Looks pretty much like a replica of the outstanding Anchor Bay four disc set I have.

The Blu Ray is minus the mono audio on the Theatrical Cut.

Not on DVD. This is a new DVD set (for the UK at least).

Nope. I didn't grow up on zombie movies or Romero and am not a fan. I don't recognise any of the actors.

The cast was a giveaway for me... but it wouldn't have hurt to include the actual title in the header.
