List of Changes:

Change #1 - Produced and compiled by Arrow Video with the kind of loving care and attention only the most devoted of zombie aficionados are willing to provide, this must-have three-disc set includes the George A. Romero approved Theatrical Cut of the film in 1080p resolution on Blu-ray, plus the Director[apost]s Cut and the Dario Argento Cut on DVD, the latter being made available on DVD as part of this collection for the first time in the UK. <newline> <newline>Also included is a host of extras that include the rarely seen "Scream Greats" documentary on the career of special effects wizard Tom Savini, audio commentaries by the filmmakers and, for the first time, French Romero fanatic Nicolas Garreau[apost]s fascinating travelogue-come-documentary "Fan Of The Dead". Additionally, exclusively designed packaging features four different sets of artwork from which fans can choose to display the collection, including the little-seen "gasmask" artwork and an all-new, specially commissioned oil painting commemorating this landmark release of the film. <newline> <newline>The release will be supported by screenings of DAWN OF THE DEAD and "Day Of The Dead" in Dublin (24th October), Edinburgh (25th October) and Glasgow (26th October) with special guests Ken Foree and Joe Pilato in attendance for audience Q&amp;A sessions (see below for full details). <newline> <newline>For those unfamiliar with this milestone movie in horror cinema history, here[apost]s the plot. <newline> <newline>A National Emergency grips the US as the zombie population grows at an inexplicable and alarming rate. Two Philadelphia Police S.W.A.T. officers, a helicopter pilot and his TV reporter girlfriend escape the city and take refuge in an abandoned, suburban shopping mall after securing it following a series of brutal confrontations with the undead. Their survival is threatened when a band of looters leave a door open allowing the zombies access to the mall once more. <newline> <newline>The first sequel to George A. Romero[apost]s seminal 1968 zombie classic "Night Of The Living Dead", the even more powerful and apocalyptic DAWN OF THE DEAD has been hailed by respected film critic Roger Ebert as "one of the best horror films ever made."As a blend of horror, action, tension, and humour, Dawn of the Dead stands in a class of its own as the only true zombie epic of all time. <newline> <newline>A National Emergency grips the US as the zombie population grows at an alarming rate. Two S.W.A.T. officers, a helicopter pilot and his girlfriend escape the city and take refuge in an abandoned shopping mall after securing it following a series of flesh-shredding confrontations with the undead. Their survival is threatened when a band of looters leave a door open allowing the zombies access to the mall once more and a final stand-off for survival must play out. <newline> <newline>With near unbearable tension throughout, George A Romero[apost]s Dawn of the Dead is a work of zombie film-making genius.
