‘The Return of the Living Dead’ Star Clu Gulager Has Passed Away
The sad news has been spread across social media this afternoon that acting legend Clu Gulager has passed away, leaving behind countless memorable roles across his 93 years.
Here in the horror world, Clu Gulagar is best remembered as Burt in 1985 horror-comedy The Return of the Living Dead, and he also played Mr. Walsh the following year in A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge. Those are but two roles from a career that spanned nearly 70 years, with Gulager amassing an incredible IMDb resume that’s 165 credits long.
Clu Gulager also appeared in The Killers, The Last Picture Show, Mystery in Dracula’s Castle, The Killer Who Wouldn’t Die, The Initiation, From a Whisper to a Scream, The Hidden, Uninvited, I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, Teen Vamp, Puppet Master 5, the Feast trilogy, Piranha 3DD, Tangerine, Blue Jay, Children of the Corn: Runaway, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Clu Gulager is survived by his sons John Gulager and Tom Gulager. John Gulager directed his dad in the horror films Feast 1-3, Piranha 3DD, and Children of the Corn: Runaway.
“We need to laugh, we need to be scared, we need to hug our girl in the theater,” Clu Gulagar was once quoted as saying. “It lightens the load of this crummy life.”
On that note, we’ll be watching The Return of the Living Dead in Clu Gulager’s honor tonight. To laugh, to be scared, to lighten the load. We’ll miss you, Clu. Forever and always.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
