THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (LIMITED EDITION)

THEY''''RE BACK FROM THE GRAVE... AND READY TO PARTY! Taking the genre that George A Romero invented and turning it on its (severed) head, Alien screenwriter Dan O''''Bannon made his directorial debut with one of the most beloved horror-comedies of the 1980s: the instant zombie classic The Return of the Living Dead. Freddy (Thom Mathews) is on his first day of work at the Uneeda Medical Supply Warehouse when his co-worker Frank (James Karen) decides to show off the airtight canisters filled with human remains in the basement, lost by the military long ago. One of the canisters unexpectedly leaks a poison gas and sets into motion a full-scale uprising of the undead, against which warehouse boss Burt (Clu Gulager), mortician Ernie (Don Calfa) and Freddy''''s punker friends (including scream queen Linnea Quigley) may be the last defence. If the zombies don''''t eat their brains first! Scored by an immortally cool punk/psychobilly soundtrack (featuring The Cramps, The Flesh Eaters and Tall Boys), The Return of the Living Dead has rib-tickling gags and gut-churning gore by the bucketload.
