Default Weekly Comp - Dawn or Day Of The Dead -19/09/2010 - FINISHED

Hello everyone!

It's time for another weekly competition here at Cult Labs, but unlike the last comp, this one has a much MUCH slower pace, but with an EVEN better prize! Yes, George A. Romero's Dawn Of The Dead and Day Of The Dead are up for grabs this week - and it's the DVD versions! So, for all those without a Blu-Ray player, you won't want to miss this comp - the DVDs are beautiful full of extras and sooo much more!

Dawn Of The Dead



THE DEFINITIVE DVD EDITION OF ROMERO'S CLASSIC ZOMBIE SHOCKER

From Arrow Video comes the ultimate four-disc DVD edition of George A. Romero's Dawn Of The Dead featuring three different cuts of the feature presentation plus a whole host of specially produced extras previously only available on Arrow Video’s Blu-ray release of the film.

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.

The first sequel to George A. Romero's seminal 1968 zombie classic "Night Of The Living Dead", the equally powerful and apocalyptic Dawn Of The Dead was hailed by respected film critic Roger Ebert as "One of the best horror films ever made."

The four-disc Dawn Of The Dead (cert. 18) will be released on DVD (£19.99) by Arrow Video on 20th September 2010.

Features include: George A. Romero approved theatrical cut of feature presentation; audio commentary by George A. Romero, Tom Savini and Chris Romero; audio commentary by Richard P. Rubinstein; Document Of The Dead documentary plus The Lost Interview and deleted scenes; Fan of the Dead; Director’s Cut of feature presentation; The Dead Will Walk documentary; Dario Argento Cut of feature presentation; US and German trailers; TV and radio spots; reviews Giallo trailers; Scream Greats documentary on Tom Savini; four sleeve art options; double-sided fold out poster; For Every Night There Is A Dawn collector’s booklet.

Day Of The Dead



THE ULTIMATE TWO-DISC DVD EDITION PACKED WITH A HOST OF WORLD EXCLUSIVE EXTRA FEATURES.

From Arrow Video comes the ultimate two-disc DVD edition of George A. Romero's Day Of The Dead featuring a whole host of specially produced, world exclusive extras previously only available on Arrow Video’s 25th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray release of the film.

In this, the third instalment in Romero’s ongoing zombie saga, the living dead have now taken over the world and only small pockets of human resistance survive. One such group of desperate survivors, a motley crew of scientists and soldiers, are holed up in a 14-mile long underground missile silo. As the scientists experiment on forcibly captured zombie specimens to try and find a way to control them, the soldiers become increasingly impatient with the lack of results and are eager to wage an all-out war on the undead. Soon, the tension between the two human camps erupts into a violent situation that is only overshadowed by the vicious zombie slaughter that surrounds them.

Easily the bleakest, goriest and most chilling of Romero’s zombie movies to date, Day Of The Dead sees Tom Savini and his special effects team hitting an all-time career high with an endless succession of super-realistic flesh tearing, bone snapping, gut spilling mayhem that for some viewers will prove almost too much to endure. The setting within a seemingly endless series of underground caverns adds an unbearable tension to a movie that is still as shockingly violent and claustrophobic today as it was twenty-five years ago.

The two-disc Day Of The Dead (cert. 18) will be released on DVD (£19.99) by Arrow Video on 13th September 2010.

Features include: audio commentary by special effects team members Greg Nicotero, Howard Berger, Everett Burrell and Mike Deak; Joe Of The Dead documentary; Travelogue Of The Dead; The Many Days Of Day Of The Dead documentary; Behind The Zombies footage; Romero Zombography; Photo Album Of The Dead; Souvenirs Of The Dead; Night… and Dawn… trailers; The Audio Recollections Of Richard Liberty; TV Ads Of The Dead; Wampum mine promo; two sleeve art options; double sided fold out poster; Day Of The Dead: Desertion – exclusive 24-page collector's comic book featuring new 'Bub' storyline; For Every Dawn There Is A Day collector's booklet.


So how do you win?

George A. Romero >>>>> Romero>>>> Romeo>>>> Shakespeare>>>>Weekly Comp!

As you may know zombies have recently blended with famous works of literature, from Alice In Zombieland Scrooge: A Zombie Christmas Carol, War Of The Worlds And Blood And Guts And Zombies, and most famously Pride And Prejudice And Zombies. So, all you have to do is come up with one of your own. A classic work of art (literature/painting/whatever) but a zombie version. What would it be called? You could add a synopsis or something similar if you wish. The three funniest and most innovative entries will win this comp and they'll each be able to choose whether they'd like Dawn or Day on DVD! Simple!

Winners will be announced next sunday and anyone can enter as many times as they like.

Good luck!

Kyle

On The Origin Of Zombies

By Means of Un-Natural Selection

Dr Logan’s ground breaking tomb on the origins and evolution of zombies. Starting with an in depth look at the accident that created the first of these creatures. Logan then tracks there development from mindless shambling, brain munching animated flesh though to growingly self aware monsters of human creation.

The study of Bub, a zombie trained by Dr Logan himself is one of the many highlights in this excellent book.

It’s just a shame that there are not many people left to read it.

Zombies! Where aught thou zombies!
Zombies doth plauge the malls of america tonight, so thy shall hand my kitchen utilites and shall aim to smash thy heads, for when they arth very little room down below the fiery depths of hell, the dead doth plauge the living and walk rather slowly on thy earth.

Written without thought, will try to think of a better one.

JUST SINGING AND KILLING IN THE RAIN - A MUSICAL

Singing in the rain follows an actor at a big movie studio, at the dawn of the talkies who meets and falls in love with an unknown actress with a poweful singing voice, but she has to battle against the studios biggest female star. Unfortunately she is hired as the Vocalist on the movies as the female star cannot sing.

The new version takes place at the same time. An actor working for a major studio at the dawn of the talkies falls in love with an unknown actress with a powerful sing voice, but she has to battle against the studio's biggest female star. Unfortunately, due to a leak at near by government facility where some dubious research into chemical warefare happens. The toxins re-animate the corpses of the dead. not only must the unknown actress battle big female lead, she must along with the actor and his friend battle the living dead as a the storm of the century rages.

Key songs include....
Make 'em die
Good morning Good morning we killed the whole night through
Fight With a Fiddle
you were meant for meat
Moses supposes to mow down the dead

and the films main set piece.

A large song and dance number that involves the main actor, singing and Litterally killing in the rain with a machete. As the heads of the dead fly off and the blood sprays out like a geyser the rain turns red as he hacks and slashes his way to safety.

The end becomes an OTT vision of gore and music as they realise that the unknown actresses powerful voice has the ability to make the heads of the dead explode. The scene takes place in a theater as the dead scramble to get to the survivors on the stage.
(think Braindead with Roger's and Hammerstein music)

man i really want to see this film now..
