I saw the following article at Fangoria.com and almost lost it. This is definitely one of those sets I will have to buy. Pretty smart marketing to continuously re-release to foolish fans of these cult classics. They know we’ll snap them up like candy. I’m such a sucker for zombie stuff. Honestly, I’m not even sure why. Perhaps it’s the sheer cheese of a zombie film that gets me. Some of them are laughably bad. There’s also a philosophical and psychological angle to zombie movies. How would you react if you were a zombie? Do they have feelings? On what level, if any, are they conscious? Do they remember their past lives? What does it feel like to be a zombie? Is it painful? At any rate, here’s the article:
Final specs for Anchor Bay’s DAY OF THE DEAD 2-DVD set
Anchor Bay has informed Fango of the final specs on its amazing two-DVD release of DAY OF THE DEAD, coming August 19. This is the first Anchor Bay title to use the new DiviMax high-definition transfer process, and will present the film in 1.85:1, 16×9-enhanced widescreen. In addition to 6.1 DTS-ES and Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks, the movie will come with audio commentary by George A. Romero, Tom Savini, production designer Cletus Anderson and star Lori Cardille, and a second commentary track by filmmaker Roger (KILLING ZOE) Avary.
The second disc will be packed with a wide array of bonus materials, as follows:

The package also comes with a 16-page booklet designed to look like Dr. Logan’s notebook, containing liner notes and original production sketches from the film. And it’s all for just $29.98! Romero fans, start salivating now…
