The Angry Cast Speak Out Over the Controversy with ‘Return of the Living Dead: Aftermath’

When DragonFlix released Return of the Living Dead: Aftermath on Halloween, it was advertised as an original cast reunion. However, horror icons Linnea Quigley and Beverly Randolph found that what arrived wasn’t what they had signed up for.
