WTF Happened To The Return Of The Living Dead?

- When Night of the Living Dead released in 1968, it spawned two very different zombie series. First, was director George A. Romero's Dead franchise, which continued with Dawn, Day and Land (amongst others we won't mention here out fear of them being remembered). Then the other writer of Night, John Russo, had a series of his own that would fall under the Living Dead moniker. While his involvement lessened by the time the movie was actually made, we were left with an insane comedy/horror hybrid. So join us today as we cover The Return of the Living Dead.

SERIES SYNOPSIS: Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: WTF Happened To This Horror Movie?

Return Of The Living Dead is my absolute favorite zombie movie and one of my all-time favorite horror movies! I've seen it so many times and I never get tired of watching it again.
I thought I was the only one that can watch it hundreds if not thousands of times and still enjoy it everytime I watch. Definitely a cult classic.
I loved watching it on VHS back in the day.
Fully agree with you. To this day the main theme they play when the Trioxin is released still creeps me out.
I love this movie as kid still do. even know wasn't born in the 80s but 2002. my god this is one my family favorite movies to watch over and over again. along many other cult classics. some cult classics I watch older. but as kid and still one my favorites chachters is trash. and actress play Susana in night of the demons. also 2 is my childhood and sleepaway camp 2 is my all time childhood favorite. but return of the living. my favorite. especially having good soundtrack. favorites being intro,2.ssq-tonight we make love until we die 3.45 graves-PARTYTIME!!! I love that zombie coming out grave. especially trash dancing. sad she die. but happy was back. but sad she was a zombie.
Ditto.
“Send more paramedics…”
“Send more cops…”
We were in the theater howling at this movie, absolute loved it!
"Come in dispatch. SEND MORE PARAMEDICS!"
My favorite zombie flick!
"YOU MEAN THE MOVIE LIED?!?!!"
BRAAAIN'S more BRAAAAAINS
When this was released, the theater near me had this movie and fright night as a double feature...saw them both damn near every night for the entire run (the theater manager was my old math tutor so he gave me a bunch of free passes) love this movie to no end....the 80s were a true treasure trove for horror and sci fi
Agreed.
From this moment on, I'm going to be the best person I can be. Because if heaven does exist, my eternity will be spending it as a teen during the summer of 1985, and watching these 2 classics in the theater every night forever. Maybe sneak into the other rooms on other nights to watch classics like Commando, The Goonies, BttF, Rambo 2, Teen Wolf, Weird Science, Pee-Wee, Day of the Dead and Invasion USA.
Saw so many movies that summer
@@Vaporvice84 Not sure you can control how you spend your time in heaven....assuming you make it there.
Fright Night messed me up as a child! That seen with Evil Ed transforming still FREAKS ME OUT, and I'm 43!
The fact that the zombies are truly unkillable and hold on to some basic brain-function is what's truly scary!
And ran & the only thing that COULD kill them only created more
I always found their motivation scary. They eat brains, not out of hunger, but because the chemicals in it are the only thing that makes their agony stop. As a result, they are in a mad frenzy.
that coupled with the fact that they’re actually conscious and cognizant of what they are fills me with a more existential dread
The zombies here and the Deadites in Evil Dead are two things I would never want to deal with.
One of my all time favorites. And sadly we recently lost Clu Gulager.
He was one of the best characters in the movie. I like how he's the calm person in the room trying to figure everything out.
And Don Calfa who Played Ernie.🙏🏻❤️
@@metalmassiah1994 My favorite part in the movie was when they bring in the reanimated cadaver and they tell Ernie that it's rabid weasels. It's a well written and acted scene and if we weren't told anything about what just happened we'd be like Ernie thinking "you can't just burn animals alive, it's cruel, at least let me put them out of their misery,' or "guys take them to the pound."
8-5-22 RIP 🙏
@@schizoidboy right? Lol🤣
WTF happened to it? It became one of the best Horror movies ever made is what.
