The classic horror film has received a new transfer and will be available on Blu-ray in October with a wealth of new supplements.

The "chills come thick and fast" (Los Angeles Times) in this riveting, jolt-a-minute thriller about an innocent-looking doll inhabited by the soul of a serial killer who refused to die.
