AnchorBay UK have announced Evil Dead - Book of the Dead limited edition for release 18th March 2002 priced at £19.99. Here are the details from the PR:
On 18th March 2002, Anchor Bay Entertainment UK will release a limited edition of The Evil Dead on DVD with plenty of special features such as 'Within the Woods' (the original short film that inspired The Evil Dead) and a documentary by Bruce Campbell. The DVD is presented within the pages of The Book of The Dead which has been sculpted and illustrated by Tom Sullivan, who created the Necronomicon, dagger, and other special effects for the original film.
Crafted to look like the nasty tree from that scene in the film, the jacket of the book is made to look as if it has been formed from flesh in weird spongy latex. Inside are illustrations of skulls, demons, decapitated bodies and mysterious symbols.
The DVD features a choice of Dolby 5.1 surround sound or Digital Surround 6.1 and the aspect ratio is 16x9/1.85:1. Extra features include the US trailer and audio commentaries by Sam Raimi, producer Robert Tapert and Bruce Campbell, Fanalysis, an all new 26 minute documentary by Bruce Campbell, 'Within the Woods', a theatrical trailer, TV spots, and talent biographies. Even more material is accessed by 'easter eggs' which lead to previously unseen behind-the-scenes' footage. This is a DVD that every horror enthusiast will covet.
