October sees dozens of horror and horror-themed movies, and Fox Home Entertainment today announced it will get in on the action with the Blu-ray debut of Young Frankenstein. On October 7, Mel Brooks’ classic (1974) spoof on Mary Shelley’s horror novel will hit your high-definition screen for the first time.
Young Frankenstein will include a mad scientist’s lab worth of Blu-ray-exclusive features, listed below. The movie will be authored in BD-J on a dual-layer 50GB disc presented in widescreen (1.85:1) format. The audio will naturally be English 5.1 DTS HD Master Audio, and it will include English, French, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin and Korean subtitles.
