Tom Savini’s 1990 version of George A. Romero’s classic Night of the Living Dead starring the late Tony Todd is getting an uncut release next year.
Savini revealed the following details about the re-release of the film in a conversation he took part in at the latest Frightmare in the Falls convention:
“If you like that movie, next year something very wonderful is going to happen with that movie. It’s gonna be re-released by Sony and it’s gonna be completely uncensored and uncut. They really put a lot into it. My original thought was, the movie should start in black & white and then eventually become color as an homage to the original film and then this is the new one, and that’s exactly what’s going to happen now. I used to say the movie was only 30% of what I intended, now it’s more like 60.”
Night of the Living Dead 1990 completely uncut? What a treat that’s going to be for horror fans.