It's on a list of movies I can't believe people haven't seen. I'm just waiting for my kid to be old enough to not mess him up and he will be sitting down for a viewing.
Absolutely!!!!!!
@@nesamdoom lol, showed my niece when she was around 8. She's into 80s horror now and her mom has no idea why 😂
R.I.P. James Karen and Clu Gulager
...and Mark Venturini.
He died of leukemia...the character he played was suicide.
and director Dan O'Bannon.
...and Don Calfa (Ernie)
It sucks we are losing so many from the movie the kids and tarman are all that’s left
Clu was also in a great series called: Feast. Fucking great movies - funny to boot.
Absolute classic, from the cast to the practical effects, to the soundtrack, it's probably the greatest Zombie film ever created, it even came up with the concept of zombies eating brains. A gang of 1980s punks accompanied by Tommy Jarvis fighting off waves of zombies and a hungry Tarman, it doesn't get much better than that. George a remero may have some what created the modern zombie we all know now, and generated many classics himself, but - "The Return Of The Living Dead" is simply the perfect 80's Zombie film.
I couldn't agree with you more!!!!
I’m not knocking Return at all. One of my favorites. Shaun of the Dead is the best ever though! A perfect film in my opinion.
NOTHING BEATS THE CLASSIC DAWN OF THE DEAD DUDE. THIS MOVIE IS JUST PLAIN GOOFY
Yeah its weird calling any zombie movie better than george romero but the vibe of this movie was just untouchable
Correct.
Grew up in the 80s...This film scared me when I was a kid and it kicks ASS!Watched it a thousand times!
me too! definitely one of my favorite horror movies ever
I loved that movie so much that I got involved with the sequel (Return of the Living Dead Part 2). First as a carpenter on the sets, then as a runner for the art department, and finally as a zombie extra. Weeks of standing around in a fake graveyard at night, freezing in Saugus, California resulted in me being in the movie for about three seconds. I guess it was a fun time overall.
😱👏🏻❤️👍🏻
Man, the zombies retaining their intelligence and personality is what creeped me out the most about this film. The decayed old woman is legendary, not just for an awesomely grotesque scene, but for how human it remained despite being... well, _remains._ Also, the animatronics were out of this fucking world, and Tar Man was unbelievably awesome! RIP Clu Gulager, you were a legend in film.
If memory serves, either in an older version of the script or the book based on the film, it's revealed the corpse Ernie is embalming when Burt comes in was the half-zombie's husband.
I ran across this video by accident, but glad I did! Having been there, on-set I can attest to much of what is said here. Dan was a tough pill to swallow sometimes. This was my 1st on-set experience at 22 years old. I was from the 2nd makeup fx team headed by Kenny Myers, after Bill Munns left the project. You actually have a photo of me in this video (at the 10:28 mark) holding the head of the Barrel Corpse that I had just finished painting.
Cool!😃🤘
Oh wow! what an honor to have you here! Y'all created a badass movie that will always be considered the best zombie movie ever made.
That is incredible. Thanks for your contribution to this film!
Love this tidbit!
Yall did an awesome job! I remember watching for the first time with my older sister when I was little in the 90s and being absolutely terrified
People don’t realize this is the first “running zombies” movie. Seen this back in the 80s. Fun movie.
This movie made the zombies unstoppable they could run, were bulletproof could take any damage had the ability to speak and retained they're intelligence when they were human that is scary in itself
It's not necessary the first.
@@GilbertSyndrome which one is?
@@unknowntosociety01 Nightmare City was in 1980. Umberto Lenzi doesn't consider it a zombie movie, but it pretty much is an obvious nod in that direction.
@@GilbertSyndrome Wow Ill have to look into that, thanks for the tidbit
I’ve always said that “Return” was the fun movie regarding the zombie apocalypse, “Night/Dawn/Day” were the serious, “what would actually happen during the breakdown of society” of the zombie apocalypse. Love them both, both have a very special place in my heart and childhood.
