Evidently a company named Passmorelab based out of CA took Romero's original Night of the Living Dead, cleaned it up to high quality, rendered it into color, then converted the entire film to 3D.

Here is the link to the site:

If this was done correctly, consider me sold. I couldn't however find a stereoscopic preview anywhere on the web (though there are a couple previews for some of their other films that were filmed in 3d).

I've emailed asking if this would be available for purchase anytime soon or if they would be interested in sharing a stereoscopic preview to the public, once I hear back I'll definitely share the response. The project from what I can gather was completed in 2009.

Fingers crossed people, what a fantastic movie to convert (provided the conversion was done correctly..........)

More soon I hope!

If you like the idea of Classic Old Horror Movies converted to 3D, you could always buy and download my Carnival of Souls 3D conversion!!

I'd be interested in NOTLD 3D in stereo 3D compared to the recent anaglyph Sid Haig version NOTLD 3D in black and white about ten years ago.

Of course it'd be nice if a percent of the profits were donated from the company to Romero, as he originally lost the copyright due to an oversight back before the copyright law was revised.

I'd have to see how strong the 3D was before deciding.
Also interested in Creature Black Lagoon 3D.

OFF TOPIC:
Yes, Carnival of Souls recommended in side by side view stereo 3D so you can watch it on your 3DTV instead of an anaglyph version with red/cyan glasses. For one guy converting the entire movie, I was impressed. Would also be nice if the side by side version was offered on DVD from Gaetano. Then just put it into your blu ray player, set your 3DTV to side by side and go.

Haha - yeah you'll get a purchase from me soon, but not until I can burn it to disc (I don't stream my computer to the TV nor do I use a 3D monitor). The clips I have seen, it looks very good especially since you went frame for frame mapping it out.

Side note Gae - I completely fell off my conversion project, it's just too exhausting. The irony is there are programs out there that can easily make everything smoother and faster but unless you're ready to drop 4-5 figures on software, it's not conveniently priced for your average consumer.

And I don't sale the high seas if you know what I'm saying... Arrrgh, not my style, I like to buy lol..

It is the most laborious and time consuming process to do, especially on your own. I'm stubborn though and was determined to at least complete one movie conversion. I also started to convert House on Haunted Hill (the 12 minute opening is included with a COS purchase) but by the time I started it, I'd had enough of the whole process. I was drawing depth maps for every 5-10 frames, batch merging them and then having to fine tune and rotoscope areas that overlapped and created noticeable distortions. It was an incredibly slow process and in the end, too tedious. I'm glad I did carnival of Souls though, but it was definitely a one-off project.

Can I ask how you view your 3D JSmith82? The downloadable side by side AVI file of Carnival of Souls 3D could be burned to a disc or even downloaded to a USB stick and viewed if you have a Player that can read AVI files. Alternatively it can easily be converted to MP4 etc using freeware like Virtualdub or AviDemux.

Zivouhr, Creature from the Black Lagoon has great 3D in it..especially the underwater shots and shots in the Grotto. You realize that it's not a conversion though don't you?

In that case I may give it a go, I've never screened a downloaded burned movie before with my 3DBR player but my TV can view horizontal or vertical split films so in theory it should work. How big is the file btw?

4.15 Gb so it could be fit on a DVD+R. You can read all the information at the Download page

So I was feeling froggy this morning.

I emailed Passmore today, requested basically the same information - will this be released, is there a way to obtain a copy for personal use, are there any plans for this in the future, etc.

Hopefully I'll get something back this time...
