Synopsis:
Unsilent Films presents: Re-score, re-edit and re-grade for the Night of The Living Dead
Intentions:
A full sound re-design, editing mistake fixes and a darker color grading
Change List:
- The original (stock) music has been replaced by dark ambient soundscapes and disturbing drones. Except for the iconic music in the opening credits and end titles. Mostly made with Lyra-8, which is controlled telepathically, while viewing 'Night of the Living Dead'.
- Almost all sound effects have been replaced, altered or enhanced to create a new sonic experience. Subwoofer is recommended.
- The picture has been completely re-graded / de-graded. All I can say that it is very different. Instead of perfection, I aimed at a darker atmosphere.
- Original editing mistakes have been fixed. Some frames have been sipmly cut e.g. where Dwayne opens a door - it’s supposed to be night time but you can clearly see daylight coming through the door. Or in a few scenes, during the evening bright day light is clearly coming through the window (fixed by darkening the windows). Probably most viewers haven’t ever even noticed these slight errors.
- In a few fight scenes, where Dwayne hits zombies so painfully slow that he looks as slow as a zombie, the action has been speeded up. Then again, the zombie, who attacks Barbara while she is in a car, moves way too fast compared to all other zombies in the Night of the Living Dead. The moving rate of that zombie has been partially reduced. Then, the car rolling down the hill is sped up... Again, these are very slight changes.
- In addition to the few frames removed here-and-there, three scenes have been trimmed:
- The “love talk” scene between Tom & Judy is slightly less long
- The beginning of the very-repetitive TV-interview about the mysterious radiation is cut
- The piece of dialog where Dwayne says that "those things make no sound" is cut
- Some tiny bits and pieces have been re-arranged
