The Return of the Living Dead 1985 Tapestry

The Return of the Living Dead is a 1985 horror comedy film about an accidental release of a horde of unkillable, brain-hungry zombies. Described as a mordant punk comedy, the film is known for introducing multiple popular concepts to the zombie genre: zombies specifically eating brains, and zombies being invulnerable to a gunshot to the head. The film's soundtrack was noteworthy, as it featured several Los Angeles-based metal and punk bands of the era. On his first day at Uneeda Medical Supply, poor Freddy unwittingly releases nerve gas from an old military canister, unleashing an unbelievable terror. The gas re-animates corpses, who arise from their graves with a ravenous hunger for human brains... zombie killing comedy ensues!
