It's true. Anchor Bay are indeed re-releasing it - even the official DND website confirms it. I wouldn't be surprised if it came out the same time as the forthcoming Dead Next Door videogame.

Here's the proposed extras list for it:

• Alternate "temp track" audio mix with the original actors’ voices
• Commentary by writer/director Bookwalter and other key production personnel
• Extensive making-of featurette containing all-new interviews, rare behind-the-scenes footage and local TV appearances
• Test footage from the planned 3/4-inch video shoot
• Deleted and extended scenes
• 1980 short film Zombie, which DEAD NEXT DOOR was based upon, with commentary by Bookwalter
• Clips from the German and Spanish-dubbed releases
• Frightvision 2000 reunion footage
• Three Miles Out music video
• Huge still gallery with press clippings, artwork and more
• DVD-ROM PDF files of all six original screenplay drafts, which include never-filmed scenes

Apparently, Bookwalter says that after this new DVD release, he may look towards finally working on a sequel film.

I've got an old VHS copy of this one. It's okay - some original ideas and decent zombie effects. Also some cheesy acting, props and sets typical to low budget indie flicks. I'm glad its seeing rerelease on DVD - I'll pick it up...it's worth seeing. Sam Raimi "secretly" (uncredited) helped out with the funding on this film, and I've been told that Bruce Campbell (also uncredited) dubbed his voice for one of the characters (watched it numerous times but couldn't tell you if this is definitely true or not).

Yes, Bruce's voice was used as an overdub - but although I've heard it, I don't remember the exact dialogue. As for Raimi - he backed it initially but later decided that he didn't want any involvement with it at all and pulled out.

Personally, I don't care for the film much. I have it on VHS but have no plans to buy a DVD version (there's one already out here in the UK). I tried watching it again some time ago, but ended up really wincing at the whole zombie in the video store business. I was then sharply reminded of how cheeseball the movie was and decided to watch something else instead.

You used to be able to get the movie in the UK, it was distributed by Crypt Keeper ( www.cryptkeeper.co.uk ), I just checked their website and it no longer mentions it. I guess Anchor Bay have bought the UK rights too.

Apparently this movie was the most expensive 8mm flick ever made, costing several hundered thousand dollars. Never seen it, but it looks like a hidden gem, I need to get me a copy when Anchor Bay release it.

Ummm..."used to"? It's still available now. You can get it from Play.com (http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=title&r=R2&title=95892&p=57&c=&g= 72) for 14 quid or from Amazon UK (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005OCV1/ref=sr_aps_dvd_1_1/202-3025436-0043035) for 18 quid. And yes, this is the Crypt Keeper edition. They may not have it on their website, but it seems they are still distributing it.

I thought this movie was a bit overrated, especially after I watched it the second time. Their were some scenes, and ideas, I did happen to like. The acting was kinda bad, from what I can remember of it. I do realize though, it was a low budget horror flick.

This film was never available in Oz. I have a 1985 issue of Fangoria that has some stills and directors interview about DND. I bought the issue mainly due to the day of the dead feature (at the time, Day was banned here). I have looked everywhere for DND since. Now, it looks like i finally can. Good, bad or indifferent, i will probably get it on dvd next year.

This flick is definately worth a look. Sometimes you didn't know if you should take it seriously or not........the zombies in the video store were cheeseball, but it set the tone for the movie and at least you knew what you were in for. I thought the following zombie attacks in the opening credits were very cool though.....cheeseball to serious in 30 seconds!

A bit of something here for everyone and a different take on trying to live with the epidemic....best enjoyed with a few ales and an open mind. 3 out of 5 cadavers.

i thought it was an enjoyable movie.............the first half hour is way better than the last half...........i really didn't care for another Day of the Dead-ish situation with the whole world being zombies and some tyrant is trying to be the boss.

the zombies look really cool and some of them are puppets, instead of human actors.........and they are some of the coolest looking ones.

i have the canadian region free dvd and it's not too bad. that is deff. Bruce Campbell on there as the main character of the zombie squad. this movie has some of the worst dubbing i've ever heard, esspecially the scientist..........ugh.

good movie with a few problem, just like almost every other movie.

