As per a recent update to the crowd-funding project's homepage, both the late James Karen and Don Calfa will also be making appearances in the film courtesy of "the magic of CGI." Trash's Revenge currently has a total fundraising goal of £75,000.

Forty years ago, writer/director Dan O’Bannon delivered one of the most highly entertaining zombie movies of all time with The Return of the Living Dead (watch it Here). A company called Living Dead Media LLC claims to own the copyright to the original screenplay and the underlying script for that film, as well as other trademarks, which is how they’re able to move ahead with a new Return of the Living Dead film that’s aiming for a Christmas 2025 release.

A new meta-project tied to the popular horror franchise Return of the Living Dead will bring two of the original film's stars back from the beyond. The film, titled Trash's Revenge, will see the, well, return of Return of the Living Dead actors Linnea Quigley, Beverly Randolph, Thom Mathews, Miguel Nunez, John Philbin, and, "through the magic of CGI," deceased actors James Karen and Don Calfa, Bloody Disgusting reports. Karen and Calfa, both veteran character actors with long careers in movies and TV, famously played Frank and Ernie, respectively, in the first film in the comedy horror series. Karen passed away in 2018, and Calfa in 2016. It isn't clear how extensive their appearances in Trash's Revenge will be, but no doubt the use of CGI to bring them back to screens will be deeply controversial.

August of 1985 saw the release of one of the great zombie movies of all time. And we’re not talking about George Romero’s Day of the Dead, though some will argue that particular sequel deserves to be in the conversation. We’re talking about Dan O’Bannon’s punk-rock horror-comedy The Return of the Living Dead, which introduced the world to speedy, brain-craving zombies – who also have a thing or two to say when they’re feeling chatty. The movie was by no means a blockbuster, but it did very respectable business, making around $30 million worldwide off of a budget in the low single digits. Naturally, a follow-up would be necessary in the eyes of that film’s producer Tom Fox, who assumed the Living Dead title was due for the franchise treatment in the vein of Friday the 13th. It would take three years, but we did eventually get...

We learned just last week that the long-dormant Return of the Living Dead franchise will return next Christmas with a brand new sequel from Living Dead Media and director Steve Wolsh (Muck, Kill Her Goats). The Christmas-themed horror sequel is set in 1985, 18 months after the events of the original film, and you can watch the first teaser here.

Oddly enough, that’s not even the only Return of the Living Dead movie on the horizon. Remember that legal battle over the rights that we reported on this past summer? Well, it looks like the other party that had been competing with Living Dead Media on the rights (Rotld Originals LLC) has come up with their own sequel project, titled Trash’s Revenge.

Brains! That's what it takes to make a good zombie movie these days. While the horror genre had a renaissance in the early 2000s, the leg-dragging flesh feasters have waned in popularity recently. Writer/Director Steve Wolsh of Living Dead Media is hoping to turn that around with a holiday twist on the Return of The Living Dead franchise. While details on the production are scant, Wolsh is getting some interesting pieces in order.

Wolsh spoke with The Hollywood Reporter and said that the film won't be a reboot but a sequel to the 1985 original, directed by Dan O’Bannon, and called the installment "a brand new adventure." He also confirmed that this film will use practical effects and real locations instead of greenscreen, which some may argue has robbed the potency and visceral power of the zombie genre in this century. Wolsh reflected on the practical effects teased in the...

But last month, a new company called Rotld Originals LLC was formed, with Return of the Living Dead cast member Beverly Randolph, a.k.a. Beverly Dawn Hartley, signing the formation document.

One of the greatest horror-comedies of all time, Dan O’Bannon’s 1985 movie The Return of the Living Dead ended up launching a franchise that to date includes five total movies, but it’s been nearly twenty years since the direct-to-video release of fourth and fifth installments Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis and Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave.

What’s the latest on the franchise, you might be wondering? Well, we had learned just about a year ago that rights holders Living Dead Media were planning a Return of the Living Dead reboot with Steve Wolsh (Muck, Kill Her Goats) attached to direct, this information gleaned from the company’s official website. That website, it seems, is no longer online.

Living Dead Media said last year, “Our reboot of Return of the Living Dead will expand the existing world created by the original 5 films, while staying true to the R-rated,...

The 1985 zombie horror comedy The Return of the Living Dead (watch it Here) has some awesome poster art, featuring green-skinned zombies that are “back from the dead and ready to party”.

