RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD

A decade after the first zombie outbreak, a bus crashes in a small American town, killing everyone on board. Local churchgoers rush to the scene to save the living--and destroy the dead. But they're too late. A terrifying new plague of living dead has been unleashed. A new horde of victims has been infected. And this time, they are ravenous. . .

In 1968 the classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD changed the face of horror. The film was based on the screenplay by George A. Romero and John Russo. The original novel written by John Russo was followed by RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD in 1978, a very different sequel than the 1985 film directed by Dan O'Bannon.

John Russo wants everyone to know he's a really nice guy even though he loves to scare people. He started it by co-scripting the 1968 horror classic Night of the Living Dead, one of the greatest fright flicks of all time, ranked #18 on the Internet Movie Database's top 100 Scariest Movies. (In a fine example of showmanship and multi-tasking, Russo also played a zombie in the film.) He also wrote the screenplays for Midnight, Santa Claws and The Majorettes..Mr. Russo has authored fifteen horror novels, including Living Things, The Awakening, Bloodsisters, Black Cat, Voodoo Dawn and Inhuman. His nonfiction books, Scare Tactics and Making Movies are considered bibles of independent film making by film students and horror fans.
