Universal Studios Home Video has announced that Dawn of the Dead is headed for DVD on October 26, 2004. The DVD will be released in both a âhorrifyingâ new version considered too scary for theater audiences, the âDawn of the Dead Unrated Directorâs Cut,â containing additional footage that not only extends the movie experience but turns up the terror temperature, and the theatrical version. Dawn of the Dead is priced at $29.98 SRP and is also available on VHS for $22.98 SRP.
Both the rated and unrated Dawn of the Dead DVDs contain bonus materials that deliver a frightfest of scary fun for fans, including two original segments created especially for the DVD: âThe Lost Tape,â a video diary containing over 15 minutes of the last days of Andy, one of the survivors; and âSpecial Bulletin,â increasingly grim news reports about the zombie invasions that expand the filmâs nightmarish storyline. Also included are nail-biting deleted scenes, âincisiveâ interviews, commentaries from the cast and filmmakers, and featurettes about the creation of the unforgettably gruesome zombies.
The âDawn of the Deadâ DVDs include these bone-chilling extras:
