Dan “The Beast” Severn, a legend in both amateur and professional wrestling as well as mixed martial arts, has joined the cast of the upcoming horror sequel Return of the Corn Zombies. Known for his formidable record in combat sports, Severn brings a robust presence to the film, which delves into a world overrun by a corn virus turning people into zombies. The story picks up two years after the initial outbreak, following a group of survivors battling through this dystopian world to find a sanctuary called “Homestead,” their last hope for safety.
The film is currently in the crowdfunding stage on Indiegogo, offering fans a chance to become part of the production through various perks including IMDB credits and the opportunity to appear as extras. Return of the Corn Zombies promises a darker tone compared to its predecessor, reflecting the harsh survivalist era of the late 1960s, a significant shift from the original’s lighter, more carefree atmosphere.
Fans of the original film, Attack of the Corn Zombies, are eagerly anticipating this sequel to see how the saga continues, especially with the addition of Severn to the cast. The production is set to take place in central Illinois near Champaign, with a release planned for the first quarter of 2025.
