Since we just covered the 1985 zombie classic Return of the Living Dead on the Cult Film Club, we thought it would be apt to re-release Paxton's I Read Movies episode where he covers the film's novelization written by none other than Night of the Living Dead's John Russo. If you're curious about how the movie might differ from the original script, or how Russo had a darker take on a sequel to NotLD, check out this episode.
