Ho, Ho, Ho, Return of the Living Dead Rises Again!
It’s been a whole two decades since the last installment in the Return of the Living Dead franchise, and nearly four decades since the original film first sparked the undead mayhem. But fear not, fans of the series – it seems those reanimated corpses won’t be staying dead forever. According to an announcement made today, Return of the Living Dead is officially set to rise from its grave once more.
It’s been a while since we last saw these particular zombies shambling about on screen, but the wait may have been worth it. The new film, also titled Return of the Living Dead, promises to pick up where the 1985 original left off, but with a twist – this time around, we’ll be revisiting the world in an unnamed Pennsylvania town two years after the events of the first movie.
While it’s unclear what specific plot threads will be explored or characters will make their return, fans can rest assured that all the chaos and carnage they’ve come to expect from the franchise will still be on full display. The announcement doesn’t offer any concrete details on the cast or crew behind this new installment, but given the success of recent zombie-themed films and shows, it’s likely we’ll see a fresh take on the classic formula.
It’s also worth noting that with the rise of streaming services, it’s possible the new Return of the Living Dead could find its way onto one of those platforms in addition to a traditional theatrical release. However, at this point, no such details have been confirmed.
In any case, for fans of the series, this news is certainly a welcome development – and we can only hope that it signals a long-term return to form for the franchise.
