Universal Studios Brings Stephen Sommers’ Visual Masterpiece Back to Life Just in Time for Halloween With Stunning HDR10, Immersive DTS:X Audio, and Over Two Hours of Bonus Content
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has officially launched the highly anticipated gothic action-thriller Van Helsing (2004) in a Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD Steelbook box set. Available starting October 6, 2026, this premium two-disc release offers fans and physical media collectors the ultimate home theater experience, combining high-gloss custom packaging with unmatched audio-visual fidelity.
From Stephen Sommers, the visionary director of The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, Van Helsing unites three of Universal’s most iconic classic monsters—Dracula, the Wolf Man, and Frankenstein’s Monster—in an action-packed, mythic adventure. The film stars academy-award nominee Hugh Jackman (X-Men) as the legendary monster hunter Gabriel Van Helsing and Kate Beckinsale (Underworld) as the beautiful and fearless Anna Valerious. Together, they engage in an epic battle against the ultimate forces of darkness in the heart of Transylvania.
