Episode 40: Return of the Living Dead

Send us Fan MailA real cult classic this episode, The Return of the Living Dead. 1985, cool mid-80s punk music, odd mid-1980s fashion (shoulder pads, collars up, no sleeves and a lot of zips and chains), and a slightly comedic plot derived from The Night of the Living Dead that didn't really feel all that funny. Still, it is the movie that gave us the idea that zombies want to eat brains, and why. So it is cemented in zombie movie history that that alone, and less so the 4 ever-diminishing sequels.
