The Return of the Living Dead has received quite the second life in the last 15 years. I grew up only knowing Part 2, and it remains one of my favorites. But when MGM did a great DVD release in 2002 I was finally introduced to the original, and a special edition followed in 2007 with amazing features (especially for horror at that time). This version from Scream Factory, released to coincide with the 30th Anniversary, is a great digital upgrade in Blu-ray format restoring most of the original audio and music tracks (another story, another day) while adding great new content on the makeup and FX. Do you have this edition? Have comments or reviews of the packaging or the features? Drop them in the comment section!!!!
