After a nice theatrical run, J.J. Abrams’ SUPER 8 is coming home this November in a Blu-ray/DVD Combo pack (you can get the DVD separately as well, if you’re so inclined). The set seems to be packed with goodies, so folks who found this nostalgic Amblin’ production to be a hoot should be more than satisfied by the presentation. (Plus, dig that retro Kodak-y box art!)

The exhilarating story follows a group of friends in a small Ohio town who witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie. When they realize that it was no accident, they set out to find the truth—something more shocking than any of them could have imagined.
