3 aspect ratio (hopefully without pan-and-scan). It also comes in a slick, vintage-style sleeve.

The art for the box comes from Matt Furgeson, whose other work you can see on his website. He posted a wider version of the same image as a poster, which I now desperately want on my wall, a few weeks ago. I’ve embedded that below for your viewing pleasure.

20th Century Studios hasn’t said how many copies of the tape will be available, nor has it provided pricing for the collectible. If you don’t want to wait for the VHS or the other physical releases, though, you can already buy a digital license for Alien: Romulus on a streaming storefront near you.
