The film received its first North American Blu-ray released on September 13 , 2011 through Universal , packaged as a 30th Anniversary Edition . This release sparked controversy immediately due to the fact that Universal removed the credit " Moustapha Akkad Presents " and replaced it with " Universal , An MCA Company , Presents " ... in a font that did not match the rest of the opening credits . Akkad 's son , Malek , called the stunt " disgusting . It 's a disgrace ... objectively , any horror fan would find this as an insult to the man who has done so much to the series . And to come after his tragic death , he 's not even around to defend himself . It 's classless . I 'm talking to Universal now and they 're ' looking into it . ' " However , Akkad was still credited on the packaging . Fans immediately called for a boycott of the disc and set up a Facebook page . On November 28 , Universal began sending out emails announcing that the revised Blu-ray was now available and for owners of the previous disc to provide the studio with their " address and daytime phone number " to receive replacements
