Enjoyable commentary. "Tarman" was played by Allan Truatman who is a professional puppeteer, currently performing a live performance show created by Brian Henson called "Puppet Up!" Uncensored. Dan hired Allan because of Allan's understanding of "fluidity" in creating muppet movements when he worked for Jim Henson. In regards to myself and getting hired: Yes. Dan found me working at a private strip joint in Santa Monica called "The Ball". Dan was having little success in finding an actress willing to take off her clothes and stay naked for almost the entire movie. He first offered the part to a gal who was roughly 6ft and went by the stage name of "Leggs". There is a draft of the script where Dan names the "Trash" character "Leggs". However, the real "Leggs" lived in a van with her middle-aged boyfriend selling pot and turned the part down. The next gal offered the part was a girl named "DeeDee" and was all set except at the last moment she found out she was pregnant and there is a scripted version of her characters name "Deedee" too. Ha. Dan then turned to me and asked if I would like to be the "Naked Girl" but I had already been topless and or naked in so many a low-budget or men's magazine that being "Naked" in the rain and eaten by zombies wasn't that appealing do to my then current day gig involved posing with a large snake, naked. I was tired of being naked and begged Dan for one of the other roles where a character was clothed and was lucky enough to get the part of "Casey" named after my nickname as a kid growing up.
You seem knowledgeable, perhaps you can help me unravel this mystery. For the longest time (well over ten years, I'm 23) I've had recollections of what I think is a zombie movie made after this with kind of a punk vibe and aesthetic. What I recall is two young adults in a relationship and either the boy or girl (I think it's the girl) decide to rebel against their parents and run away together. I think they go into some secret chemical factory. I also recall seeing effects similar to this movies, as well as Tom savini, so it could possibly one of them even some other unknown SE artist/s. My memories on it are so vague I hardly know where to narrow it down. I had to have seen it among the many other movies I saw in my adolescence I shouldn't have been watching alone. More than likely a late 70's to mid 80's movie. Best of luck to you, random person on a RLM comment section who seems to know obscure details about movies who may or may not help. Edit: just recalled as of commenting I'm pretty sure our main characters are on a motorcycle and the antagonists are punk characters pursuing them in a van? And that some of the punks are affected by the chemical and become what I'm pretty sure are zombies? Sorry for the vagueness, I really don't remember much. I think our antagonists confront the two at a gas station before they run away to the factory? Another edit because research: what seemed like a rabbit hole at first really was more like a pothole. The imdb for this movie informed me that it had sequels and that I was thinking of I'm pretty sure is the third film? Definitely going to rewatch the trilogy soon. Nice performance by the way, I'm sure the only reason I remember the first one is because it's the best of them all.

The part where he kisses his wedding ring and leaves it on the controls was a bit heartbreaking. That's what I loved about this movie, if it wanted a funny or sad or tense scene, it did that scene unapologetic.
And it's the song playing that elevates it. Something I wish the reviewers had gotten into - the soundtrack was amazing! When the jaw drops and "Do you want to paaaartay!" blares! When Frank is facing the oven and "Burn...Burn to flames..." slowly plays. Awesome.
Frank's character arc was very well handled. When Freddie turns on his girlfriend and starts trying to eat her brains, you can see Frank's zombie book it out of the chapel in all of the chaos. Him kissing his wedding ring before he cremated himself was a great parallel to Freddy hounding and trying to eat his girlfriend's brains. Also, great foreshadowing with the line "Are you kidding? Even I could operate that thing!"
It's good to see that Linnea Quigley's career progressed from dancing naked while getting drenched in beer in 'Psycho from Texas' back in 1975, to dancing naked then getting drenched in mud while being devoured by zombies in 'Return of the Living Dead' in 1985.
@@Duncaster I literally did. Also I hit myself in the head in time with the review theme tune. that or I bite the back of my hand and punch my palm. I think its some kind of tourettes
Dan O'Bannon's masterpiece. RotLD is one of my favorite horror comedies that has ever been made. I'd say it's as close to perfection as a film can come.
I think hes the least scary one in the whole movie. Yeah he looks intimidating and creepy, but he's slow and falling apart. The fresh zombies are much scarier.
@@warbossgegguz679 The fresh zombies are much scarier? You mean the badly acting bunch of extras in their cheap makeup, running and jumping around like drunk party kids? Seriously? That's about as scary as children in Halloween costumes. That was always the one part destroying the atmosphere of the movie for me.
@@JewelShepardOfficial The real Jewel Shepard here on yt? Woah I have just seen this for the very first time the other night. My eyes were drawn to you everytime you were on screen
"I've probably seen Linnea Quigley naked more throughout my life than anyone I know personally" absolutely killed me. Also the only reason I knew about the Linnea Quigley Horror Workout before this video is because Perturbator sampled it on one of his songs. For once I knew about an obscure 80s horror thing before Jay brought it up!
Yes!! Iconic screaming if you ask me, super entertaining for me. Just end up laughing at the chaos. It's great how he came back as a grave robber in the 2nd 1 and he brought back the screaming/sobbing. Lol
@@GamerGuysReviews Bigfoot vs. D.B. Cooper Mostly because he contribution to that "movie" amount to two recorded lines with no physical appearance whatsoever.
