NOTLD...in color?

Check it, courtesy of BloodyDisgusting.com:

Over at Off Color Films, they write, "A true cult classic, and one of the scariest movies of all time. The dead are walking, and hunger for human flesh. A group of panicked survivors are barricaded in a deserted farmhouse while the army of flesh eating zombies hovers outside their door. Now experience the bone-chilling terror in color for the first time on DVD."

This over-the-top disc includes a restored original black and white version, and a color version that will thrill the horror film fan and horrify the film purist. We've added a 5.1 surround sound mix, and bonus features including a hilarious audio commentary by Mike Nelson of Mystery Science Theater 3000. In addition to having you rolling on the floor with laughter, Mike will teach you how to concoct and drink numerous Zombies. Watch for the 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead in COLOR this Halloween.

I have had the colour version on VHS for quite a while now. The double DVD sounds good though.

This is a colorization of the 1968 version.

Sounds cool.

I know, I have it on VHS, like I said. It's been available in the UK for a few years.

so..... they made it in colour, big whoop. if you dont like the idea, dont watch it. pretty simple

Interesting. The new company that's retooling a colorized version, that's what they specialize in. I'm looking forward to it.

Any more classic Black & White horrors being colourised in the near future?

Yes, classics being respected on this board! FINALLY!

I think if they take a load of B+W horrors and add colour to them it could introduce classic movies to a new generation who will surely grow weary of Jeepers creepers, etc.

Well, I should point out that this is a NEW colorized version, not those crappy old Turnerized versions that have been released on VHS in the past. All of the discs released by Legend Films have been done with superior colorization technology, and look quite realistic. My favorite release of theirs is "Plan 9 from Outer Space."

I quite like their new colorized version of "Night of the Living Dead" -- it even keeps the atmosphere of the original black and white classic. The company has also done "Carnival of Souls," "House on Haunted Hill," and "Reefer Madness" under the Off Color Films line. They've also released some non-cult items including Shirley Temples' films (I hate her, but if you're a fan, you can check the discs out) and Abbott & Costello's "Africa Screams". They've also restored the Abbott & Costello film "Jack and the Beanstalk," which was SHOT in color.

They're a very good company, and I definitely recommend their releases. 😎

Could be very cool, there have been great jobs done in coloring oldies.
But truly, NOTLD doesn't really need it, I always respected how frightening and gross it was even in black & white, and that is a great accomplishment for a movie as it still does what it's ment to do so many years later.

Yeah this has been out here for a while. I don't think I can recall seeing it separately sold because that exact color version comes with Evil Dead I believe, I'll have to check it out again.
