Alien: Romulus is getting a VHS release


Celebrating 45 years since Alien first (chest) burst into theaters.

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. 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.
