We've been looking forward to the Blu-ray Collector's Edition of Day of the Dead and the release date has just been announced. While the movie previously received a Blu-ray release from Anchor Bay, this new edition features a brand new and improved transfer, along with new bonus features.

"Below ground in a fortified installation, scientists conduct experiments to understand the virus that has turned humanity into flesh-hungry zombies. Isolated and deprived of natural light, the researchers begin clashing with their military protectors and it soon becomes apparent that their co-dwellers are just as dangerous and unpredictable as the zombies gathering to enter their safe haven... Director George A. Romero follows Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead with this stark, unflinching sequel that stands as the series' most gritty and astoundingly gory installment."

The movie will be released on September 17th and will be available on Blu-ray and DVD. The artwork below was created by Nathan Thomas Milliner. Want to learn more about upcoming horror titles from Scream Factory? Catch up on our recent coverage:
