Full Moon Features has announced the upcoming Blu-ray and DVD release of one of the greatest European Gothic horror films of the 1970s: Director Jose Luis Merino's eerie and erotic masterwork Orgy of the Living Dead!
Full Moon will present the film fully uncut for the first time in America, remastered from the original 35mm negative.
Also released as The Hanging Woman, Beyond the Living Dead and Return of the Zombies, Merino's terrifying chiller is filled with atmosphere, dread, nudity, gore and zombies galore and also features memorable appearances by Frankenstein's Bloody Terror's Aurora de Alba and Spasmo's Maria Pia Conte.
In the film, "When handsome gentleman Serge (Stelvio Rosi) arrives in a quiet 19th century European village for the reading of his late uncle's will, he immediately enters a nightmare world of mad science, murder and reanimated corpses. First, his cousin is found murdered, hanging by a cemetery tree, a crime that leads Serge to the subterranean lair of a psychotic doctor (Gerard Tichy) and his comely daughter (Dyanik Zurakowska, The Vampires' Night Orgy) who, along with their necrophiliac hunchback slave Igor (horror legend Paul Naschy in one of his weirdest roles) is experimenting with bringing the dead back to life. As Serge gets closer to uncovering the ghoulish secrets of his Uncle's demise, the mystery deepens and the orgy of horror begins."
Orgy of the Living Dead will be on sale in late July exclusively at FullMoonDirect.com, with premiere streaming dates at fullmoonfeatures.com and Full Moon's Amazon Channel to be announced.
The film is part of an exciting multi-picture Euro Horror licensing deal that will see Full Moon releasing several obscure genre films fully uncut and remastered, including such rarely seen titles as the Italian/Turkish Klaus Kinski thrillers The Hand That Feeds the Dead and Lover of the Monster.
