Is this the first time a Steelbook has a Slipcover?

I have the La La Land and Ran steelbooks and they have a slip. I'm pretty sure I've seen others.

There's also a release of the original Mothra in a steelbook with a slipcover.

All of Mill Creek's Ultraman (and company) steelbooks come in a transparent slip as well. There was something similar for Lionsgate's Ghost in the Shell.

Off the top of my head, Synapse's The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue had a more traditional slipcover with its steelbook too.

Lots of SleelBooks have had slipcovers. In addition to those mentioned, I've got the following on my shelf:

The Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 Collection (4K)
Ran (4k)
Sleeping Beauty
Snow White

There were also Game of Thrones releases that came with a SteelBook and a sigil magnet inside an oversized clear slip.

I guess I haven’t been buying a lot of physical media recently since it’s the first time I noticed.

Awesome

More Universal horror on UHD is a great thing. I've held off on buying Volume 1 to see what future releases there might be. Maybe they will avoid all of them overlap this time.

Vol 1 was great, especially having the Spanish version of Dracula in 4k.

To Kill a Mockingbird 4K 60th Anniversary Edition is up on GRUV for $19.99. It's releasing 10/11/2022 https://www.gruv.com/product/to_kill...ersary_blu_ray

I rarely buy discs on release date, but if you can get To Kill A Mockingbird with 20% off at GRUV. I'm buying it. Edited to add: I preordered it. It was $17.55 with Tennessee Sales Tax. That's a great price for a brand new 4K release.

Grindhouse Releasing Brings Fulci’s ‘The Beyond’ to 4K Plus a New ‘Composer’s Cut’ Coming This Fall

Composer's cut?

That's a new one.

It's similar to what Grindhouse did with The Evil Dead, which also got a theatrical re-release with a new score by Joe DeLuca.
