VIPCO didn't release Zombie Flesh Eaters on DVD in the UK, Stonevision beat them to it.
VIPCO released the same 'Extreme' Version as Stonevision, but on VHS only in the UK .
They were mighty pissed off over the situation, stating 'Rights issues ' as the reason for the VHS only release , in an article in a UK horror mag.
Both companies versions are identical and although labelled 'Extreme' are slightly cut , but are stronger than VIPCO's previous 90's re released cinema version in their 'Cult Classics' collection .
They (vipco) did go on to release Zombie Flesh Eaters 2 and 3 on DVD and VHS with very similar artwork to the original and fully uncut , while ZFE got re released on the Dead of Night label. before appearing for the first time on DVD in a fully uncut form in ABUK's Box of the Banned.
The slightly cut 'Dead of Night' version is the only version still available in the UK at the moment .
