About this deal

Less than 250 limited edition copies remain of both Convoy Busters and Shanghai Joe. Thanks for your support on these titles and making them a success! For those that haven’t yet secured their copies, now is the time.

Archival interviews with cast and crew from “Paura, Lucio Fulci Remembered Vol. 1” (1080p; 42:42) – a number of interviews from much of the cast reminiscing about the filming of City of the Living Dead as well as experiences with working with Fulci. Working from a script he penned with Dardano Sacchetti ( Demons, Exterminators of the Year 3000), Fulci includes many familiar tropes such as the inefficient police, religious iconography, bleeding eyes, extreme gore, spooky cemeteries, giant rats, spiderwebs, crypts, low creeping mist, high screaming wind and of course zombies. These are not your typical undead, as they are more interested in squeezing brains than eating them and can disappear at random. The town of Dunwich, supposedly built on the remains of the original Salem, is a nod to Lovecraft, but there are other inspirations throughout.Seamless branching – watch in English Language w/ English credit sequences and watch Italian language w/ Italian credit sequences. NEW Requiem for Bob: An Interview with Giovanni Lombardo Radice (28:00, 1080p) - another featurette produced by Eugenio Ercolani. In this 2017 interview in Rome, Radice appears relaxed at home with his dogs. He immediately got my attention when he brought up how Deep Red (1975) and Alien (1979) made a big impression on him. Radice discusses his familial roots and details his career in the theatre. He also goes into his positive relationship with Lucio Fulci and friendship with Michele Soavi. Radice recounts an unforgettable episode Fulci had with the girl who portrayed Venantino Venantini's daugther in City of the Living Dead. Radice also spends time explaining how the crew pulled off his famous scene. In addition, Radice discusses collaborating with Ruggero Deodato, other filmmakers, and several Italian actors. In Italian, with optional English subtitles. Carlo of the Living Dead, an archival interview with actor Carlo De Mejo (18:13, 1080p) - Calum Waddell directed this interview of De Mejo, which Arrow put on its 30th Anniversary Edition of the film. In English, not subtitled. A Trip Through Bonaventure Cemetery (2022, 5 minutes) features a drone tour of the location in Savannah, GA.

Catriona Maccoll Video Intro from 2001 (5:14) - this brief interview with Maccoll was recorded for an old DVD release, possibly for UK-based Vipco's PAL DVD. She shares her recollections of working with Lucio Fulci and what she's been up to since apart from acting. In English, not subtitled. The rest of the extras consist primarily of interviews and Q&A sessions. Zombie Kings is an interview with production designer Massimo Antonello Geleng, who worked with a remarkable collection of directors throughout his career including Fulci, Dario Argento, Ruggero Deodato, Sergio Martino, Umberto Lenzi, Luigi Cozzi, Antonio Margheriti, Lamberto Bava, Michele Soavi, and many more. Needless to say, he has an abundance of stories to tell, and he also offers some interesting thoughts about why zombies have proven so fascinating throughout the years. Requiem for Bob is an interview with Giovanni Lombardo Radice, who says that despite having watched City of the Living Dead countless times, the most gruesome moments still affect him. He talks about both his career and his personal life, including working with Fulci, and his struggles with addiction. (He also has some very sweet dogs!) The Meat Munching Movies of Gino De Rossi features the late special effects artist talking about his work on various Fulci films. He also shows off some of the props from his workshop, including the rig that he designed for the drill scene in City of the Living Dead, and some of the infamous hooks from Cannibal Ferox. He admits to some discomfort with having participated in the animal killings in the latter film. Carlo of the Living Dead is an interview with actor Carlo De Mejo, focusing on his work with Fulci. He speculates that the bizarre ending was a matter of the producers wanting to leave the door open for a sequel. City of the Living Dead was distributed theatrically in Italy by Medusa Distribuzione on 11 August 1980. [1] It grossed a total of 985,238,798 Italian lire domestically, a figure described by Curti as "somewhat disappointing". [1] The film was distributed theatrically throughout Europe, including West Germany on September 11, 1980 and France on December 10, 1980, as well as the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal. [1] [13] The German edit of the film distributed by Alemannia/Arabella was about 10 minutes shorter than the Italian version, removing some dialogue scenes but keeping the gory scenes intact. [13] In Paris, the film was screened as Frayeurs at the Festival international du film et de science-fiction. [5] At the festival, the film won the "Grand Prix du Public" (The Audience Award). [5] From the Italian godfather of gore, Lucio Fulci, comes City of the Living Dead, a notoriously nauseating, compellingly corporeal masterpiece of apocalyptic zombie horror!

Fulci pulls out all the stops here, upping the gore factor to new heights of blood-soaked terror and awfulness! Indeed, the Director has outdone himself! Some of the sequences are extreme, even by today's standards! However, it's the heavy, death-filled atmosphere hanging over the whole project that makes this a classic of the genre. There's simply no light to be found. Anywhere! Nothing is sacred, and no one is safe. An unpleasant, unsettling experience to say the least! For lovers of gruesome, apocalyptic doom. Here, he joins Bartok and his mysterious delegation to raise the spirit of an ancient demon for a once-in-a-lifetime ritual.
