I recently aquired a copy of the film workprint. What a joy to watch. It is essentially the entire film in its final cut with orginal sound.

There is no music, fx, foley, no adr, no grading ...

There are periods of complete silence where they recorded no sound, there are pictures in place of certain shots. It really emphasizes the importance of the final editing in regards to post production.

There is a temp soundtrack iwhen Linnea Quigley is dancing on the coffin as well as some scenes that never made the final theatrical version.

Adding the layers of sound, the score, fx and foley sounds, etc. That can be an art in itself.

Great film and kind of fun to see in such a raw state.
 
Yes there is !

Many scenes and lines and shots showing up I've never seen; I'm watching right now, loving it !

They have storyboards in some places where FX shots were. The scene where Tarman attacks Tina is even creepier here becasue there is no soundtrack; just her screaming
 
Another thing that stands out is the acting

Aside form being obviously professional, it is their lines and the way they deliever them even in the scenes that are regualr talking (Not when zmobies are attacking)

They deliever them with some color and purpose. Even without all of the sugar coated all over the film, it is still believable and fun to watch.

The actors we tend to see in our DVXFESTS alwys seem to deliever sort of deadpan or understated; lacking emotions.

Just an observation
