    List of Changes:

      • Change #1 - pscaled.  Unlike the US Anchor Bay release, Arrow haven’t gone overboard with DNR and the picture is a little grainy but this is a small price to pay for a more realistic depiction of the source material and you don’t lose detail when the picture is ‘smoothed out’.  The colours are very good and the size of the Monroeville Mall makes it a perfect location – having a huge place to yourself isn’t necessarily much better than being under siege in a small farmhouse.  Cinematographer Michael Gornick did a great job of lighting the enormous set and making the exteriors look as good as they do.   <newline>  <newline>As the first of the [i]Dead[/i] Trilogy to be shot in colour, the decision had to be made as to what colour the undead should be, with Savini settling on a grey hue.  The made the appearance of the ghouls change under different lighting conditions, with some blue, some slightly green and the rest grey – I quite like this as no one really knows what a reanimated corpse would look like! <newline>  <newline>Sav
