Blue Underground has dug up plans to throw some zombies into the Halloween mix with the release of The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue on Blu-ray Disc October 27. In The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue, a pair of traveling companions, George (Ray Lovelock) and Edna (Christine Galbo), come across a small town infested with the "living dead" that are satisfying their cannibalistic hunger on anyone they come across. Discovering that an agricultural machine using radiation waves is at the root of all the havoc, George and Edna fight for survival and their innocence as they are pursued by a relentless detective (Arthur Kennedy) who is convinced they are responsible for the ghoulish acts of violence plaguing the countryside. The 1974 zombie cult classic from Spanish director Jorge Grau has been fully restored from the original camera negatives into 1080p 1.85:1 1080p video. The audio has likewise been remixed into lossless 7.1 DTS-hd Master Audio. »