Funny thing is it was as said in the video supposed to be just that, a serious dead spinoff but o bannon used his genius even if it comes off as cheesy, its fun as fuck
Growing up In the 80’s and bike riding down to our local video store, renting a few of these crazy movies was very fun.
My brothers and I were 14 years of age and below.
I was 8 in 1985 and the video store owner didn’t give 2 craps how old we were and let us rent “ scary movies”
We’d go watch them at a friends house whos dad had an old tv in the garage .
We set up a crusty old couch and watch movies late into the night .
Then my brothers and I would ride our huffey’s back home across town around 11 pm.
Yup, the 80’s were a wild time for us kids .
Man I loved reading your comments! It brings back so many memories of my on. I was the youngest of 4 kids but luckily I had a cousin that was a few months younger than me. Every weekend my uncle (jis dad) would bring us to rent a horror movie and the three of us would watch them together. I later moved close to a Video Warehouse so I started riding my bike to the warehouse to rent horror films. This current generation will never understand the thrill of walking into a video store, smelling the boxes, and viewing the cover art. Those were definetely the good old days. Don't get me wrong, I love Netflix and other streaming but nothing will ever beat the days of video stores. That was a slice a pure Americana!
Rite on
Good ole days huh
I remember riding the old Huffy bikes and my little brother had a freaking cockroach on his collar , we tried flicking it for him, he thought we were messing with him, he started speeding up till we got to the video store, he jumped off his bike and ran in . We chased after him, the owner yelled at my older brother and I , cause he thought we were trying to beat him up, we said no, we’re trying to tell him that he has a freakin cockroach on him, then my little brother started freakin out and running all over the place.
The owner said “ oh hell no, y’all get out and take that cockroach with you, just then a random person walked in, all dirty from working in the apple orchards, the guy walked out with us and asked us why the owner just called him a cockroach.
That day was hilarious, we rode back with no movie, but we did go get some burgers. We teased our little brother and said hey, you gonna feed the cockroach some fries or what .
Good ole days
Working in a video store at that time like I did was glorious. Learned pretty quickly tho that when it came to horror movies, the fancier the cover of the box, the worse the movie was - and don't get me started on the one you pressed a button on the front to make the eyes of the zombie light up (can't remember the movie). I still fell for it almost every time. LOL
i was a kid in the 80's and we would ride our dirt bikes (motorcycles) to 7-Eleven and gas up, then ride them down the public street and jump back onto the trails. no one cared that there was a kid at the gas pump filling up a motorcycle. that was normal
I was 15.....I tried to 'sneak' into it...........the poster was the big draw for me - plus the soundtrack. I saw DK a year before so I knew about punk rock etc. Esp. The Cramps.
We just lost Clu Gullager (in this movie) a couple of days ago.
RIP Clu Gulager.
Dan O’Bannon did an incredible job directing this film.
He gets like no love as a director at all but he’s responsible for so much of the coolest movies
Sadly Clu Gulager Passed Away just 3 Days before this Video was Uploaded!!! He was 93.
Rest In Peace To The Man!!!
It sounds like this production had a lot going against it but somehow they still managed to make a really great classic zombie feature. I guess an enthusiastic and ambitious first time director full of nervous energy surrounded by talented people created a kind of perfect storm or a lightning in a bottle type of effect. There are so many great set pieces and lines of dialogue throughout the movie. It's always such a fun watch.
Those type of movies/directors are so wholesome ngl. Its always pure passion for art
Jason Robards must've visited the set @5:27. A young George Clooney visited the set as well since he was Freddy's roommate at the time. RIP Clu
Wow no shit?
George Also auditioned for the film, for chuck. George and Thom are still great friends to this day.
Jason Robards visited as he was a silent executive at orion at the time.
Watched this movie a few months ago for the first time in years and forgot how awesome it was. No CGI and still better then most horror movies today. The 80s horrors still hold up today
I remember people in the theater screaming and running out of the exits , truly a masterpiece
God that made me lol!!!!
