Revist George A. Romero’s 1968 horror classic in an entirely new way. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is proud to present Night of the Animated Dead, a new, star-filled animated recreation of the horrifying Zombie hit that redefined the horror genre. You can also expect some never-before-seen, exclusive animated scenes that are not in the original live-action film. Zombie lovers can get their hands on a digital copy from September 21st or a physical copy from October 4th. However, there’s a twist. The Blu-Ray will be exclusive to HMV so make sure you pop in and claim your own copy.
In Night of the Animated Dead, siblings Barbara and Johnny visit their father’s grave in a remote cemetery in Pennsylvania when they are suddenly set upon by zombies. Barbara flees and takes refuge in an abandoned farmhouse along with stranded motorist Ben and four local survivors found hiding in the cellar. Together, the group must fight to stay alive against the oncoming horde of zombies while also confronting their own fears and prejudices.
For those who grab a physical copy, there is an exciting Special Feature that takes you behind the scenes. So join director Jason Axinn & Producer Michael Luisi as they regale fans with the careful process of honoring the iconic classic with their vision for an animated remake, including scene breakdowns and booth recordings with the cast.
Speaking of the cast… Are you ready to meet them? Night of the Animated Dead includes Josh Duhamel (Harry Cooper), Dulé Hill (Ben), Katharine Isabelle (Barbara), James Roday Rodriguez (Tom), Katee Sackhoff (Judy), Will Sasso (Sheriff McClelland), Jimmi Simpson (Johnny) and Nancy Travis (Helen Cooper).
