There is a "new" Millennium Edition at play.com through PlayTrade (ebay style).
€15,- from a good seller, cheaper from a somewhat less rated one.

Might get that one.

Again ty to all posters.
I'm sure this does not only help me but many others.

Yes you are right.

I saw it before but it didn't say anything like Millennium Edition or Special Edition etc so I glanched over it since the first 20 hits were all the same movie only different editions and covers etc.

But then I saw the cover at play.com you just reminded me to check again at amazon.
I'll just buy the Millennium Edition there from a 3rd party (new) then.

This is the version with the most extra's, B&W & color and 2 commentaries if I'm correct right?
I'm a sucker for commentaries .

The Millenium Edition of NOTLD released be Elite Entertainment is, by far, the best release to date with tons of extras:

Thx Transfer
Trailers/TV Spots
Dual Commentary Tracks featuring creator/director George A. Romero and the entire cast
Film Parody "Night of the Living Bread"
Original Mono Soundtrack
DD 5.1 Remix
Still Photo Gallery, featuring rare color photos
The History of Romero's company—The Latent Image
Scenes from the "lost" Romero film, "There's Always Vanilla"
Video interview with "Night of the Living Dead's" Judy Ridley
Final interview by star Duane Jones
Foreign and Domestic posters and collectibles
Original Props
The entire original shooting script
Cast members' personal scrapbooks
Romero directed TV spots and short films
and last, but not least...
A full color insert featuring liner notes by Stephen King.

I mentioned this version in my first post.  I agree with Max 100% this is the best transfer with the best sound.  The special features are fun as well.  But the nicest thing about this version is the print was well preserved and therefore is not muddy.  If you can get the Millennium edition it IS the way to go.

I was rather anxious to see Doomsday, since I really liked Dog Soldiers and The Descent. It isn't total crap, but compared to his first two movies, it is a lot less interesting. The movie has some fine moments, but as a whole it's not of the same quality. Owning his first two movies on DVD, this one will not be included in my collection.

You might like to consider 'The Last Man on Earth' starring the late Vincent Price. I append below an earlier message I wrote on this film, which contains further information (and - just in case, as a zombie fan - you ever come across the answer to my query).

<<The U.K. dvd cover for the film 'The Last Man on Earth' (1964) gives the name of the director as Ubaldo Ragona. The film's rolling credits give the name of the director as Sidney Salkow. Both names are in the Invelos database for this film.  I checked with IMDB which shows 'Ubaldo B Ragona' as director on the Italian prints, and 'Sidney Salkow' as uncredited on the Italian prints.

Purely as a matter of interest, do any of you zombie/vampire/movie trivia fans out there know why this is? Presumably there were two directors on the film, but were they working jointly or did one replace the other? Was there any conflict, or was it a language issue?

This is the film based on Richard Mathieson's book 'I Legend' which has recently been re-adapted
under the same title with Will Smith in the lead role. A previous incarnation had been with Charlton Heston in the lead role under the title 'The Omega Man.'>>

Hope this helps your search for zombie movies.

Thanks northbloke, your explanation sounds entirely credible to me.

Christopher Lee, in his autobiography, has some amusing anecdotes about making films in Italy, including
arbitrary changes in the credits after shooting.

I'm not a particular fan of the zombie/vampire genre, but am interested in the evolution of the
Dracula / Nosferatu legend on film. Recently watched a movie on television titled 'Ravenous' starring
the U.K's Robert Carlisle no less. along with Guy Pearce. A 'western' filmed in Romania and well worth
a watch if it comes around again.