@@hshawn00 could you just not?
Im guessing at tar man scenes? Man i love that guy
@@POOPGOD999 God he was nasty and scary when I saw him as a child. LOL
@@hshawn00 yeah his initial reveal is kinda ugly but in the other scenes where hes just black with the red scalp it looks so badass
It's a shame that the Tarman zombie is not in any Resident Evil game
This movie is a absolute zombie movie gem. Anyone else notice the Dan O'Bannon similarity between the Alien /face hugger egg and the Trioxin canister ? 🤔
Good video on a classic movie. Don't think I'll ever grow tired of people talking about Return of the Living Dead 1& 2.
Rest in peace Dan O'Bannon as this is one of the best zombies movies of all time I could understand that cast losing it in that movie it was horrible situation to be in but thank you Dan for the job you did in creating this movie as it is a classic til this day
The 'Tar Man' zombie is amazing. Plus I love the scene wear the uncle tells the nephew about the real events of Night of The Living Dead.
Uncle? Do you mean at the beginning of the movie, cause those are just employees
@@SDallstar I thought Freddy was Frank's nephew for some reason. Maybe its Mandela effect lol
@@SDallstar I just checked the movie. When Frank is showing Freddie how to pack the skeleton for delivery, he tells him not to be stingy with the styrofoam because "uncle Burt is paying for it"
As as kid in the 80s, I must have thought it was literally his uncle lol
Kinda funny that the "Tar Man" is the most well known of the many zombie creatures - because it's creator was the guy they fired.
@@WorldCupWillie Not Styrofoam. Excelsior, which is aspen strands. Main competitor is Spanish moss.
Yessss!!!!!! This is to me one of the BEST zombie movies ever made!!!! "Do you wanna partyyyyyy?!!, It's PARTY TIME!!!"👊💥🔥🤘
Omg, I remember seeing this movie as a kid and it scared the hell out of me. I'm a zombie horror fan. Return of the living dead is a classic zombie film. I still watch it from time to time. Great actors and good story.
RIP. Clu Gulager . ❤
The Return of the Living Dead is the GREATEST and BEST zombie film ever made. I would love for someone hyper competent to do a tv show that revisits this specific film's feel, horror, characters and retells the story, yet also expounds more into the lore and science of the ghouls themselves, as well as the original incident in the VA hospital that eventually lead up to the events of RotLD. A lot of people mistakenly consider this film as slapstick comedy, but it really isn't. This film takes it premise quite seriously, and the only comedy comes from the character's reaction to the outright absurdity and horror of ghouls coming back to life, craving brains. I honestly believe people confuse the mediocre sequel (which contained instances of slapstick comedy) with the generally scary original, that happened to contain instances of dark humor.
This movie contains the only zombie ghouls that genuinely terrify me. These are genuine graveyard ghouls, fresh from out of the ground. They can't be killed, they can't be stopped, they can move fast and never tire, they can't be reasoned with, yet they're just as intelligent as you and I... well, just as intelligent as I am. I don't know how intelligent any of you actually are. You could be a bunch of complete morons, for all I know. But you more than likely love this excellent film as much as I do, so you have some proof of competence😅
Yeah im surprised theres not more discussion about how damn powerful the zombies actually are in this movie. The fact they can even learn and mock things is enough
I absolutely ADORE this movie.
Linnea Quigley can't forget her famous scene. Although it still doesn't have nothing on that more famous scene from Night of the Demons.
That scene helped me through my teenage years
How did Jordan Peele put it? “Dat ass!”
I absolutely love ❤️ this Franchise. Only the trilogy, not the last bad 2. There are many memorable characters.😎
Caught this halfway through on cable as a kid (right around the Tarman reveal) and was completely captivated. It quickly became my favorite zombie movie. You can imagine my joy upon seeing that the full film (many years later) took place starting July 3, which is my birthday :)
Rest in Peace Clu ❤️
I f**cking LOVE this movie!!!
