From the Press Release:
Tempe Video today announced the immediate launch of an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to support pre-orders for a 3-Disc “Ultimate Edition” Blu-ray of the 1990 underground zombie favorite The Dead Next Door, the boutique cult label’s first HD release.
Thirty years ago this fall, writer/director J.R. Bookwalter (Ozone, Witchouse 2: Blood Coven) embarked on The Dead Next Door, a gory, ambitious Super-8mm horror feature that pits an elite team of Zombie Squad soldiers against hordes of the undead and the secretive religious cult hell-bent on protecting them. The film would ultimately take four years to complete with the help of more than 1,500 Northeast Ohio residents portraying the multitudes of bloodthirsty zombies.
For this one-of-a-kind release, Tempe has assembled four unrated versions of the film, two of which have been created from a brand-new 2K restoration using the original film elements. To celebrate the film’s 25th release anniversary this fall, collectors and fans will now be able to enjoy the movie in 1080p HD in either 4:3 original aspect ratio or 16:9 cropped alongside the standard-definition masters used for previous VHS and DVD releases, together with all of the commentary tracks and extras from with those versions.
