I faced a smiliar problem a year or so ago. The The best verion I
found was the Millemiun Edition. This version has audio commentary by
George Romero and several other people involved in the production of
this film.


Here is a link I found on a site to the DVD on amazon:

I woult totally avoid the 30th Anniversary Edition. This version as
new footage added in which totally changes the movie, and not in a
positive way.

The Millennium Edition. By a mile.

Long as that's the one in the red case, yeah... you DON'T want the one with the
"extra footage" added in... *shiver*

Yes. Avoid at all costs. My girlfriend had never seen the movie and I rented
that version accidentally; it was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever
seen. I can't imagine it was a sane person who decided the movie needed a
psychotic PREACHER to explain everything.

Anyway, the Millennium Edition with the red case and the gravestone on the
front from Elite is indeed the best DVD; it has two commentaries which are very
good and quite funny, and a few other neat extras (and some baffling ones).

Elite Entertainment's "Night Of The Living Dead: Millennium Edition" is the
best in Region One.

I have the added footage version just as a curiousity9it's pretty
silly). the red case Millienium edition is the definitive version.

Although this version (that I've seen at Walmart)

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...v=glance&s=dvd

is not too bad. Fairly decent transfer(probabaly taken from laserdisc)
but no extras. If you are not willing to go more than $10.00 this is the
version to get. But the quality is nothing compared to:

The Millienium edition is the one for the true movie lover with a state
of the art transfer and great extras:
