Scream Factory Reveals Details of ‘Return of the Living Dead Part II’ Blu-ray

The emergence of countless streaming services has seen many movie fans long for the days of physical media, allowing devout collectors to purchase comprehensive releases that offer a variety of behind-the-scenes features. Scream Factory has tapped into that market with their horror film releases, honoring the most iconic and obscure titles imaginable. The distributor recently confirmed the treasure trove of special features on their upcoming release of Return of the Living Dead Part II, which hits shelves on August 14th.

The zombies have returned! The horror begins again as mysterious barrels bounce off an Army transport as it passes through a new housing development and land near an abandoned cemetery. Mischievous neighborhood boys discover the barrels and open them, unaware of the evil contained within. A deadly green vapor escapes and turns the living into flesh-eating zombies and causes the dead to rise from their graves. As these hideous living dead hunt down the fresh human brains they need, man is pitted against man, and the living against the dead. It is a macabre struggle for survival!
