James: “You can get a raise from me alright but it has nothing to do with money!”
Release:
The film was released in Italy on 9th July 1981.
During the 1980s, the film was difficult to get a hold of in the UK in its uncut form due to the stricter rules regarding the Video Recordings Act of 1984. It was instead released on video in a heavily censored form under the title Nights of Terror, with a whopping 10 minutes and 6 seconds pre-cut by the distributors and then it was cut 3 minutes and 11 secs by the BBFC!
As of 2004, the film has been available uncut in the UK under the title The Zombie Dead and on March 28, 2016, it was issued on Blu-ray by 88 Films.
