Rattle me bones!
The Return of the Living Dead

Written by John Russo

Ohmigod!  The original story line!
This is the original ROTLD story - the one that starts out with the wreck of a school bus full of children. "They" got Russo to change it up for the movie script. This edition is very hard to find. I have been searching for it for a long time. I finally found it up for auction on Ebay. Ebay - how I hate to love it! (If you have ever been there you know what I'm talking about!)

Freddy Travis had just found his first full-time job, at the vast, gloomy Uneeda Medical Supply warehouse. What he didn't expect were the racks of human skeletons... the pickled brains... the freezer compartments full of fresh corpses.

But nobody else there realized the true horror concealed in a secret store of huge metal drums. Now one of them was accidentally opened. Then what it contained would spread through the warehouse, and drift across the cemetery next door ... To arouse the twitching, shambling, screaming nightmare of the walking dead - desperate to feast on the brains of the living.
