The Return of the Living Dead (1985)

from Die Laughing · host The Die Laughing Podcast

The Return of the Living Dead is a 1985 comedy-horror film that completely redefined the zombie genre. They talk? Check. They move fast? Yep. And way before 28 Days Later, too. They eat brains and the reason is explained by a zombie torso? Gurl, you better know it. Written and directed by Dan O'Bannon, (who wrote a teeny little film called Alien) and based on a story that was originally conceived to be the sequel to Night of the Living Dead, this film is a fractured brain pan full of fun!Hosts: Bart Shannon, Lindsey RobertsGuest: Joey CarrMusic provided by MKE.
