day of the dead has a feature length making of extra which is fantastic and watching prince of darkness on blu-ray really pulls you into the film like never before.

For me the best thing on the disc is the making of feature which is around 80 mins long and interviews nearly everyone and even has the actors redoing their best lines. The documentary is outstanding and a great insight into the making of the film.

There is also a fair bit of behind the scenes footage from Tom Savinis archives

Overall I'm happy with it and prefer it over the Arrow disc and I do think it looks better but on transfer alone, as good as it is, it's not shockingly better.
