In the weeks since the passing of the legendary George A. Romero, fans far and wide have found comfort in revisiting his filmography, including Night of the Living Dead, which forever changed the horror genre as we know it. Soon, Mill Creek Entertainment will release what is perhaps Romero's most seminal work on Blu-ray in the USA.
As reported by Bloody Disgusting, Mill Creek Entertainment will release George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead on Blu-ray this October, on the 3rd according to Amazon and on the 17th according to Mill Creek.
No special features have been announced at this time, but we'll keep Daily Dead readers updated on further announcements, including the rumored, potential 4K Criterion Collection Blu-ray.
Directed by George A. Romero from a screenplay he co-wrote with John A. Russo, Night of the Living Dead stars Duane Jones, Judith O’Dea, Karl Hardman, and Marilyn Eastman. The film will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year.
Synopsis: "The nation is overcome with panic as all of the dead suddenly come back to life, searching for human flesh to devour. A group of individuals searching for safety are followed on their journey to an abandoned farmhouse in attempts to remain protected, but their attempt begin to dissipate as zombies find their way inside."
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
