And here’s the best part, you can be a part of this epic adventure! Join us in making horror history by supporting our crowdfunding campaign and becoming a key player in the next evolution of the Return of the Living Dead universe!

What is TRASH’s REVENGE all about

As the saga continues decades after the horrific events of the 1985 cult classic, Trash the notorious punk rocker, played by Linnea Quigley, finds herself trapped in a past where fame has faded. Once a rebellious icon, Trash now embraces the persona of a grotesque Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard, attending conventions to sign autographs while her co-stars rise to greater heights.

For Linnea, her legacy as a star of Return of the Living Dead becomes both a curse and a twisted ticket to notoriety in an industry obsessed with horror and scandal. But when a young filmmaker approaches her to make a documentary with staged re-enactments from the original film to celebrate the film’s 40th Anniversary, Linnea sees an opportunity to reclaim her place in the spotlight no matter the cost.

As the documentary delves into her past, a shocking truth emerges: Return of the Living Dead wasn’t just fiction, part of it was real. Linnea confesses that she still possesses three original cannisters from the film, hidden away in her basement. Cannisters that were never revealed to the public… until now.

Trash’s Revenge is a darkly comedic, gore-filled tale exploring the dangerous allure of vanity, obsession, and the desperate hunger for fame. As Trash’s twisted quest for recognition spirals out of control, the world is forced to confront the terrifying consequences of her return. With a bloody showdown that will determine her fate, the question remains: can Trash find redemption, or is she destined to remain a monstrous relic of the past?
