Two and a half decades before “The Walking Dead” made zombies mainstream on cable television, 19-year-old writer/director J.R. Bookwalter (“Ozone,” “Witchouse 2: Blood Coven”) embarked on “The Dead Next Door,” an ambitious horror feature pitting an elite team of Zombie Squad soldiers against hoards of the undead and the secretive religious cult hell-bent on protecting them. The film would ultimately take four years to complete with the help of a now-famous Hollywood director and more than 1,500 Northeast Ohio residents, who portrayed the multitudes of bloodthirsty ghouls. Tempe Digital’s DVD MOD release features the 4:3 master painstakingly created in 2015 from a 2K restoration using the original Super-8mm film elements along with a selection of key behind-the-scenes bonus materials and audio commentaries from previous releases.

STARRING: Bogdan Pecic, Jolie Jackunas, Michael Grossi, Peter Ferry, Robert Kokai
