Horror Realm, Pittsburgh’s modern horror convention, presents its largest guest list ever at the annual show coming up the weekend of March 4th through 6th at Double Tree by Hilton Pittsburgh Green Tree hotel.

The show features a first time ever Pittsburgh reunion of seven cast members from the 1985 horror comedy, “The Return of the Living Dead”, led by veteran actor Clu Gulager. Mr. Gulager played Burt Miller, the owner of “Uneeda Medical Supply” in the film. He has appeared in scores of films and television shows including the role of Deputy Emmett Ryker in seasons 3 through 6 of the classic western TV series “The Virginian” as well as appearing in the films “The Killers”, “The Last Picture Show” and “McQ”. Most recently, Mr. Gulager has appeared in several films directed by his son, John Gulager, including “Piranha 3DD” and the “Feast” film series.
