After a 20-year hiatus and five iconic films, the Return of the Living Dead franchise is making a triumphant return with a brand-new sequel. Scheduled to release in Christmas 2025, the horror classic promises a fresh, chilling story for fans, blending humor, suspense, and the signature Trioxin-fueled chaos that the franchise is known for.
A haunting first teaser
Living Dead media and director Steve Wolsh recently dropped a teaser trailer that sets the eerie tone for the upcoming sequel. The clip, released on Friday the 13th, features the franchise's iconic zombie character, Tarman, dragging a Christmas tree through a snow-covered cemetery while a haunting rendition of Silent Night plays in the background. The imagery, paired with the holiday tune, sets a dark, atmospheric mood for what promises to be a Christmas nightmare.
The story and setting
The new film takes place in 1985, 18 months after the events of the original 1985 cult classic. The plot is set in a small Pennsylvania town during the Christmas season, where a fresh Trioxin-related incident threatens to unleash chaos.
According to Living Dead Media, fans should not expect returning characters due to their grim fates in the original film. Steve Wolsh emphasizes that this is not a reboot or remake but instead an entirely new story set within the franchise's dark, humorous, and edgy universe.
A unique visual approach
Director Steve Wolsh has promised an immersive visual experience by utilizing widescreen anamorphic lenses and practical snow effects to create atmospheric and visually striking scenes.“The effects swirling against the night sky give the film an amazing look and texture,” Wolsh said, hinting at a fresh, visually captivating approach for the sequel.
