Description

Return of the Living Dead (Orion, 1985), Brian Peck "Scuz" Annotated Personal Script. Original 117-page (as paginated) bound and bradded Final Shooting Script dated "24 October 1983" on the title page, owned by actor Brian Peck with hand-written annotations. Script measures 8.5" x 11" and features a textured black studio wrap titled "RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD". Annotations include the title page hand signed "Brian Peck Scuz" on the top right corner and his character Scuz's dialogue circled in black ink throughout. Written and directed by Dan O'Bannon, the horror comedy has become a staple of zombie pop culture with its rock and roll soundtrack, vibrant cast of memorable characters, including the mohawked punk-rocker Scuz, and the introduction of nigh-invincible ghouls with a preference for eating brains. Exhibits general handling wear and age with some wrinkling, edge wear, and scuffing along the front and back corners. The poster image is for reference only and is not included with this lot. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions.