It is often said that every film's first scene teaches you how to watch the rest of it. The first thing you see as THIS film opens is plain white text against a black background that says something like:
"This film is based upon a true story. Not even the names of the people or business herein were changed."
Cut directly to the first actual shot,which is the front of a three story building with a large sign on it with the words "U-Need-A Medical Supply" printed on it. THIS film just taught you how to watch the rest of it with it's first SHOT!
Ok, I was 8yrs old when this came out. I always loved horror but zombies/the dead was always my favorite. This movie scared the hell out of me! Story time, my mother told me a tale that the reason they embalm dead bodies is to keep them from coming back, and that one day screaming was heard coming from the cemetery down our road and it was discovered that a recently deceased tried clawing it’s way out of its coffin!
I LOVED this movie as an 8 year old.
I was a similar age when I saw it.... what were our parents thinking?
You know, I'll also say..... It really shows when a director has the cast work out scripts before shooting. Not only does it make the actors feel like it's more of a community theater type thing(going over and over the lines) it just ends up making the dialogue in a film feel much more natural. Reanimator did this too and you can really feel the dialogue (like this film too).flow so much better and people playing off one another feels more natural.
And part 3 was done by Brain Yunza and is the greatest film in the series after part 1.
I remember being so excited about part 4 and 5. And then reading that Scifi channel.was doing them. They are awful, awful films. They even tried in part 4 to do the robot zombie thing from part 3 and somehow managed to fuck that up too.
Thank you for appreciating part 3! That is a horror classic in it's own right! I never even bothered to watch parts 4 and 5
I still remember watching this movie when it was on hbo. I enjoyed it back then and think of it as one of the best zombie movies I've seen.
Great vid as always, about one of my favourite movies of all time (I'm old enough to actually have seen it in theatres!) BUT you've made a terrible mistake:
@ 2:45 -> I don't know what Tom Fox looks like, but your red arrow points to Tony Gardner, one of the special effects crew, I think he was responsible for the talking half undead corpse (which he is casually carrying in the picture). That guy has had a very impressive career after that, just check his IMDb page and you'll see! 👻
Still love u though! ☺
I was just about to comment this as well ha ha
Coincidentally, I'm pretty sure Tom Fox was the man at the far right in that same photo. I'm judging this based on my memory of this film's documentary entitled 'More Brains'.
Yep. Pretty egregious error.
Great timing! I just rewatched this yesterday!!
Sadly we dont get films like these any more
i remember seeing this film super young (5-7 it’s one of the earliest Horror films i seen it’s always stuck with me! as a film Return is simply perfect (It’s a great example how the 1980’s era of Horror was one of the absolute best decades) I’d go as far as saying the entire Return of the Living Dead Original Trilogy is very solid overall each entry is different but, all great for different reasons) ❤️❤️❤️❤️
3 is borderline unwatchable imo. But 1-2 are fantastic. 1 is special. 2 was ultra fun
Part 2 was hilarious. Basically a spoof of the first one.
Saw this at the cinema last night. It was mad seeing it in HD after only ever seeing it on DVD ona. tiny screen in the past. Had a great time.
I haven't heard a better doc about this subject 😄 great video!!!
This is the movie that started the whole "zombies eat brains" thing. Most people think brains are just standard zombie fare but this is the first one that does it and really nearly all the other zombie movies do not.
Yes, you got that right!
Amen, im 46 so I grew up with this movie. It's dark, it's funny, it's creepy & the special effects are A+.
This is my favorite Zombie movie ever and I bought the soundtrack on cassette and also bought the CD 💿 as well I now listen to the soundtrack on TH-cam!!!
Thank you for featuring this!!!
I 've loved this movie since I first seen it and still do . My friends and I quote our favorite lines from it to this day . I'll bust it in the damn head 🤣
My absolute favorite zombie movie of all time!🤘🏻
Dan O'Bannon also wrote the screenplay. Rest in Peace, Dan. An amazing talent.
