The classic horror film The Exorcist is getting a special-edition 4K Blu-ray release later this year, exclusively at Best Buy. The special edition will include 4K remasters of the original theatrical cut and the extended director's cut on two discs, plus digital copies of both versions, all packaged in a collectible steelbook case.

The Exorcist 4K SteelBook edition will release on September 19 for $35 at Best Buy. Preorders are available now, but keep in mind this Best Buy-exclusive already sold out once, so it could disappear again.

Preordering the two-disc set will lock you in for Best Buy's preorder price guarantee, so if the price drops between now and the release, you only pay the lowest price.

Originally released in 1973, The Exorcist is a supernatural horror movie directed by William Friedkin, that follows two Catholic priests, Father Karras (Jason Miller) and Father Merrin (Max Von Sydow), who are called to perform an exorcism on a young girl possessed by Satan (Linda Blair).

The Exorcist is often listed as one of the best and most influential horror movies ever made thanks to its pioneering special effects, and its popularity spawned numerous sequels and spinoffs, including the upcoming The Exorcist: Believer, which premieres in theaters on October 13.
