From the Arrow Video US press release:
On
October 27, cult classic
The Frighteners will make its North American 4K UHD debut. The supernatural horror-comedy from director

Psychic Frank Bannister (

He can actually communicate with the dead, enlisting spirits from the cemetery to stage home hauntings before charging the owners to bust the ghosts. Things get really scary when Frank sees a burning number on the forehead of a homeowner during a grift. Is this number tied to the mysterious and sudden deaths around town? FBI agent Milton Dammers (

Little Women),
