The '80s were a special time for cinema, as moviemakers could easily get away with producing fantastical stories that were also nightmare fuel for kids. Jim Henson, creator of The Muppets, did exactly that with The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. If you're interested in revisiting these weird but enchanting masterpieces, Walmart has opened preorders for exclusive limited-edition 4K Blu-ray versions for both films. The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth release November 19 and cost $29 each.

This isn't the first time that these films have been available as 4K Blu-ray editions, but Walmart is offering them with very cool steelbook covers. The Dark Crystal's steelbook cover features a gorgeous illustration of one of the key locations in the movie.

I love Labyrinth. Did you know there was a sequel of sorts (and not the movie that is rumored)? It was a manga (an odd format considering it contained songs). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to_Labyrinth Be warned that it's not that great if you decide to seek it out.

I didn't know that and now I can avoid it.

I thought this was about the really special editions. I think they're about $100 each. One contains a replica of a crystal shard, the other a clear crystal sphere.
