With the rights to the three Return of the Living Dead films spread across various studios, fans have been dreaming about seeing them on DVD for way too long. In mid-1999 it seemed things were starting to look a bit better for DVD fans when the original Return of the Living Dead had been announced for Region 2, PAL DVD release. Ultimately the release was delayed until January 2001.
Lets take a closer look at their DVD release.
After telling the story, Frank tells Freddy there are a few of the canisters that hold the once re-animated bodies down in the basement. The government took all the bodies, stored them in canisters, and shipped them off to a supply company. The transportation department mixed up some paperwork somewhere and accidentally shipped a few of the canisters to the Uneeda Medical Supply company instead. They go down into the basement where the canisters are stored so Freddy can get a closeup look at the dead bodies. While they're down there, Frank decides to hit one of the canisters to prove how strong they are.
