October Horror Movie Challenge - Return of the Living Dead (1985)

Plot
Frank and his new employee Freddy accidentally unleash chemicals from a government experiment. The chemicals reanimate the dead who crave the brains of the living. Unlike typical zombies, these ones are intelligent. Meanwhile, Freddy's friends are hanging out in a nearby graveyard when the ghouls rise. 

Review
I love this movie and have talked about it many times. This is the punk rock zombie flick. It takes place in Louisville, KY, home of the Bloat Games crew. This flick has so much going for it. The cast is an eclectic and entertaining mix. The soundtrack is killer. Linnea Quigley dances naked. It also has one of my favorite zombie movie lines: "Come in dispatch. Send more paramedics." There are also several very memorable characters. This one has two of my favorite zombie flick protagonists, Don Calfa's Ernie Kaltenbrunner and Miguel Nunez's Spider are fantastic. They are also very practical, unlike may horror protagonists.
