Walking Dead DVD Set + New Evil Dead 2 Release

[Sadogoat]

Over at Fangoria, they've got some news on upcoming DVD releases, including the new 'Book Of The Dead' edition of Evil Dead 2. Here's the cover of it:

Apparently, it has "a sound chip inside—poke the eye and it “screams”! The package includes a 16x9 widescreen transfer with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound, commentary by Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, Scott Spiegel and Greg Nicotero, two featurettes, Evil Dead II: Behind the Screams and The Gore the Merrier, a poster/still gallery and talent bios. This one will retail for $39.98"

Also due out is a compilation DVD set of zombie movies called "The Walking Dead". This is ideal for anyone who has just started trying to amass a collection of zomb flicks - the set includes the following:

City Of The Living Dead
Dead Heat
Hell Of The Living Dead (aka Zombie Creeping Flesh, aka Virus)
House By The Cemetery
Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (aka The Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue)
Nightmare City

Granted, some of the above films are quite shit, but then again most of them crop up here in conversation semi-regularly and most zombie fans have copies (whether they admit it or not). :D

Cool. :)

Digging around I find:

The Walking Dead set:
www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000A3DGHQ/wwwrevenantmc-20

Book of the Dead 2:
www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000A3XY9Q/wwwrevenantmc-20

Book of the Dead 1 is:
www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005RYLE/wwwrevenantmc-20

I'm a bit confused by the UK releases - there is a Book of the Dead:
www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000060NZC/revenantmagaz-21

and the R1 release:
www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005RYLE/revenantmagaz-21

but ther is also a Book of the dead not yet released but available for pre-order:
www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000A1LFAS/revenantmagaz-21

I'll drop them a line and see what the score is.

Thanks for the links guys!

I've seen ads for the ED2 Book of the Dead but the Walking Dead is new to me. I'm going to have to grab that. For those of you that dislike paying Amazon pricing, Deep Discount DVD has this Walking Dead set on Region 1 for $20.99.

It's up for pre-order for a September 13 release date. http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=ABD013855

They are re-releasing Let sleeping corpses lie also separately right? Because I have most of the other movies and don't want to buy the set.
