Day Of The Dead - Tragedy / Triumph of one of Anchor Bay's most beloved releases
Q: Were there any missteps that you wish could have been avoided with the Day of the Dead release?
The audio track replacement and color timing issues were regrettable, as was the delayed discovery of the production hiccup; however, taking away from that, the edition still stands as a strong achievement in packaging and bonus material density.
Day Of The Dead - Tragedy / Triumph of one of Anchor Bay's most beloved releases
Q: What were some of the biggest challenges you faced during packaging and production?
The biggest challenges were budget constraints, navigating multiple quotes, coordinating with an LA team during a corporate transition, and ensuring the die-cut embossing and overall presentation matched the original creative intent while staying cost-effective.
Day Of The Dead - Tragedy / Triumph of one of Anchor Bay's most beloved releases
Q: Now, was that Day of the Dead Day one of your brainchildren in terms of redoing the edition with new packaging?
Yes, after relicensing the catalog, we decided to pursue a new Day of the Dead edition, aiming for a more media-art inspired look and a more durable, premium packaging, even during a chaotic transition period for the company.
Night Of The Living Dead 30th Anniversary Edition
Q: What made the 30th Anniversary edition different from previous Night of the Living Dead releases?
The edition was pitched as a re-release with new footage and a new score, evolving from a simple reissue to a hybrid offering that included additional material intended to refresh the property for fans, though it faced questions about whether it should have also included the original unaltered version.