🔥THNX!🔥 one of my very favorites EVER
I have loved this movie since day one and have in my own small way tried to champion it whenever I can. The brilliant, intense manic energy runs like a live wire through this whole production and nobody or anything in the production ever seem to miss a beat. To lovers of horror the comedy is woven through so seamlessly that you can't help but to be entertained. The -admittedly- small connection with "Lifeforce" I was previously unaware of. This intrigued me simply because if one is looking for a truly, epically gone wrong movie one need look no further than that hot mess. I would recommend it to true fans of cult trainwrecks as it's one of the worst, most confusing movies ever made. Thanks for the enjoyable re-visit.
That was gold. Thanks for producing this little gem. I remember getting the big, free standing cardboard advertisement board from my local video store when they didnt want it anymore. Took pride of place in my teenage bedroom. Long time ago now, still have a dvd of it though. 👍
I literally just came upon this movie a few weeks ago on Tubi I believe it was. I had no idea where it fit into the canon of the Living dead films or that it was an actual part of the legacy that included Romeros original. Being a horror movie fan to a certain degree I was overjoyed with the entire film. The special effects were, for the time, great! As least as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure many agree. Great video folks! I love to learn new stuff about something I love which are any types of films in general. I appreciate the hard work you guys put in and will be a subscriber from here on out. Cheers!
One of my favorite movies and I love the soundtrack probably the greatest soundtrack in any movie
Thanks for covering these tales. It's a favorite film for me.
RIP James Karen, his performance is soo memorable
This is the best zombie movie made. Great effects and the pacing is really good. Never a dull moment.
R.I.P Clu gulager
He Will Be Missed Rest In Peace Amen😑🙏🏻👼🏻😢😪
Brilliant video. This Is my all time favorite Zombie film, first time watching it I didn’t quite know what to expect but I ended up falling in love with everything about it!
One of the greatest zombie movies, ever! Laughter and zombie violence at it's best! ,💯
Oh man, I remember when this came out. It was absolutely amazing. It really upped the Zombie genre. It was just great.
A film that took a different take on a genre that was getting bigger and bigger, the universe of zombies was just being in the 80's. This film was a great feel and may be the number one or number two of all of the greatest comedy horror films of all time.
holy shit!! I was looking for this video by yous guys yesterday. crazy lol
Love this movie funny as hell. Just brought it recently bc I realized how much I need it in my life 😂
This is my favorite movie of all time!
A GREAT classic film..very well done..ty..\m/
This is such a great film. Outside.of Texas chainsaw massacre (I think I've told the story here about my brother telling me the girl who gets hanged on the hook was real when I was 8 or 9 when he forced me to watch it with him) this was another one of the first flicks to scare the shit out of me. I was like 10? And ROTLD was coming on channel 36. Not cable, antenna. And they used to play all kinds of horror films on this channel in Atlanta . Slugs, chopping mall, that movie with Burt Reynolds and dude from KiSS Runaway.
I begged my.mom.to watch ROTLD that afternoon and she said ok. When tarman came out in the basement. I was done. I was so fucking scared. Then my mom chased me around the house for like an hour pretending to be a zombie. Love the music of this flick. Have a first pressing of the soundtrack. I saw Roky Erickson before he died, twice!
The Return of the Living Dead, and its sequel, are so fun and so good to watch. They are perfect products of their time and still hold up to their original enjoyment.
Freddy made me laugh, same as Chucky and Jason and Jerry Dandridge.....But Tar man and Half corpse traumatised my childhood, and i still have RotlD nightmares once and a while. It is my favorite horror flick of all time.
Saw it as a 15 year old in 85 with my friends & loved it then & still love it today!!!
same bro! I want a split dog!
It's amazing how many actors known for Westerns have been in horror movies. Royal Dano and Chuck Connors for example.
