Celebrity interviews. Entertainment news. Movie and television reviews. And other random nonsense. (Emphasis on the "nonsense.") John Horton and Kyle Pierson bring our old IN THE SPOTLIGHT web show into the modern era with this fun, humorous podcast that hopes to educate as well as entertain. If we achieve at least one of those goals, our work here is done!
Return of the Living Dead: Aftermath / New Sequel. Original Cast.
THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD universe expands this Halloween when https://dragonflix.uk/ (which was working correctly at time of posting) premieres the latest sequel in the franchise on Oct. 31, 2026. But what happened to Linnea Quigley's TRASH'S REVENGE, which original cast members are returning for AFTERMATH, and how much of it will be A.I.? Those are the questions we received once we shared the press release. Kyle Pierson and John Horton sit down with the film's producer, Michael Joy of https://www.marketingmacabre.com/, to find out what the total hell is going on. Plus, questions and controversies have also surrounded another DRagon project, ALL AMERICAN MASSACRE: REIMAGINED. We ask about both projects, learn about the various bonus materials available on launch day, and also discuss a number of other items that have either been delayed, shelved, or about ready to be released. Then, stick around for the trailer for both the movie and the PC game following the interview. Special thanks to Beverly Randolph for kicking off this special bonus installment of ATTACK OF THE SPOTLIGHT.ADDITIONAL LINKS DISCUSSED:HUMAN HIBACHI 2https://tubitv.com/movies/100056567/human-hibachi-2HUMAN HIBACHI 3https://tubitv.com/movies/100056509/human-hibachi-3DEMON QUEEN PINBALL MACHINE Trailerhttps://youtu.be/b7YvjOvV2Xw?si=Lz1EOY4ERsbh7cKWMICHAEL JOY'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL@Perception_Is_Reality DRAGONFLIX YOUTUBE CHANNEL@dragonflixchannel KYLE PIERSON'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL@Area51ESD JOHN HORTON'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL@jahorton13 Follow ATTACK OF THE SPOTLIGHT on social, listen to the podcast, and shop our storeshttps://linktr.ee/attackofthespotlight#returnofthelivingdead
