Stephen King’s Graveyard Shift on 4K Blu-ray
$31.49 (was $45) | Releases February 25
The 4K edition also comes with the standard Blu-ray disc, the film’s bonus features are spread across both discs. If you don’t need the 4K format, the film is also available as a standard Blu-ray.
Graveyard Shift, the short story, originally appeared in Cavalier Magazine in 1970 before being included in King’s excellent story collection, Night Shift, in 1978. Set in a small town in Maine, it focuses on an abandoned textile mill that has just reopened. However, it’s quickly plagued by a series of mysterious deaths, with workers being killed in the middle of the night.
The story and adaptation employ similar themes and plot devices as other King tales from that time. The workers discover a haunting subterranean system of tunnels underneath the factory–and what lurks inside could be the culprit for their coworkers’ deaths.
If you’re interested in reading the short story first, you can pick up a trade paperback copy of Night Shift for $10.49 (was $18).
