Does that mean this release finally includes the titties that were erased with CGI blood on all other HD/BD releases? I still have my HK DVD because of those titties.

DAWN OF THE DEAD (COLLECTOR’S EDITION) ARISES ON A 4K UHD + BLU-RAY™ COMBO RELEASE JANUARY 31, 2022 FROM SCREAM FACTORY

Los Angeles, CA - Something new walks the earth as Dawn of the Dead (Collector’s Edition) releases in a 4K UHD + Blu-Ray™ combo pack this coming January 31, 2022 from Scream Factory. The release features a new 4K transfer of the unrated cut of the film and marks the first time the film will be available in 4K in the U.S. and Canada.

Dawn of the Dead (Collector’s Edition) is currently available for pre-order at ShoutFactory.com. Customers ordering from the site will receive an exclusive 18" X 24" rolled poster featuring the original theatrical artwork while supplies last.

From visionary filmmaker Zack Snyder (300, Army Of The Dead, Zack Snyder’s Justice League), comes a nightmarish vision where society is endangered by a mysterious virus that turns people into mindless, flesh-eating zombies, and a handful of survivors must wage a desperate, last-stand battle to stay alive ... and human!

A popular remake of George A. Romero’s 1979 apocalyptic horror classic, Dawn of the Dead marks the directorial debut from Snyder (Batman vs. Superman, Watchmen) and was co-written by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, Slither). Powered by heart-pounding action and bone-chilling thrills, this edgy and frightening film stars Ving Rhames (Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2), Sarah Polley (Splice), Jake Weber (Wendigo), Mekhi Phifer (Divergent) and Ty Burrell (Modern Family).

The new zombie film AMONG THE LIVING actually looks pretty well made.

Gonna check it out but did you get a chance to discuss his masterpiece Martin? My favourite and in its own way as good as NotLD I think.

Randy, you'll be glad to know that when I met Romero at the Rue Morgue festival in the early 2000s, I told him that MARTIN was my favourite vampire movie of all-time and he told me that it was his personal favourite of all of his films. I cherish the memory.

We discussed MARTIN with John Amplas also in attendence, but it was at the con proper on their stage. We did not film it unfortunately.

Here is a video of a fireside hangout I did with George A. Romero about a decade back. This was at a con but off-site, with super limited seating, and free alcohol.

To preface...I asked people if they wanted the already kinda done to death zombie films talk, which had gone on all weekend, or to get into Mr. Romero as a person, and his life. They chose the later thank doG.

I've met and dealt with a LOT of performers and artists whose work I loved but proved disappointing in everyday life as human beings lol. Again, thank doG, Mr. Romero and pretty much his entire group of collaborators we're so incredibly humble and kind, and appreciated the fact their work was so well lived.

Really beautiful.

As sweet as these all look, I'm gonna hold off. I have a gut feeling a Rad US edition will be released in the future.

Diabolik has pre-orders up for the standard 4k and UHD releases.

Base cancelled my order of the UHD set in October when they decided to no longer ship out of the UK. Since I already have the novelization and assumed the essay book would end up what most essay books end up being, I think I can live without it. So I've decided to wait for the standard release next year, which is supposed to have all three cuts.
