New On Blu: Zombie
New on Blu-ray this Tuesday from Blue Underground - Lucio Fulci's 1979 classic gorefest Zombie:
"In Italy, it was considered the 'unofficial sequel' to DAWN OF THE DEAD. In England, it was known as ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS and banned as obscene. In America, it was called ZOMBIE and advertised with the depraved tag line "WE ARE GOING TO EAT YOU!" Tisa Farrow (THE GRIM REAPER), Ian McCulloch (CONTAMINATION), Al Cliver (CANNIBALS), and Richard Johnson (THE HAUNTING) star in this worldwide splatter sensation directed by 'Maestro Of Gore' Lucio Fulci (CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY) that remains one of the most eye-skewering, skin-ripping, gore-gushingly graphic horror hits of all time!
Blue Underground is proud to present ZOMBIE in a new 2K High Definition transfer from the original uncut and uncensored camera negative. Each flesh-eating frame has been lovingly restored to skull-rotting perfection under the supervision of Cinematographer Sergio Salvati (THE BEYOND). This is ZOMBIE like you've truly never seen or heard it before!"
Extras include: Audio Commentary (with Star Ian McCulloch and Diabolik Magazine Editor Jason J. Slater), theatrical trailers, TV spots, radio spots, a poster and stills gallery and an introduction by Guillermo del Toro.

New On DVD: Zombie A-Hole
"From the psycho that brought you The Puppet Monster Massacre"... Zombie A-Hole is brand new on DVD.
Directed by Dustin Mills and starring Jessica Daniels, Josh Eal and Brandon Salkil, Zombie A-Hole is a micro budget independent horror film that was reportedly shot for an estimated $3,000 and describes itself as "an action packed zombie slasher flick with grindhouse attitude".
"Zombie A-Hole takes place in a world that's a bit different from our own. A realm that teeters on the edge of sleaze and comic book stylized awesomeness. Its Planet Terror meets Sin City meets The Good The Bad & The Ugly. All the men are hard-asses, and all the women are bombshells. Just because vengeance is your way of life doesn't mean you can't look damn sexy while you dole out hearty doses of whoop-***. Everything is just a bit bigger and more interesting than their real life counterparts. This is a an exploitation flick with a southern gothic flair."
And it's hard to beat their marketing pitch - "Grab a copy and enjoy true independent insanity... also boobies... lots and lots of boobies."
Zombie A-Hole is available on DVD now.

Woods of Terror uses the always reliable 'kids in the woods' scenario to put three horror fans in the path of a zombie legend brought to life.
The two shorts are titled are Rise of the Living Corpse and Fitness Class Zombie.