I lived in Arcanum, OH when this film was being made and remember newspaper ads boasting a "zombie casting call", asking for anyone who wanted to appear as a zombie to show up. I also remember director J.R. Bookwalter's TV interview talking about the film, and the area he filmed it in (Akron, OH I believe) reminds me a lot of the town I lived in at the time, Arcanum.

It took me several years to finally see this flick and when I did I thought it was okay, but nothing great. It definitely did have some effects which defied the budget and the overall feel is more tongue in cheek than serious "end of the world" hullabaloo. But though it's not a great flick, I still enjoy it simply for its nostalgic value. I'd say it's worth at least a rental.

By sheer coincidence, I picked this up over the weekend and looked forward to a late night viewing, having a vague recollection that this was mostly well-reviewed on ATZ. This happened to me once before with "Alien Dead" - remembered that there were threads, forgot what they said. Indeed, one thread that came up in my post-viewing search re DND was this one, and thus I feel compelled to share. Well this was no "Alien Dead" but it was not quite a classic either.

What I liked: the opening zombie attack on the good people of Akron; the creepy shots of country roads that all seemed to evoke the original NOTLD; the Zombie Squad's first cleanup of an infested house; and, after a while, the coexistence of people with the zombie menace, including the pro-zombie protesters, who would seem somehow at home in our crazy modern world (gotta love the sign - "Zombies Bite but Zombie Squad Sucks").

What I didn't like: everything drawn from GAR's "Day" (which was a lot) and the Jim Jones/Jim Baker-esque cult leader (and the cult itself). And the two scientists, upon whom the fate of the nation rested, who looked like two butchers from the local supermarket, albeit with a less refined grasp of chemistry.

This one was, for me, worth buying (I paid $14), and I know that I will watch it again with some of my jaded zombie-lovin' friends, with beers at the ready. However, this may be one of those films for true zombie fans only. If you can rent it first, do so.

Slumlord

08-15-2005, 08:18 PM

I'll wait for it to appear in Blockbuster. I have enough crappy b- zombie movies that even my 19 year old kids laugh at me for. In fact that's probbaly most of you except you wouldn't laugh, you own them too.

Off topic but this is true. I bought a used copy of Dead Heat from the local video store for $2 and when checking out some teenage punk-ass high-schooler next to me looked at it and said "That looks gay." and I responded with "What the hell do you know, you're renting Hitch." and she just stood there dumbfounded as I left.

My DND arrived today and I'm looking forward to a late night viewing.

I agree with Pain and Blind Dead. This movie is nothing but fun. How could you not love the Zombie Squad. I want some of those patches so bad I can't stand it. The scenes at Washington and the zombiefied Mercer make this movie worth buying for me. I remembered loving this movie as a kid and because of Anchor Bay, I remember why.

BTW, does anyone know why Sam Raimi had his name pulled from DND?

The Blind Dead

08-16-2005, 01:45 PM

No idea. Perhaps he yanked his name due to his big budget studio release Darkman?

08-16-2005, 02:13 PM

Changed my mind after a second viewing - no reservations. This film is a hoot, and if you are checking out this site, you should enjoy it. Even if it isn't the best of the genre, there is always a certain thrill in finding "lost" zombie flicks (by which I mean films that were made in the 70s, 80s or 90s and had limited distribution until the advent of DVDs) that one may have missed the first time around. I had this pleasure recently with Burial Ground, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, and Nightmare City. I can only hope there are more such films to be unearthed - makes a nice counterpoint to the new generation of zombie-themed theatrical releases that we've had in the past couple of years. Wish I could have seen Dead Next Door back in '88. I'm sure I would have been inspired to pick up a camcorder and try to do my own zombie film.

The Blind Dead

08-16-2005, 04:10 PM

In my younger years I would sneak off to this stinky, gross, scary little hole-in-the-wall video store not far from my home in Chicago called, Video Island. It was run by this disgusting sleezebag who smoked more than a Pinto with bad seals. The videos were grungy and stank like cig butt. At that time the rentals only cost $1.50 to people who on the Island (a small area in the city). I would slip into Video Island (hiding from view and careful not to get caught by my Pentecostal Family) and I would rent arm fulls of horror video's.

He always had these strange and exotic horror films that my friends hadn't seem. DND was one of them. It looked like crap but back then, it was a brilliant gem of gore to be hidden and enjoyed in secret.

I'm really overjoyed I was able to grab the DVD.

Slumlord

08-17-2005, 01:34 AM

This was a great flick. I really dug the whole cult idea and how they stockpiled zombies and fed them. Bruce Campbell as Raimi is easily detected... how can you not recognize that voice and even a suprise appearence of Gilbert Gottfried as the reverend was too good. The DVD was chocked full of extras that I actually like... I usually just skip 'em.

The only thing disappointing was the video quality. Everything was grainy and dark and on a bright backdrop everyone had an aura of like dirt or dust or something swirling around them.

For $8 though you really can't go wrong. :clap:

The only thing disappointing was the video quality. Everything was grainy and dark and on a bright backdrop everyone had an aura of like dirt or dust or something swirling around them. One possible explanation, for the film's so-so quality, might be that it was shot on 8mm.

Here's a few more trivia tid bits about The Dead Next Door.... http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/Characters/1bnz_smiley.gif

The executive producer credited as "The Master Cylinder" is actually Sam Raimi.

Some of the main characters are named after important people involved in the horror movie industry: Raimi = Sam Raimi, Savini = Tom Savini, Cmdr. Carpenter = John Carpenter.

Bruce Campbell's voice can be heard dubbed for the characters Raimi and Commander Carpenter.

Everyone who worked on this film, worked for free.

Sam Raimi used his pay from "Evil Dead 2" to fund this film.

The aura was caused by mildew damage on the original film stock. I talked to Bookwalter a couple of weeks ago and he mentioned it to me. The rest you can chalk up to standerd super 8mm problems.

I wonder why he wanted to be discredited from it then? I'd be proud to have my name behind this movie but in the interviews everytime his name was spoken it was replaced with a "cu-koo" sound effect.

Oh, the description on the back says 'digitally remastered' I just thought that meant that the film was cleaned up with a crisp clear picture or something. I guess there's only so much you can do.

With a small budget that's about all you may get. If they were working with a massive restoration budget they could have done so much more.

that's exactly right. the quality of the source material will dictate what can be expected from the finished digital product. i like old jazz, but a lot of those early recordings were done on acetate that didn't survive to the digital age. if the cd is remastered from vinyl, like you said, "there's only so much you can do" to get rid of scratches, surface noise, etc.

The Blind Dead

08-22-2005, 10:58 AM

Plus I believe the original source material had mold issues. Without a Titanic sized budget for restoration you get what you get, especially with 8mm film from the 80's. They actually did quite well considering.

Yeah, the Anchor Bay Dead Next Door DVD is definitely worth checking out, especially for the low price. If your priority is mainly zombies and gore above all else, DND is a solid addition to your zombie movie collection, offering some nice zombie carnage not seen in other zombie films, including the decapitated old zombie eating.

I saw this about 6 weeks ago. It's definitely a low budget 80's movie.

Here's a scene that may help you decide.
Your zombie cops are rolling around in a station wagons and putting zombies in the back. They get back to HQ, roll down the back window, and try to get one out through the window and someone gets bit.

No cattle trucks, no armored vehicles. Good old station wagons. One zombie is kept in balsa wood cage. OK, maybe it was pine, but still I'd never trust it to hold a zombie.

I totally loved the accidental aesthetic of the mildew swirling all over the place. It adds some real charm. And it should be noted to anyone who thought the film looked like crap (in the old VHS release) that they did an amazing job or brightening up certain scenes which were under exposed etc. and as mentioned earlier the extras and commentaries are totally wicked.

Ahhh.....I love the Dead Next Door. What a great movie to eat pizza and drink many beers to.

The characters are absolutely corny as hell but in a good and funny way. The gore in this low budget zombie flick is top notch. I like how J.R. Bookwalter named characters after is idols like John Carpenter, George Romero, and Tom Savini.

I also enjoy watching the making of it and behind the scenes of it on the dvd.

Yeah but they all have the 70's beavers going in it and hairy arm pits lol.:lol::lol:

The intro during the opening credits is okay, has a Dawn of the Dead vibe to it. The gray face paint and a zombie attempting to make a phone call. The dialogue became too much for me to bear though.

Whatever ever happened to J.R. Bookwalter's career after this cause he just disappeared and it seemed he was gonna be another Sam Raimi back in the day. I know that he owns the dvd publishing company Tempe but it seems like he would wanna direct again lol.

He directed a shitload of low budget films, and still produces them, before getting into distribution
