Amazon starts 2-for-$25 deal on 4K UHD horror and spooky films

Among the titles mentioned in the source selection are Sinners, The Shining, Nosferatu, Weapons, The Thing, Jaws, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Evil Dead Rise, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Nope, Get Out, Us, The Birds, Doctor Sleep, and Halloween (2018). Stock may vary by title, and some discs could sell out during the promotion.

What happened

Kotaku reports that Amazon has launched a new 2-for-$25 promotion for select 4K UHD Blu-rays. The deal went live on October 2, 2026, and is aimed at shoppers looking to expand a Halloween or horror collection. The publication describes it as a return of Amazon’s fixed-price 4K UHD disc deals, but this time with a lineup built around horror and spooky films.

The offer appears similar to previous Amazon 4K UHD disc promotions, including the well-known 3-for-$33 deals. The difference is that customers now need to pick two movies instead of three to get the fixed price. Kotaku describes the selection as a catalog of “spooky, creepy, or otherwise scary” titles, underscoring the seasonal angle of the promotion.

The source names a number of specific titles included in the deal, including The Shining, The Thing, Jaws, Get Out, and Halloween (2018). Sinners, Nosferatu, Weapons, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Evil Dead Rise, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Nope, Us, The Birds, and Doctor Sleep are also mentioned in the selection. Kotaku notes that not every title is guaranteed to remain available for the full duration of the sale, since stock can vary by disc and some copies may sell out.

To play 4K UHD discs, a UHD player is required. Kotaku specifically mentions the PS5 and Xbox Series X, provided the console has a disc drive. The source ties the promotion not only to a price cut, but also to the hardware needed to actually use the discs.

Background

Amazon often runs fixed-price promotions on 4K UHD Blu-rays, and this edition lines up with the Halloween season. The selection Kotaku mentions is made up mostly of well-known horror and thriller films, along with a few titles that fit a seasonal movie night. The mix of classics and newer releases makes the deal appealing for shoppers building a themed collection, according to the source.

The available sources do not provide a full list of all participating films and also do not mention an end date. That means only the temporary nature of the deal and the fact that availability can vary by title are confirmed. The source does explicitly note that some discs may sell out during the promotion, but it does not provide inventory numbers or title-by-title quantities.

The deal was brought to attention by deals tracker Wario64, who shared a reference to the Amazon offer on X. Kotaku uses that post as the basis for its article and then confirms that Amazon is applying the 2-for-$25 structure to a selection of 4K UHD Blu-rays. Together, the Kotaku report and the X post establish the confirmed details: the start date, the pricing structure, the horror and spooky focus, and the presence of multiple specific titles in the selection.

Because the source does not publish a full catalog, it remains unclear which additional films are included beyond the examples named. It is also not confirmed whether the selection differs by region or whether all Prime members see the same list. What is clear is that the offer was active on October 2, 2026, and that Amazon is presenting it as a temporary promotion for select 4K UHD Blu-rays.
