Think you've seen Lucio Fulci's Zombie (1979) in all of its pus-oozing, worm-ridden, zombie shark fighting glory? Then think again, son.
The fine folks at Blue Underground have digitally remastered and restored this splatter classic to its original gory glory, and in advance of an October 25 Blu-ray release they're sharing the undead love with special midnight screenings October 21 & 22 all across the US and Canada. Seeing a cult classic on the big screen is an unparalleled moviegoing experience, and with the buzz coming from the restoration's premiere at Fantastic Fest, this is guaranteed to be one of the hottest tickets this Halloween season.
"Hey, Mr. Skin! How about some flesh that isn't putrefying?" you ask.Well, Zombie features Italian eyeful Auretta Gay doffing her top to fight underwater zombies and Greek goddess Olga Karlatos baring boobs and butt as we (and a horde of hungry creatures) watch her getting out of the shower. So you'll be spewing in more ways than one...
Check out the trailer for the nude and improved Zombie:
