i alread posted this in the blu-ray release buzz, but it's worth mentioning here as well.

This is your opportunity to be involved in the remaster of Zombi Holocaust from the OCN.
Who we are
Horror has a home at 88 Films. For the past two years we have attempted to build our little label, headed by two unassuming guys from Leicester, into a company that answers the prayers of shock-cinema fans across the UK. From our Slasher Classics Collection, to the launch of 88 Italian, we want to be the most fan-friendly DVD outfit on the planet - bringing classics, and cult obscurities, to British shelves.
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
A little bit more about Eaten Alive
EATEN ALIVE! THE RISE AND FALL OF THE ITALIAN CANNIBAL FILM is an upcoming feature length documentary, produced for our BluRay release of ZOMBI HOLOCAUST (1980). Don't let the name deceive you though - this awesome arterial-spraying sickie is actually a cross-pollination of ghoulish thunder and tribal torment that successfully works as both a cannibal creeper and a Fulci-esque creature feature. And in some ways it even represents the very last creative breath of jungle jaunting!
EATEN ALIVE! THE RISE AND FALL OF THE ITALIAN CANNIBAL FILM will, of course, focus on spaghetti splatter's most controversial movie genre. Insitgated by Umberto Lenzi's Thai-set THE MAN FROM DEEP RIVER (1972), and reaching a notorious peak with Ruggero Deodato's horrifying CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST (1980), the form would eventually fade from view with such lesser known romps as AMAZONIA (1985) and MASSACRE IN DINOSAUR VALLEY (1985). More recently, with the Hollywood-made WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE (2007), and Eli Roth's THE GREEN INFERNO, terrifying tales of meat-muncing tribes have made their return to the big screen. As such, the time is ripe to share some of the true stories behind the making of some of shock cinema's most stomach turning shockers.
With EATEN ALIVE! THE RISE AND FALL OF THE ITALIAN CANNIBAL FILM, High Rising Productions and 88 Films turn the camera upon such groundbreaking filmmakers as Lenzi, Deodato and MOUNTAIN OF THE CANNIBAL GOD's Sergio Martino. Also participating are LAST CANNIBAL WORLD actress Me Me Lai, in her first ever recorded interview, CANNIBAL FEROX's main man Giovanni Lombardo Radice and HOLOCAUST's Robert Kerman. Offering a critical perspective are respected journalists John Martin and Kim Newman, author Mikel Koven, academic Shelagh Rowan Legg, director Luigi Cozzi (CONTAMINATION) and Italian genre scholar and screenwriter Antonio Tentori (CAT IN THE BRAIN).
EATEN ALIVE! THE RISE AND FALL OF THE ITALIAN CANNIBAL FILM is the "one that goes all the way" - probing into the facts behind the legends and revealing how a trend that has fascinated, and revolted, viewers in equal measures first came to prominence. From the exotic locations to the most controversial aspects of these frequently censored eat-a-thons - everything is explored, including - of course - the idiosyncratic identity of ZOMBI HOLOCAUST itself: a bizarre blend of native fry-up and living dead delirium!
When will this happen
As soon as the campaign had finished the restoration work will commence and the special features will be created. We anticipate being able to deliver finished stock in April.
