The WARNING FROM SPACE Blu-ray will be released October 13 by Arrow Video US. The movies feature a High Definition (1080p) presentation with the original Japanese version with optional English subtitles. Extras include a new commentary by Stuart Galbraith IV, author of Monsters Are Attacking Tokyo!, trailers, image galleries, a reversible sleeve featuring newly-commissioned artwork by Matt Griffin, and the first-ever HD transfer of the American release version of the film with a newly restored English dub track.
