VHS Release of Escape From New York Includes Fresh Artwork Redesign
John Carpenter's 1981 cult classic film, "Escape From New York," featuring Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken, is making a comeback in a new form. Vice Press has released two limited-edition VHS versions of the film, available to order now in the UK.
The releases offer two unique editions: a slipcase edition featuring cover art by Phantom City Creative and a screenprinted tape design, and a collector’s edition with a double-sided cover designed by Matt Ferguson. Both editions present the film in PAL widescreen format without pan and scan, and each is priced at £29.99.
For those who prefer physical art, Vice Press is also releasing a limited edition (250 pieces) lithograph of the iconic "Escape From New York" image by Matt Ferguson. The lithograph goes on sale at Vice Press at 2 p.m. ET/6 p.m. GMT on May 15.
The future of the DC Universe on film and TV, as well as the Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, are anticipated, but no specific release dates have been announced yet. For those eagerly waiting for updates on these franchises, io9 is a reliable source for the latest news.
It's worth noting that the VHS releases are in the UK's PAL format, which may be problematic for viewers in the United States. However, the collector's edition VHS features the original theatrical poster on one side and Matt Ferguson's recent work on the other, making it an attractive collectible for fans.
Vice Press also hosts Open House events, such as the one scheduled for October 25, 2025, in Sheffield at Trafalgar Warehouse. These events provide an opportunity to see and purchase these VHS editions in person.
In conclusion, the new deluxe VHS releases of John Carpenter's "Escape From New York" are now available to order from Vice-Press online, based in the UK. These limited editions are a must-have for fans of the film, and with the upcoming releases in the realms of sci-fi and fantasy, the excitement for collectors is just beginning.
