*Updated* Umberto Lenzi's Nightmare City, also released under the title City of the Walking Dead, gets a Blu-ray release in December. The Italian horror movie was originally released in Europe in 1980, starring Hugo Stiglitz and Laura Trotter. Gore and nudity also feature quite heavily and not always mutually exclusive. Here are the details from Raro Video:

"TV news reporter Dean Miller waits at the airport for the arrival of a scientist that he is about to interview. There, an unmarked military plane makes an emergency landing. The plane doors open and dozens of zombies burst out stabbing and shooting military waiting outside. Miller tries to let the people know of this event, but General Murchison of Civil Defense will not allow it. Then, Miller tries to find his wife and escape from the blood-thirsty zombies that are all over the city."

While planned for release in October, Nightmare City will be available on December 31st.
