The Return of the Living Dead

(1985)Directed by Dan O'Bannon91 min · RComedy, Horror, Science Fiction
“They're back from the grave and ready to party!”

Burt (Clu Gulager) owns a medical supply warehouse in Louisville and spends his shift training a new hire, Freddy (Thom Mathews), under the watch of the older, nervier Frank (James Karen). A sealed army canister in the basement leaks, and the dead in the cemetery next door begin to climb out and look for brains. Dan O'Bannon plays it as a night of bad decisions, with the jokes and the gore landing in the same breath.
