In 1968, Night of the Living Dead changed the landscape of the American horror film. A mistake on the part of the Producers and Distributors, as well as outdated copyright law, left the film without enforceable federal copyright protection from the waves of home video distributors that sprang up from the 1980s to the present. Hundreds of different VHS, Betamax, Laserdisc, DVD, Blu-Ray and a myriad of other niche formats have been released worldwide.

Author and Living Dead collector Geoff Turner has meticulously cataloged video box art, promotional materials and distribution details gathered from collectors around the globe to assemble the definitive compendium of the home video history of Night of the Living Dead.

This new expanded edition features:

• New cover artwork by Rick Catizone (Animator for Night of the Living Dead, Creepshow, Evil Dead 2, and more)
• 305 pages, full color, 8.5”x11”, hardcover
• 10 additional chapters covering the entire distribution history of the film
• 11 new appendices covering a range of topics related to NotLD and physical media
• Updated physical media checklists for all major formats cataloging nearly 650 variant releases from 26 countries
• Officially licensed by Image Ten, Inc., the original producers of Night of the Living Dead

Includes VHS bookmark and signed bookplate.
