New Audio Commentary Announced for THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD Collector’s Edition Blu-ray

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 the official announcement from Scream Factory, as well as the full details for the Collector's Edition Blu-ray.

From Scream Factory: "A last-minute extra just came in on our upcoming THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD release that we wanted to make sure you were a aware of. We have a new commentary with actors Thom Mathews, John Philbin and make-up effects artist Tony Gardner!

The full list of bonus material can be found @https://www.shoutfactory.com/…/the-return-of-the-living-dea…. Here's to "more brains" this Summer!"

Collector's Edition Blu-ray Details: "On his first day on the job at an army surplus store, poor Freddy (Thom Mathews) unwittingly releases nerve gas from a secret U.S. military canister, unleashing an unbelievable terror. The gas re-animates 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!
