Arrow Video’s March 2026 Line-Up Is Led by Salem’s Lot — and It’s a Horror Fan’s Dream
Arrow Video has officially announced its March 2026 releases, and for horror fans, there’s one title that immediately rises from the grave and sinks its teeth in first.
Tobe Hooper’s Salem’s Lot is coming to Limited Edition 4K UHD, finally giving Stephen King’s vampire mini-series the lavish physical media treatment it has long deserved. And while Arrow’s March slate is packed with action, cult oddities, and genre landmarks, Salem’s Lot is the beating undead heart of the month.
Let’s start where the horror lives.
Salem’s Lot (1979) — Limited Edition 4K UHD | 30th March
From Tobe Hooper, director of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Poltergeist, comes the television event that traumatised an entire generation of late-night viewers.
Based on Stephen King’s landmark novel, Salem’s Lot transforms the quiet American town into a feeding ground for ancient evil. Author Ben Mears (David Soul) returns home only to discover that the town is dying — one drained corpse at a time — following the arrival of antiques dealer Richard Straker (James Mason) and his unseen partner, the monstrous Kurt Barlow (Reggie Nalder).
Arrow’s release is stacked:
- Brand new 4K restorations of
- the original two-part mini-series
- the shorter international theatrical cut
- Two-disc Limited Edition
- Reversible sleeve with two artwork options
- Perfect-bound collector’s booklet
- Salem’s Lot town sign sticker
- Double-sided foldout poster
This isn’t just a nostalgia release — it’s a restoration of one of the most influential vampire adaptations ever put on screen. For horror fans, this is the crown jewel of Arrow’s March line-up.
Calvaire (2004) — Limited Edition Blu-ray | 2nd March
Arrow keeps the dread flowing with Calvaire, Fabrice Du Welz’s deeply unsettling backwoods nightmare.
Often mentioned in the same breath as Deliverance, Straw Dogs, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Calvaire is a brutal, darkly comic descent into isolation and madness. A travelling cabaret singer finds himself trapped in a remote mountain region, held captive by a fragile innkeeper who refuses to let him leave.
This release includes:
- Director commentary and introduction
- New critic commentary
- Short film and making-of featurette
- Collector’s booklet
Not for the faint-hearted — exactly as it should be.
Black Sunday (1977) — Limited Edition Blu-ray | 9th March
John Frankenheimer’s Black Sunday arrives on Limited Edition Blu-ray, reminding viewers just how vicious 1970s political thrillers could be.
Adapted from Thomas Harris’ debut novel, the film stars Robert Shaw as an Israeli agent racing to stop a terrorist attack on American soil — one involving a blimp, explosives, and a packed Super Bowl stadium.
Tense, intelligent, and unflinchingly grim, this is prestige suspense with real teeth.
Hard Boiled (1992) — Limited Edition 4K UHD & Blu-ray | 30th March
March also sees Arrow unleash John Woo’s Hard Boiled in both Limited Edition 4K UHD and Blu-ray formats.
Starring Chow Yun-Fat as Tequila, the ultimate heroic bloodshed cop, Hard Boiled is wall-to-wall gunfire, operatic violence, and balletic mayhem — widely regarded as the pinnacle of Hong Kong action cinema.
The 4K release is packed with extras, including:
- Brand new John Woo commentary
- New interviews
- Deleted scenes
- Archival documentaries
- Booklet, poster, and art cards
Not horror — but pure genre royalty.
Spaceballs (1987) — Limited Edition 4K UHD | 16th March
Arrow also takes a detour into parody territory with Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs on Limited Edition 4K.
Packed with iconic performances from Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, and John Candy, this sci-fi spoof remains endlessly quotable and painfully accurate in its mockery of blockbuster excess.
Extras include:
- Commentary by Mel Brooks
- Spaceballs: The Documentary
- John Candy retrospective
- Poster and character art cards
May the Schwartz be restored in glorious UHD.
The Birthday (2004) — Limited Edition 4K UHD | 16th March
One of the most intriguing releases of the month is The Birthday, a long-unavailable cult oddity starring Corey Feldman in a wildly against-type performance.
Unreleased for nearly two decades, the film blends screwball comedy, occult horror, and cosmic absurdity into a single-location nightmare. Arrow’s restoration finally gives this cult curio the spotlight it’s been denied.
Samurai Revolution Trilogy — Limited Edition Blu-ray | 30th March
Rounding out the month is Eiichi Kudo’s Samurai Revolution Trilogy, featuring 13 Assassins, The Great Killing, and 11 Samurai.
While not horror, the trilogy’s bleak violence, moral collapse, and ruthless power structures make it essential viewing for fans of dark, uncompromising cinema.
Final Word On Arrow Video March 2026
Arrow Video’s March 2026 slate is a genre lover’s buffet, but for horror fans, there’s no question where the spotlight belongs.
Salem’s Lot finally rises in 4K — restored, expanded, and ready to terrify a whole new generation.
And honestly?
The children of the night have never looked better.
