Day of the Dead

New Yorkers, check this out! Chris Alo and Tad Ledger, the organizers behind the rapidly growing 12-hour film festival series Hudson Horror Show, are proud to announce the first details for their fifth show. We've got the date and a partial lineup for you. Read on!

In 2008 Steve Miner proved to the film masses that he is a rapidly aging and completely out of touch with today's pop culture white guy with his laughable remake of George A. Romero's classic Day of the Dead (review here) (and Day of the Dead Blu-ray review here). Now, years after its initial release, the film is coming back to Blu-ray...in 3D. Why? Just why? Who asked for this?

The holiday of Halloween is definitely well-covered terrain around these parts every year, but for the 2011 version yours truly, Heather Wixson, thought it might be fun to head south of the Border to Playa del Carmen, Mexico, to experience for myself the wonderful customs and rituals of Dia de los Muertos (or Day of the Dead for all you gringos out there) as part of my long-overdue vacation.

In case you haven’t made the leap to high definition and availed yourself of Arrow Video’s excellent UK Blu-ray releases of George A. Romero’s flesh-eating classics Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, fear not as this week sees Dawn following hot on the heels of last week’s Day in an amazing four-disc DVD edition.

If there's one film company out there whom we take an extreme amount of issue with, it is James Glenn Dudelson and Ana Clavell's Taurus Entertainment. The reason is because the duo take properties they ended up owning through some minor miracle and then give them horrendous in-name-only sequels to fool fans into watching and possibly buying. They're back and ready to do more damage.

Next Monday, 5th April, sees the UK release of Arrow Video’s amazing high-def reissue of George Romero’s classic Day of the Dead - and we’ve got three copies to give away to lucky readers!

Living as close to Mexico as we do, next to Halloween, many Dread Central staffers' favorite holiday is the Day of the Dead (or El Día de los Muertos) so you can bet we'll be first in line to order the super badass Living Dead Dolls Series 20, which is based around the festivities.

For those of you who don't know, there is a monster-sized Blu-ray of George A. Romero's Day of the Dead (story here) on its way to lucky fans in the UK that will feature an exclusive comic tie-in from badass comic maven Stef Hutchinson. Because we love you guys so damned much, we've got some preview pages for you to dig on.

We're just a few short days away from the debut of Breck Eisner's startling new vision of the Romero classic The Crazies, and to celebrate, we're giving away a DVD combo pack of some of the master's best films!

One thing I hate about Blu-ray is the damn region locking that plagued DVD. Before importing a disc, I've got to do plenty of research to ensure it'll work in my player, which sometimes leads to depressing news. While we have a pretty sweet version of Day of the Dead in high definition already thanks to Anchor Bay, today's announcement of a UK edition sounds even sweeter!

I wish I could say the list of horror DVDs for Tuesday, December 2nd, was X-cellent or X-traordinary, but unfortunately it contains both X-Files movies so I just can’t. Still, there’s some good stuff due tomorrow...
