The original version is definitive - the 30th anniversary release (in the UK at least) added on the aforementioned "burial" footage with the same actor in the role as the opening zombie, but this and other "new" scenes in this version were shot three decades after the original film by co-writer John A Russo and spliced in.
The result was always going to be desperate, with Bill Hinzman looking ridiculous in trying to look 30 years younger as the graveyard-zombie and all the "new" stuff looking and sounding terribly out of place.

I saw the "new" version with the added "new" scenes ("Directed by John Russo") once, a few years ago. It was interesting for a laugh, and I had fun watching it (I like the priest and his dog named "Mushu"--c'mon, it's funny in a totally weird way).
It does bother me, however, that people have been confused into thinking that the "new" version has anything to do with the actual film in its original cut. Those scenes were photographed and added nearly 30 (count 'em!) YEARS LATER, folks! By another director entirely! The original edit was the film that scared the bejesus out of so many people. See the MILENNIUM EDITION of NOTLD, in the metallic red case--it's been THXed, it looks and sounds better than it ever did, and it's a classic horror movie that's worth your time and money. It's also got enough special additional features to choke a couple of horses! I'll get down offa my soapbox now. Thank you! I know I'm sayin' a bunch of stuff that has already been posted by other people. But I wanted to reiterate, just because reading this thread in the morning makes my skin crawl. Time for oakmeal!

My version is by a company called Madacy Entertainment. There are no special features or anything extra, but it was $5 brand new, which was perfect. I also have another copy of NOTLD which is part of my boxed set of 50 classic horror movies. it's the same original version as the Madacy Entertainment one.

I really thought the footage in the anniversary version was unnecessary and a little obnoxious. The only interesting thing about it was the immunity to zombie-ism that the Preacher had, might have been cool to have this explored further throughout the quartet.

If they made a T-shirt that said
"SPIKE the dead!!" I would wear it, just to be stupid. or even "This is my dawg Moo-Shoo!"