4:43 "Give yourself a screenwriter's credit!" ~Mike Bracken the Horror Geek
11:12 From the audience's perspective, that could be a double feature!
11:26 Possibly because "Return" has more humor and fun, while also being horrifying (especially given its fatalistic ending). Romero's pic-chah, by comparison, is yet another vehicle for yet another one of his preachy diatribes (while also being fatalistic). Captain Rhodes was a jerkweed, but his idea of dealing with the zombie plague from a warfare perspective actually makes sense. You put a good leader like Roland from the Borderlands mythos (insert reference to 'The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned') in that position, they'll get positive results.
If you were a teenage boy in the 80s, then you will never forget the Linnea Quigley dance scene
But damn, they managed to capture lightning in a bottle with this one…deeply unsettling with great practical effects while truly funny at some points
The Return Of The Living Dead is a movie I have watched dozens of times.
I even had the soundtrack
"Do you want to party? It's party time!"
I mean, they nuked Kentucky.
And the very beginning of the movie the scream read that "everything in this movie is true "
Between Return of the Living Dead and C.H.U.D. series they really did a great job entertaining us with campy horror films of the 80's. I rather miss this style of monster and zombie movies.
This movie was one of those horror/comedy movies I'll always love because it gave you just enough comedy and horror to make it a true classic. I had a couple close friends as a kid who had parents that owned a local store that also rented movies so we were literally raised on all these classics.
Great commentary - thanks. This movie is so weird, but it works! One of my favorite zombie films - great mix of gore and comedy which is very hard to pull off. I can sense as I watch it how hard it must have been to orchestrate the cast, effects and story and keep it cohesive and entertaining. BRAINS!
I remember seeing this on VHS in 1986 in my aunt's home with five of my cousins and it was extremely entertaining and the music great
LOVE this movie - it NEVER gets old watching, even after 35+ years later!!!! Can remember seeing this movie with my sister when it first came out in the theaters - it was a blast then and still is.
I just watched this 2 nights ago on Tubi!!! You are reading my BRAAAAAAIIIIINNNNNNNSSSSSS!
My friends and I saw this film the night of the release and love it so much we came back the next two nights to show it off to others lol.
I saw that movie in the theater back in the day. Loved it!
I remember the rain at the end of the movie. It when I left the theater that night alone and above the theater was a huge graveyard across the street
ROTLD is my all time favorite movie, bar none. But Jason Voorhees is my favorite horror movie icon. I think it's great that Mark Venturini AND Miguel Nunez Jr. had spots in the same F13 movie.
Saw this movie in the theater. ....and loved it.
I remember this movie and nightmare on elm scared the crap out of me
It says a lot that this film has so many cool scenes that half the time I forget Linea Quigley is 95% naked for most of the film. 😁🤣
The 95% bit is from an interview Linea did years later where she mentioned they had her use a "barbie patch" to avoid it counting as full nudity. Basically a sticky, strapless skin-toned thong that from a distance gave a barbie-like smooth profile.
My favorite movie. I remember seeing this movie in the theater. The movie made laugh and scared the crap out of me. Had to take my friend home after the movie and she lived right around the corner from a cemetery. We were freaking each other out and sped right past it not stopping almost past her house. I slowed down the car and told her to get out. I didn’t want to stick around if there were zombies near the cemetery.
It makes the pain go away
Barely 5 minutes in, and have learned a lot of things I didn't know about these old zombie movies. Very interesting, and informative video. I have a fantasy of one day writing, and producing my very own Night of the living dead, Romero inspired horror movie. Lol, one can dream 👍
Classic! Just watched it a couple days ago.
Sometimes the best movies are the ones that have the most troubling production.
I'll always remember my mom dropping my friend and I off at our mall theater to watch Teen Wolf, but we snuck in to watch Return of the Living Dead instead. Still my favorite zombie movie of all time.
i seen this movie when i was 4 years old it scared the hell out of me and has been my fav zombie movie still to this day at 42
