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!” Marking the 40th anniversary of Lucio Fulci’s ambitious, and squeamish to those with eye injury phobias, Zombie (Zombi) which premiered in Italy back in 1978; the beloved Italian-Horror is finally getting its due credit with a beautiful 4k restored Blu-Ray release from Blue Underground!
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.
This is a ZOMBIE release like never seen it before, bursting at the seams with hours of new and archival extras. It includes the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack CD by Fabio Frizzi (with an exclusive bonus track), a collectible booklet with a new essay by Stephen Thrower, and a ton of other killer bonus features.

Well, simply put- the data analyst team over at Frontier Bundlesselected 15 popular villains from classic, pre-2000 horror movies and used Google Trends to analyze their search volume in the last 12 months.
