Never saw it Rob. I'm a classic movie buff, but this just never grabbed me. I suppose I'll HAVE to some day though.

TCM runs it pretty frequently.  It's a huge epic with great cinematography.  Great on a big screen.  The first ime I saw it was was after it had been restored and re-released in theatres in cities around the U.S.  I went to Philadelphia to watch it (and check the comic book stores).  This may have 15 years or so ago.  They even did the intermission.

Well, I'm going to have TCM by next week so I'll keep an eye out for it. I just dumped my Comcast cable and home phone and I'm  getting a DirecTV box, and THAT has TCM (YAYYY!!) . My mother-in-law has DirecTV in her room (lots of Spanish channels for her) and now my cable/phone bill will drop from $99 per month to $6 per month just paying for the extra box.

Comcast cable service $70 PER MONTH.
Comcast unlimited phone service $29 PER MONTH.
Dumping them both and cutting my bill by $93 dollars per month while picking up TCM?? PRICELESS.

Yesterday picked up the "40th Anniversary" Dimension EXTREME Films' GEORGE A. ROMERO'S [original] NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (2008 release) for $3.00, more for the extras than anything, but well worth three bucks if you see it. The Romero interview is worth that.

The "remastered and restored" film looks great, too.

Picked that one up a few weeks ago. Only had it in a PD collection, before.

Got 1960's Village and Children of the Damn double feature for $3 at Big Lots today.

One I noticed at Walmart today!  4 Film Zombie; Dead Snow, Pontypool, I Sell the Dead and Doghouse $9.98!  Not a bad price at all for some decent-modern day horror flicks (Though I haven't seen Pontypool yet.)!  The films are all widescreen/unrated, no bonus features listed though!  I'll probably pick it up next week.

Great DVD. The studio extra of the Duane Jones interview is with the disc.

Pretty much copied the first one but with CGI and of course different characters!  I personally thought it was pretty decent.

Yeah, if you like the Carpenter movie, you should like this one.

Well, I did like the Carpenter movie.  I thought it was an interesting take on the old classic.

I still remember that during the transformation scenes, audience members could be seen putting down their snacks all over the theater.

Putting down and throwing up!  :laugh:

This new one has a combo of make-up/puppets and CGI. Without saying too much, I liked the way they tied into the Carpenter movie in very specific ways.
