Excellent artwork by Carl Ramsey for the 80s zombie classic featuring the memorable Linnea Quigley (opens in a new tab) (represented here in her undead form). When I first saw the film I was a little mystified by her ‘Barbie doll’ look (smooth bump) when she’s naked in the graveyard and only later found out (opens in a new tab) that one of the producers made her wear prosthetics to cover up her privates. I can only imagine that it confused a lot of impressionable teenagers who were watching this back in the 1980s.
I recently bought the blu-ray and have to say the film still holds up really well – the creature designs and music are particular standouts. I’m definitely going to pick up ‘The Complete History of the Return of the Living Dead’ (opens in a new tab) book, which is meant to be excellent.
The original trailer is on YouTube (opens in a new tab).
