Full Details On THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD Collector’s Edition!

Bringing you the best in Horror Movie News, and all things Horror.

Writer/director Dan O’Bannon puts an uproarious spin on the zombie apocalypse movie in 1985’s cult classic THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, which stars Clu Gulager, James Karen and Don Calfa. Considered one of the campiest undead flick of its time, the film helped launch the career of scream queen Linnea Quigley and features a killer soundtrack with tracks from many songs from punk artists such as The Cramps, T.S.O.L. SSQ and 45 Grave.

Now the film is to be immortalized by Scream Factory as they prepare to release THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD onto Blu-ray in the form of a Collector’s Edition.

This definitive set includes a collectible slipcover featuring newly rendered artwork and a reversible cover wrap featuring original theatrical key art.
