Return Of The Living Dead (1985)

BRAINS!

Tonight’s feature film, 1985’s RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, was the first in the zombie genre to feature the undead sons of bitches feasting on the human intelligence center. From writer/director Dan O’Bannon (ALIEN, TOTAL RECALL) and author James A. Russo (NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD) comes a mordant punk horror/comedy that was a critical and financial success. 

Clu Gulager (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY’S REVENGE), James Karen (POLTERGEIST) and Don Calfa (WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S) lead a cast that includes Linnea Quigley (SORORITY BABES IN THE SLIMEBALL BOWL-O-RAMA), one of the all time great B-movie screamers. 

Thrills! Chills! Naked graveyard dancing! Nuclear annihilation! This one has it all and it’s even set to a punk rock soundtrack!
