Hi all. Continuing my futile quest to bring my horror collection up to date, I'm currently investigating the 6 "Dead" movies. I'd like some help on which are THE editions to get:

Night of the Living Dead

Dawn of the Dead

Day of the Dead

Evil Dead

Evil Dead 2

Dead of Darkness (wait, that's not it...)

Any help? I got scared after reading that thread on the 30th Anniversary NotLD

Haven't we already done this:

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD

The Elite Millennium Edition. Sweet transfer, lots of extras.

DAWN OF THE DEAD

Wait. Anchor Bay are prepping a super boxset, although there's a funky Dutch one with the Romero director's cut and the Argento cut. Wait though.

DAY OF THE DEAD

Anchor Bay's new Divimax is excellent.

THE EVIL DEAD

While purists might prefer the 4:3 Elite edition, the Book of the Dead version is awesome, with a very nice transfer, an amazing DTS ES soundtrack and oodles of extras.

EVIL DEAD II

The Anchor Bay tin. I wouldn't be surprised to see another one along the way soon, but for now, this is the best edition.

Go for the Boomstick Edition. IIRC, it's just a repackage of the infamous 2-disc limited edition.

Anyone want to buy my Army of Darkness limited edition director's cut? I paid fifty bucks for it when it was hard to get... now they've re-released it twice since.

Any purists who just HAVE to have the gold plastic case with a limited ed. number 02447 out of 40,000?

Sigh. Read all about the stuff I'm selling <a href="http://half.ebay.com/shops/shops.jsp?member_name=maddogmike96" target="_blank">here.</a>

Astro, no respectable "dead" collection is complete without the LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE tin ... IMHO, it would fit neatly at #3 on that list of yours in terms of zombie greatness ...
