To celebrate two decades of the beloved horror comedy, Edgar Wright and co. are releasing a brand-new 4K remaster of the film, with new bonus materials to boot. It’ll be available in a regular 4K UHD Blu-ray version (Amazon) and a limited-edition steelbook version (Walmart), both set to release on December 3. They’re available for preorder now, so read on for details.

For those who haven’t seen it, Shaun of the Dead is a horror comedy about a pair of schlubby friends (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) who find themselves in the center of a quickly escalating zombie apocalypse. They decide it’s up to them to save their friends and family, and off they go on a quest to fight off the undead. Check out our Shaun of the Dead review to see what our critic thought about it when it originally came out.
