NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 50th Anniversary Ultimate Collectors Box Blu-ray GEORGE ROMERO.


Trans World Entertainment-owned retail chain FYE, for your entertainment, celebrated the 50th anniversary of George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead with an exclusive collector’s edition.


The set features the “Criterion Collection” two-disc Blu-ray featuring the original premiere version of the film, restored and remastered in 4K from the original camera negative and supervised by Romero with the support of the Museum of Modern Art and the Film Foundation. It includes new and archival footage, interviews, and commentary from the original cast and creators. It does not contain a 4K UHD, it was only remastered in 4K and put out on Blu-ray for this set 5 years ago.


The collection also features a limited edition, 250-page graphic novel based on the film with covers by Stephen R. Bissette, art by Richard Bonk, and exclusive photos and interviews with the original 1968 cast and filmmakers.


Also included are the original eight 1968 lobby cards from the release of the film, remastered with gold foil lettering, specially re-designed to celebrate the anniversary. Also, the chain has randomly inserted 250 of the boxes with an additional lobby card autographed by Johnny of “They’re coming to get you, Barbra” fame, played by actor Russell Streiner.


There is also an exclusive poster of the character Karen Cooper, played by Kyra Schon, and a special edition commemorative ticket specially designed with gold foil to commemorate the 50th Anniversary.
