Dear TCM: ‘Night of the Lepus’ is no substitute for ‘Night of the Living Dead’

October 31, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

I thought something bizarre was going on when I scanned tonight’s Halloween offerings on TCM and spotted Night of the Lepus (i.e., the one about the giant man-eating rabbits) in the important 9:30PM spot.

Turns out, that’s what they’re broadcasting here in Canada.

American viewers get NofLD.

Not that I want to see NotLD again, and if I do I have my own copy, but really guys?!

PS: I thought NofLD was public domain, which was why it got shown so much in the first place. So…?

UPDATE: I was right.

Please explain and/or update Wikipedia.
