The Return of the Living Dead (1985) - The 80s Punk Heavy Horror Soundtrack with JM Brandt, writer of Swamp Dogs: House of Crows

We cover our first horror soundtrack this week with JM Brandt, writer of the upcoming horror comic, Swamp Dogs: House of Crows (Scout/Black Caravan), which comes out in ashcan form this week! We talk about the 1985 Dan O'Bannon horror comedy, The Return of the Living Dead and its very punk, but sometimes not punk soundtrack, which features artists such as The Cramps, TSOL, Roky Erikson, and SSQ. We also chat about how the music fits within the film, Dan O'Bannon's underrated screenwriting career, and how the movie takes places on JM Brandt's and my birthday, which also happens to be shared by a very famous celebrity. Look out for the official release of Swamp Dogs: House of Crows Issue #1 in mid-October!We would love it if you would join our Patreon membership, where you will get quarterly bonus episodes, early access to our regular episodes, and much moreThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacySpotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Soundtrack Your Life SocialsBlueskyInstagramWriting SiteYouTubePatreon Learn more about your ad choices.
