"Arrow Video have announced the UK Blu-ray Disc release of Day of the Dead on 29th March 2010. To honour the 25th Anniversary of writer-director George A. Romero’s 1985 horror film, Arrow have created a special two-disc Blu-ray release that features a host of world exclusive extras, including a restored presentation of the film, a new hi-def soundtrack (the original ‘uncensored dialogue’ version, completely restored), four alternate sleeves, a double-sided poster, a 24-page collector’s booklet ‘For Every Dawn There Is A Day’, plus a very special collector’s comic – ‘Day Of The Dead: Desertion’ – featuring a brand new ‘Bub’ storyline. There are also two all-new retrospectives ‘Joe Of The Dead’ and ‘Travelogue Of The Dead’."


"from the press release…"

"Specially commissioned for this 25th Anniversary Blu-ray release of Day Of The Dead, the world exclusive 24-page comic ‘Day Of The Day: Desertion’ is written by ‘Hack/Slash Meets Re-Animator’ co-writer, Barry Keating, and ‘Halloween: Nightdance’ creator, Stefan Hutchinson, with artwork by ‘Halloween: The First Death of Laurie Strode’ illustrator Jeff Zornow. The storyline recounts the dark and disturbing origins of Day Of The Dead’s iconic zombie, Bub. Only available as part of this Blu-ray release, ‘Day Of The Dead: Desertion’ is just one of the many features that makes this release the one, must-have edition of Day Of The Dead for fans and collectors worldwide.

The Day of the Dead Blu-ray was developed in conjunction with the members of Cult Labs - (www.cult-labs.com) - a forum where film distributors interested in fan opinions spend time getting their expert feedback. One of the artwork options included in the packaging - the triple layer Night/Dawn/Day of the Dead poster was their most popular alternate choice. The main artwork is an all-new oil painting commissioned from artist Rick Melton.

Two all-new documentaries were commissioned for this epic release. In ‘Joe Of The Dead’ (directed by Calum Waddell) actor Joe Pilato talks about his career in movies - from his early appearance in the little-seen Pittsburgh horror outing ‘Effects’ (which also featured Romero regulars Tom Savini and John Harrison) to his small parts in ‘Dawn Of The Dead’ and ‘Knightriders’ and, of course, his work as Captain Rhodes in Day Of The Dead. In addition, Pilato addresses the remake, where his career went following Day of The Dead's disastrous box office upon its initial release and his thoughts on the movie being rediscovered and hailed as a classic.
In ‘Travelogue of the Dead’ (directed by Naomi Holwill), we join Pilato as he travels across Dublin, Edinburgh and Glasgow in October 2009 celebrating the 25th anniversary of Day Of The Dead and witness him meeting the fans, reciting his most famous lines from the movie - live and on stage - and drinking with the best of them! 


Calum Waddell also penned the ‘For Every Dawn There Is A Day’ collector’s booklet, which is an essay on the making of the movie that collects brand new interviews with Romero, Savini, editor Pasquale Buba, assistant director/composer John Harrison and actors Joe Pilato, Lori Cardille and Gary Steele.

horror bloggings

Hello Horrorhounds,

I'm not sure if people are actually reading this blog. But if you do, I'd say thank you for that. I started this foodbedandblood.com with the intention of starting out as a more website styled online horror magazine, focusing on horror newbies, trailers, poster artwork and rants on dvd releases.

However to keep something like that up to date, is just something I can't manage myself and since the start of this website on Halloween last year I have definitely been thinking alot on how to redirect the content, to focus on the things I love about horror and everything that has something to do with it. So do expect some changes to be made in the couple of weeks, writing and lay out wise.

Again..I would love to turn this thing into a solid slick looking online horror magazine/website, but for that you need more people, writers and editors. So for now I'm turning my cheeks towards that idea and I'm going to redirect this into a more personalized blog, just the way I like to read them out there. Inspired by friday evening sessions on blanking out in a comfortable couch with some damn fine good food and a stack of dvd's. Hell yeah. So as I said before, expect some major changes and some more efforts on editing my writings, scheduling frequent blogging moments.

As far as the blogging horror community is going right now. It is still growing and I do have my favorite bloggers up there which I try to check out on a daily basis. It's fun to read people's writings and thoughts on horror movies, sometimes you do feel familiar with some of them and it does.

On a sidenote I wanted to point out on how much of my favorite horror blogs currently are run by women. Final Girl, Day Of The Woman, Cheap Dollar Bin Whore, The Dead Girl,... all of them rule hard. And they offer some of the best blogs currently run in the horror community. So yeah, support that stuff.

Bloody Disgusting is currently throwing a bloody contest by awarding some of the best blogs. So if you're happen to be new to this blogging horror community, it's a worthy list to start discovering some of the best horror blogs out there. Or even start your own goddamn blog.

2010 looks promising for horror hounds and I'm sure it will be a year filled with a shitload of new stuff to check out and enjoy out of a couch stuffed with some pizza and coke.

Two Evil Eyes UK dvd delayed. New artwork!

"Responding to early feedback to its forthcoming DVD release of Two Evil Eyes (as announced in last week’s Update), Arrow Video has decided that not only can a better job be done on the presentation of this title, but that it is also important that fans have faith in the quality of Arrow Video releases, can see that every reasonable effort has been made to make sure that is the case, and that they can be justifiably excited that a film is getting the full Arrow Video treatment. To this end, Arrow Video has taken the exceptional step to halt production of the Two Evil Eyes DVD to allow time for the production of a better quality disc. April 2010 is now the anticipated month of release. We will confirm the actual release date as soon as we can."

The House Of The Devil VHS looks like this!

I would love to give credits for these pictures. But I just don't know where these came from. But this is how the VHS version of The House Of The Devil movie looks like. I like the concept of actually re-releasing this on VHS partly as a promotional stunt. It is guaranteed to become a collectors item. Go hunt it down!

Troma invents Brown Ray!

Hell Yeah! Our faves at Troma promised to go blu-ray in 2010 with their first one being Poultrygeist : Night Of The Chicken Dead, so hold your crotches for more blu-rays coming up. Hold tight for Troma's year of Brown Ray!
