So they're basically re-releasing the deluxe packaging version after selling a simpler amaray variant...
Oh, I guess the other one was UK only.

This is first time USA/Canada getting 4K and Blu-ray releases of Hellraiser: Quartet.
The previous arrow Quartet releases was UK only.

Reason only getting a release now in USA arrow had to wait for paramount in north america to licence Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth and Hellraiser: Bloodline
Arrow was only able to secure the USA/Canada rights from Paramount last month.