The 1985 zombie horror comedy The Return of the Living Dead (watch it Here) is one of my all-time favorite movies, and every now and then I like to look up the filming locations of my favorites to see what they look like these days. By watching a Sean Clark video on the locations used to bring The Return of the Living Dead to the screen, I learned that the building that stood in for the Uneeda medical supply warehouse in the movie has been converted into a private residence. So I looked up this address – 698 Moulton Avenue in Los Angeles, California – and learned that the Uneeda-building-turned-private-residence is now on the market! The property is listed on Zillow, with plenty of pictures showing off what the place looks like now that it’s a home with three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a private pool.

No Solicitors is a new dark horror comedy from writer and director John Callas, which has been selected to play at the Horror-on-Sea Film Festival on Saturday 27th January. I got chance to ask John about the inspiration for writing the film, making it a dark comedy and working with the talented cast.

What can we expect from the film?

A fun night of entertainment – a laugh here and there – and a taste of blood for those who expect it in a horror film. There is a statement about consumerism as well. I started out to write an intelligent horror film and I hope I am giving the audience memorable moments.

What was your inspiration for writing No Solicitors?

Reviews like this are tough, because a movie like Return of the Living Dead has been discussed-to-death on the internet for at least the last two decades. What can one possibly say that another hasn’t already? In addition to that, this is also the third Blu-ray release of the film I have seen. There was the disappointing MGM release in 2010, and then much better Second Sight release from the UK that dropped in 2012 and resurrected the original audio track containing the songs that were cut from the Us release. And here comes Scream Factory to topple them all. Sorry to spoil my review, but this is the definitive Blu-ray release of Return of the Living Dead. I have never seen this movie look so beautiful in all the years I have watched it. Couple with that, the fact that there are several audio options for you to choose from,...

“On his first day on the job at a medical supply warehouse, poor Freddy (Thom Mathews) unwittingly releases toxic gas from a secret U.S. military canister, unleashing an unbelievable terror. The gas reanimates an army of corpses, who arise from their graves with a ravenous hunger… for human brains! And luckily for those carnivorous cadavers, there is a group of partying teens nearby, just waiting to be eaten!

It’s hard to believe that the same year George A. Romero released Day of the Dead, the ultra-gory, ultra-bleak conclusion of the trilogy he began with Night of the Living Dead in 1968, writer/director Dan O’Bannon was spinning Romero’s original classic into a totally new direction with The Return of the Living Dead. Whereas Romero’s film is dark and sober, Return is pure punk rock anarchy—a horror comedy that successfully manages to be equal parts horror and comedy while introducing one of the most significant elements into the zombie mythos since Romero first made them flesh-eaters 17 years earlier.

The film’s ingenious premise—which was “meta” before being meta was really a thing—is that the events of the original Night of the Living Dead really did take place and were covered up, with the zombies locked into airtight drums and left in the basement of a medical supply facility.

Scream Factory already gave The Return of the Living Dead fans plenty of reasons to party with their extensive special features list for the upcoming Collector’s Edition Blu-ray of the film, but now they have added one more reason to celebrate with the announcement of a new audio commentary for the release.

Scream Factory revealed on Facebook that a new audio commentary with actors Thom Mathews, John Philbin and make-up effects artist Tony Gardner will be included on the The Return of the Living Dead Collector’s Edition Blu-ray (and also the sold-out Deluxe Limited Edition Blu-ray).

With new insights from the actors who played Freddy and Chuck, respectively, as well as one of the artists who helped bring the film’s zombies to living dead life, the additional audio commentary should be a special treat for fans when the Blu-ray hits shelves on July 19th. Below, we have...

Since it was announced at last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, The Return of the Living Dead Collector’s Edition Blu-ray has been eagerly awaited by fans looking to party with Dan O’Bannon’s unique brand of zombies. Scream Factory is now making those fans happy with their official July release details for the two-disc Blu-ray that contains more than twelve hours of bonus features, comes with new cover art, and is available in two separate editions:

If you grew up on 80's horror films, like myself, then "The Return of the Living Dead" is a must. It's one of the scariest and funniest horror films of the decade. It allowed zombies to be seen in a completely new light outside of what George A. Romero had done with his living dead trilogy. So, talk about a wonderful Halloween treat in a brand new documentary, complete with cast & crew interviews, entitled "More Brains! A Return to the Living Dead" which details everything you always wanted to know about this beloved cult classic.

It's an all too common cliché in Hollywood to say someone doesn't age. But in the case of Beverly Randolph, it's a cliché that's almost impossible to avoid. Return of the Living Dead's leading lady was a mere twenty years old when cast in writer-director Dan O'Bannon's outrageous zombie cult classic. But two and a half decades later, Randolph remains as wide-eyed and lovely as her character Tina, and, as I found out earlier this week, every bit as sweet.
