2016 is shaping up to be quite the year for Bob Clark fans. With Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things scheduled to hit Blu-ray in a couple of weeks from VCI, we’ve just learned Deathdream (aka Dead of Night) will be following suit thanks to Germany’s Subkultur Entertainment. No specific release date yet but the target date is sometime in March or April.
The film has received a 2k restoration and will be uncut. Previously the complete, uncut ending of the film was only available via VHS. The film will be part of Subkultur’s Grindhouse Collection which includes titles like Don’t Go in the House, Cannibal Man and Switchblade Sisters. The release will be region B.
Deathdream was Clark’s second collaboration with writer Alan Ormsby, following Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things. The film stars Richard Backus, John Marley, Lynn Carlin and features the special makeup effects work of Tom Savini.
Synopsis:
A young man killed in Vietnam inexplicably returns home as a zombie.
