Bede Vs. The Living Dead Episode 21 - Return Of The Living Dead (1978)... John A. Russo's Sequel Novel To NOTLD

Hey, everyone! Welcome to episode 21 of Bede Vs. The Living Dead. The podcast where your host Bede Jermyn explores the remakes, re-edits, reimaginings, homages, unofficial follow-ups and more to George A. Romero’s 1968 classic Night Of The Living Dead across all media.

Now that we've passed the milestone 20th episode of the podcast, your host Bede continues his journey exploring every iteration of Night Of The Living Dead that has been made so far. After tackingly the TV side of NOTLD in the past two episodes, Bede heads back into the world of literature by taking a look at NOTLD co-writer John A. Russo's 1978 sequel novel: Return Of The Living Dead, which was adapted, if mostly in name-only, into the 1985 cult classic horror/comedy of the same name.

Joining Bede to discuss this novel sequel to Night Of The Living Dead is writer/podcaster Stephanie Crawford. Highlights in this one include Stephanie telling Bede about the first time she saw the original NOTLD, what Bede & Stephanie thought of reading the Return Of The Living Dead novel for the first time, how different the novel is from its 1985 film adaptation, how John A. Russo continues the story 10 years after the events of NOTLD, which moments in the novel did Bede & Stephanie find the most effective, wonder if Russo's descriptions of certain zombie attacks is a little too much and so much more.
