Blue Underground: ‘Zombie’ and ‘Maniac’ Coming to 4K Ultra HD

The first two films to hit the format will be Lucio Fulci’s Zombie )1979) and William Lustig’s Maniac (1980), both of which received overwhelmingly positive feedback when the new masters appeared on Blu-ray in 2018.

Street date for both releases is May 26th, 2020, and Diabolik DVD is currently accepting pre-orders at the following links:
