**NEW TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT**

More zombies and “more brains!” are shambling into our factory this Summer! We’re super excited to report today that the highly-requested undead sequel RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD PART II is (finally) coming to Blu-ray!! Here are the early details we have at present time:

• This will be branded as a “Collector’s Edition” that will come with a slipcover (guaranteed for three months after its original release date). U.S. and Canada territories (Region A).

• The newly-commissioned artwork pictured comes to us from Graham Humphreys (who also illustrated our original ROTLD cover back in 2016). This art will be front-facing and the reverse side of the wrap will the original theatrical poster design.

• Extras and specs are still in progress and will be announced later in early July. However, we can confirm today that we will be doing a brand-new HD film transfer and will be correcting the soundtrack issues that were present on the previous DVD release.

• National street date is planned for August 14th. However, if you pre-order now for early shipping directly from us @ https://www.shoutfactory.com/…/retur...dead-pa… you will also receive an 18' x 24" rolled poster of the newly-commissioned art. We’ll be only be producing 1,000 of the posters so act fast!

Holy crap! I love this movie. It’s one of the earliest horror comedies I watched as a kid that kind of scared me but not enough to keep me up at night. I feel this is highly underrated. Great effects! This will be a day one.

Excellent news, this is a favourite of mine.

Here's hoping they get the audio fixed, as the dvd was horrendous. The unnecessary voiceover and the music cues were entirely different from the original version.

Those very issues are the reason why I phoned WB customer service when the dvd came out and *****ed them out for these god awful changes,

About damn time. A big title to cross off the wishlist

critterdvd · 05-02-2018, 03:49 PM

Super excited about this one! This may be the first disc that I will preorder directly from Shout Factory!

Woohoo! Finally.

Blu-ray Fanatic · 05-02-2018, 03:59 PM

I watched this with friends when I was a kid. I'll watch it again for old times sake.

Which company owns the rights to this film?

Awesome! I was expecting a Warner Archive release some day eventually down the line maybe... But a proper special edition with the soundtrack restored? Now that’s exciting.

I will be getting this one and Brainscan coming in August can't wait will pre order both of them to get them both two weeks early than the release date too.

returnofthemack · 05-02-2018, 04:26 PM

Scream Factory killing it lately. Starting to feel like it’s 2014 again. If this is what they have lined up for August I can’t wait to see what they have for the September and October, they are usually the months they release their highest profile titles.

GeoffOliver · 05-02-2018, 04:28 PM

Yup. Day 1. Will also finally grab Return of the Living Dead III (hopefully with slip).

DenOfEarth · 05-02-2018, 04:37 PM

FINALLY! now i can throw my old DVD in the trash and get this.

Fans of 1 and 3 like me can FINALLY complete the trilogy on BD (4 and 5 don't exist).

I enjoyed this since i saw it in theaters 30 years ago when i was 6 years old.

Vandal Savage · 05-02-2018, 04:41 PM

Too bad we can't get a matching cover for ROTLD3.
