THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD

“They’re back from the grave, and ready to party.” With those words, one of the greatest horror comedies of all time was born. When two bumbling (and we mean bumbling!) employees of a medical supply warehouse accidentally release a deadly gas, all hell breaks loose—literally—as the vapours cause the dead to rise. And they’re hungry for brains.

Director Dan O’Bannon’s brilliant and beloved cult classic (which also happens to contain one of the most kick-ass soundtracks of any film released in the ’80s!) comes to us in a brand new, 4K restoration, allowing audiences to experience this film the way it was meant to be seen—on the big screen with an audience!
