The Return Of The Living Dead Limited Edition 4K Steelbook Launching Ahead Of The New Sequels

The Return of the Living Dead 4K Steelbook features gruesome new artwork and arrives on June 10

Since this 4K steelbook was just revealed, we're still waiting on official word as to what exactly is included. The only thing that's known so far is that you'll get the premium steelbook and a 4K version of the hit film--though we wouldn't be surprised if it's packed with common extras like bonus features and standard Blu-ray and digital formats of the movie. Amazon lists this as a "limited edition" release, so consider locking in your preorder before it sells out. If you preorder now, you won't be charged until the item ships, and if the price changes between now and June 10, you'll only pay the lowest amount.

The Return of the Living Dead 4K Steelbook Bonus Features

While we don't have a list of bonus features for this upcoming version of The Return of the Living Dead, we'd expect it to offer many of the same features available on current editions. For example, there's already a Walmart exclusive 4K steelbook available for $35, and it includes the following:

Audio commentary with author Gary Smart
Audio commentary with cast and crew
The Decade of Darkness featurette
The FX of the Return of the Living Dead
Still galleries
And more

Keep in mind that these special features are not yet confirmed for the upcoming steelbook, but we'd be surprised if it didn't contain similar content. We'll update this section when more details are revealed.

The Return of the Living Dead is a 1985 zombie horror-comedy film directed by Dan O'Bannon and written by Night of the Living Dead's co-writer John A. Russo. The movie follows a group of punks who face down a horde of zombies who rise from their graves to hunt the living. The movie received critical acclaim when it premiered and remains a standout in the zombie film genre, in part thanks to its awesome soundtrack featuring several 80s LA punk bands. It's also notable for introducing common zombie fiction tropes, such as zombies eating brains and only being killed by total incineration.

If you don't mind skipping out on the steelbook, you can buy The Return of the Living Dead 4K Collector's Edition for $28.60 (was $40). This gets you many of the bonus features listed above and it's relatively affordable at under $30. You can round out your collection with Return of the Living Dead 2 and Return of the Living Dead 3 on Blu-ray. Two made-for-TV sequel movies, Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis and Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave are also available on DVD. These will get you caught up before the planned Return of the Living Dead reboot premieres later this year.

There's also the Night of the Living Dead: Criterion Collection (4K Blu-ray), which offers a gorgeous 4K digital restoration that was supervised by George A. Romero and John A. Russo.
