Zombi Holocaust (indiegogo)

[josuv22]

This is your opportunity to be involved in the remaster of Zombi Holocaust from the OCN.


What we plan to do

We began 88 Films with some HD debuts from Charlie Band's Full Moon Pictures enterprise - including PUPPET MASTER and SUBSPECIES - and now we embrace all sorts of sanguine-packed pot-boilers, from Troma's THE TOXIC AVENGER to the slice and dice sickie GRADUATION DAY. Coming soon, however, is one such work of video nasty era genius that we really want to deliver in a pristine new uncut print - Marino Girolami's masterpiece ZOMBI HOLOCAUST.

Also known as DOCTOR BUTCHER MD we have big plans for this classic flesh-feasting favourite, including a new feature length documentary: EATEN ALIVE: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE ITALIAN CANNIBAL FILM which highlights new interviews with such genre giants as Ruggero Deodato, Umberto Lenzi and Sergio Martino! Yet, we also have a dichotomy - as a team of two, with limited funds, how can we give you ZOMBI HOLOCAUST in the condition that you demand? The current transfer, as seen on the USA BluRay from Media Blasters, has been roundly criticised. This means we want to go one better - we want to give you a fresh presentation from a new scan of the original negative.

As such, we offer you this IndieGoGo - with some GREAT rewards - so that ZOMBI HOLOCAUST can finally be remastered in eye-wateringly awesome HD, and brought to you with the love and care that 88 Films wants to deliver.


What your money will finance
New HD transfer of the Original Negative without digital tampering
Dust and scratch cleanup and removal of damage
Full shot-by-shot grade
Restored English dub soundtrack
Italian soundtrack with newly created subtitles
Even more additional goodies (if we exceed our financing goal)


Goal of £7,500

Totally gonna do that!
I don't think the film is that great but I just love those small horror & cult labels and I love knowing those weird trashy movies are available in high quality

[oddbox83]

I have the US release of this guilty pleasure, and along with Burial Ground the existing HD master leaves much to be desired.

I'm very happy to support an upgrade!

I'm going to copy your post and share elsewhere (unless you don't want me to?)

share away the more people in the know the better for the project

[Mr. Thomsen]

I'm up for it, though it's kind of a bad month to this kind of fundraiser, one would think?

Can't remember the deal with Indiegogo - if they do not meet their goal, do they get to keep the money, or is the money returned to you?

The Level 10 deal sounds promising: £500 for 2 LE BD's of ZH, a t-shirt, your name of the slipcover and in the restoration credits, and the next 50 BD releases (!) from 88 Films.

Oh, well, Christmas is coming up, so I'll probably just end with the Level 1 deal.

It says that it's "flexed funding" meaning that they get the money whether they reach their goal or not.

And I agree that this is a bad month to start this. I just dropped $130 yesterday on preorders and still have a lot more to pick up.

[oddbox83]

I can't afford a great deal, so I'm just going for the £20 option. That's still a lot for a Blu-ray, but I get the exclusive backer slipcase and the good feeling of knowing I've contributed to something many (including myself!) will enjoy.

[asmodeux21]

If this campaign is successful, will "Burial Ground" get similar treatment?

[RandyK]

They've updated it to where you can replace the second copy of Zombi Holocaust (in any level) with either a Zombi Holocaust or Graduation Day shirt (medium or large only). They've also added a £40 add on pack with a Garduation Day shirt and your choice of 3 Blu-rays or DVDs.

If they're willing to print more shirts, I wish they would offer an XL size. I'd be all over that £35 level then. Maybe even the £40 level.

Thinking of getting Slasher Special 2 but £55 for 3 Blu-rays and a tee I wont wear seems too much when I could probably pick up the 3 for £30 or less on release

The current amazon prices are far more and remember that both the t-shirt and the ltd edition of Zombi Holocaust are exclusive to this campaign. And you can feel warm and snuggly at night knowing you have helped with restoring this classic from its original camera neg!

OK I'm in. Couldn't see where to specify t-shirt size though. Current total now £955.

Thanks!

Email us at info@88films.co.uk with your size (for both t-shirts) just so we have it on record!

Are all the options limited to releases up till December 31, or is that just for the 40 GP Slasher Special?

Thanks.

Thanks.

All options are limited to Dec 31st unless otherwise mentioned (i.e. the £55 option for Slasher Pack 2 and the £500 option which acts as a cheap subscription for our next 50 releases!)

Slipcover for Burial Ground has been added. A freebie to those who've contributed a lot, which is nice.

I don't see this

Perk 1.5 has been added for Burial Ground with slipcover for £20

Yeh would be nice if they add perk 2.5 so we can get both Ltd Slips for £35

Indeed it has. We didn't think exhausting everyone with another campaign was really the way to go - instead we are hoping that Burial Ground can find its own support via the Zombi Holocaust fundraiser. A huge thank you to everyone who has pledged and helped us - please keep spreading the news as we had no idea we could or would find another source for Burial Ground.

In answer to Anthro and Absurd - no label has these films for the UK. At the moment the rights situation is not allowing either to be available. If they were we suspect, much like The Burning, you would have seen them by now.
