About Me


Recently named one of the "Top 50 Essential Gore Films" by Rue Morgue magazine!
The landmark independent zombie shocker, now fully restored and packed with extras for the first time ever!
Writer/producer/director J.R. Bookwalter spent nearly 4 years — with the help of an uncredited, now-legendary Hollywood director — creating this low-budget yet ultra-violent epic about a nationwide attack by hungry hordes of the living dead. From the spectacle of zombies on the White House lawn to its relentless scenes of flesh-ripping carnage, this is the splatter sensation that Dark Star calls "a no-holds-barred, laugh-a-minute gorefest." True independent filmmaking doesn't come from bloated celebrities in Sundance, it lives — and screams — in the heart, soul and blood-drenched guts of the cult classic THE DEAD NEXT DOOR!
This long-awaited Special Edition has been digitally remastered from the original Super-8mm film elements, completed with updated opticals, a skull-blasting Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround remix and mind-blowing extras that include deleted scenes, rare behind-the-scenes footage, all-new interviews and much more!
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is coming from TempeSound on May 20, 2008! Available as a limited-edition CD from TempeVideo.com, Amazon.com and DeepDiscount.com with a downloadable version for sale in all iTunes stores worldwide, Amazon MP3, eMusic, Napster, Rhapsody, GroupieTunes and LaLa!
Buy it now on iTunes!
