Big Box version of George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead Zombies Intervision Video Pre Cert – there is no certificate on the cover or the tape.

A lot of Tom Savini’s Special effects are cut from this release, Exploding head and Machete Zombie are missing.

This pre cert video was available in the UK during the early 1980’s.
Although Zombies Dawn of the Dead was not on the so called DPP Banned list, it did get caught up in the Video Nasty controversy.
According to MelonFarmers.co.uk , The film was seized by the police during the Video Nasties moral panic but was not prosecuted. The seizure was noted as a Section 3 seizure under the Obscene Prosecutions Act whereby the seizure is legally recorded but that is the end of the matter for the supplier.

Due to the movie not having a certificate this was eventually taken off the shelves in video stores and Dawn of the Dead was not re issued until the late 1980’s when Entertainment in Video released their version, now with the original “Dawn of the Dead” with an 18 Certificate.
