On the DVD
The 40th anniversary edition of Night of the Living Dead comes equipped with some old special features and some new wrinkles. But first off, buyer beware: the endless copyright problems of NOTL are still with us, and a public-domain version of the movie, also billing itself as the 40th anniversary edition, is floating around out there (the one you want has George Romero's replica signature in silver at the bottom of the front cover). This new package contains some pre-existing features, including an intriguing audio interview with leading man Duane Jones, a somewhat tortured intellectual who sounds conflicted about his fame from the movie. Two commentary tracks allow Romero and other key collaborators to sound off about the film, and the original script is included as a DVD-ROM extra. A brief Q&A with Romero onstage at a festival is all right, but the real draw is a new feature-length documentary, One for the Fire, about the making of NOTL. It's got great anecdotes about the genesis of the project and the scrappy group of Pittsburghers who came together to make the world's greatest zombie movie. There's also info about the post-production goof that resulted in the film going out without a copyright attached--a detail that cost Romero and his backers millions. --Robert Horton

Customer Reviews

The Dead Walk Again!!
This film is a Masterpiece, most people who have seen this film should agree with me if you do not then you do not like Cinema or you do not have any respect for great films of the past and their Directors.

There seem to be a lot of these people who i have mentioned above do not have respect for great classic films and there directors they would go out and see or buy garbage like Charlies Angels, Titanic, Bridget Jones Diary, Basic Instinct 2, etc, instead of buying any classic films of the past or recent memory, these people piss me off and insult me you should stay out of watching or owning movies!!!.

Anyway to this DVD, this 40th Anniversary Edition of The Night Of The Living Dead is a great film but it does not have enough extras to make it as good as Dawn Of The Dead UE 4 Disc set.

With this Restored and Remastred Edition the Black and White picture is sharp and i have spotted no grain whatso ever the picture is also so very clear to the Eye.
The sound is also very good with the music roaring to the sound of the extreme horror which dominates my HDTV.

Again going back to the extras i just wished there was more and i was hoping for either a 2/4 Disc set but nether mind thats life eh, the extras consist of the following:-
A 83 minute Making off Production Documentary
2 Audio Commentaries by the usual Suspects!
Q/A Session with George Romero
Ben Speaks The last interview with Duane Jones
Trailer
Still Gallery
Original Script
could of been so much more.

So final verdict
George Romero's 40th Anniversary Edition Of Night Of The Living Dead Restored and Remastered is a great classic Horror movie but with average extras.

THE ULTIMATE ZOMBIE CLASSIC!!!
This is the Godfather of Zombie films! It's been 40 years since George A. Romero directed this classic, and all these years later, we still enjoy it! The storyline is awesome! The gore is awesome! The twist ending is awesome! It has the classic look and feel of the late 60's. If you love classic horror and zombies, you'll love NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD!!!

George Romero has caught Lucasitis
Jesus Christ George! How many times are you going to re-re-re-re-release this movie? Their are as many versions of this movie floating around as their are Friday the 13th episodes. Quadruple dipping must be a George thing.
