March 18: Anchor Bay DEAD NEXT DOOR DVD details

A little while back (i.e., here), we told you that J.R. Bookwalter wanted to hear your vote as to whether you'd like to see a limited-edition special DVD of his Super-8 zombie epic THE DEAD NEXT DOOR. Now it seems that more than the fans responded; Anchor Bay has announced that it has made a deal with Bookwalter's Tempe Video to release an extras-packed DEAD disc in 2005, just in time for the film's 20th anniversary. Bookwalter tells Fango that the extras he tentatively plans to include are:

- Digitally remastered transfer from the original Super-8 film elements, with updated titles and opticals
- Dolby Digital 5.1 surround remix
- 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

Stay tuned for further details.
