As for the multiple releases of this movie, it's because the movie was released without a copyright. Someone messed up and now it's a public domain movie. You could put out your own DVD of it if you so felt the need. George A. Romero has never made a dime off of that movie.
That's the Mackey fun fact of the day.
i own this transfer. it's great. plus the red case is pretty spiffy, too. it was on one of the encore movie channels a few days back and I happened to catch it. no comparison. red case NOTLD takes the cake, bar none. plus the commentary's interesting.
however, my fave dead movie has to be Day. I can't explain it. I think its because it is the underdog of the dead saga.