Seriously, for YEARS I've been trying to remember the movie with the vivisection dog. And for the longest time I also confused the naked graveyard scenes with Ghostbusters, too!
Hahaha! Ms Quigley is FINE! I just saw *Night of the Demons* for the first time last week, she rocks in that.... (and *Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama* - always good for a laugh too) - Looking forward to checking out *Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers* next! XD
she was supposedly wearing a prosthetic crotch that scene so she wouldn't have her genitals exposed. given how all the other movies Jay referenced the actress being topless i guess this was in her contract or something about topless only XD
@@VenEm Yeah man.....I have NO idea why she does that (insert the whole lipstick into her left demon tit) I wonder maybe it's some kinda movie symbolism, that went right over my head?? It's pretty weird! XD Kick ass movie though!
The PACING of this movie 💯👍. This film has been a favorite of mine for 30 years now. I was lucky to see it in a theater about 5 years ago, and it was then that I realized this movie just goes bang bang bang from scene to scene. Rarely are movies paced so excellent. No boredom, nothing lost in any scene.
it's an easy 10/10 for me, with Romero's Day of the dead coming in second place, and Night of the Creeps in 3rd. My only nit pick with Return of the Living dead is with most of the 'extra' zombies. They looked like humans covered in mud. That's where they dropped the ball. XD When you compare them with Tar man, and the handful of other amazing looking zombies.
My favorite horror film of all time. Trash had a huge effect on teenage me. Lots of humor and genuine scares. This movie captured lightning in a bottle with cast, crew and all involved.
I had recurring nightmares about the tar man zombie chasing me at a slow pace around a conveniance store near my house. It was terrifiy but I could always just keep walking in circles. It never occurred to me to just leave the store. Love this film!
The first time I saw this movie it was the dead of winter and the middle of the night and I was very young. My older brother decided to put it on and I was enjoying it even though it was freaking me out. At some point my brother left but I kept watching. My house growing up was heated mainly with a wood/coal burning stove in the basement and we needed more coal in the house. The coal was in the backyard on the other side of the house from the backdoor and there was no light. So here I am, a little kid, having to go out in the middle of the night to get a bucket of coal on a night that felt extra dark with no flashlight right after watching this movie. It did not help that I had a vivid imagination. So yeah, I am a little scarred from watching this movie
This is the platonic ideal of 1980's Fangoria horror. It's what we imagine all these films were trying to be, but almost none of them were, and it's what so many horror directors decades later were trying to recreate.
Tar man is easily one of my favorite things in any movie with how detailed and nightmarish it looks. They absolutely nailed the design. I think they did a decent job on tar man in the sequel too, but that original design is absolutely stunning to this day.
@@GamerGuysReviews yeah... They definitely tried to just put in as many different goofy zombies as they could to appeal to a younger audience or to people that disliked the dark tone of the original. So Tar man had nothing more than just a cameo in the movie.
It’s amazing how much I can relate to Freddie on this. This movie terrified me as a kid. It’s that feeling of you cannot win against the monsters that are going to eat you. I’m glad there’s such a resurgence of appreciation for it.
Freddie's feelings toward the movie perfectly describe my relationship with Mars Attacks. I walked in on my parents watching it as a kid and it scared the hell out of me. It wasn't until later that I realized the whole thing was a big goofy joke. I can appreciate it for what it is now but something about it is still creepy to me just because it freaked me out so much as a child,
I had exactly the same experience as a 7 year old! I never met anyone with the same experience because in Holland movies are rarely dubbed so kids rarely watch non-disney American movies
You hit the nail on the head my friend. Between this movie and Independence Day, my childhood was ruled by nightmares of alien invasions. It's funny how imagery that is so outright comedic to adults can be sooooo misconstrued by children. For instance, the scene where the dove of peace is released and flies majestically into the air - only to be zapped by a laser and fall down as a perfectly fried skeleton bird. Now, I think that's one of the funniest parts in the movie, but back then, it scared the living *daylights* out of me. That image kept me up so many nights, haha. Independence Day is equally as non-scary now, but only because of it's incompetence.
Similar experience for me. Watched it with my brother and the throat slitting thing was probably one of the most fucked up things I saw at the time, and then there was the severed heads. Then I watched it again quite a few years later and it ended up being the funniest movie I've ever seen. It's a disasterpiece.
maaaate, no joke, sometimes (most times) I just refresh RUclips waiting for something to catch my eye or go down the rabbit hole on some mad tangent. Unless this pops up, then the whole world can fuck off for an hour whilst I watch.
@ Ian Collins It made me so happy to read how sad you get when you're happy to get that notification. But then I got sad. Which makes me really happy, sadly.
Freddie and I have a very similar past. I watched this when I was 8 years old, and it changed my life (it didn;t scar me though). Before then, I was just watching kid's movies that tried to sell me toys. I had watched a few horror movies on TV like Death Ship, but nothing like ROTLD. Then, on a warm summer afternoon in 1986, my friend's sister rented it, and we watched it together. I was speechless. It opened up a whole new world that I never knew existed. I became obsessed with ROTLD, and its decaying zombies, drawing them at school, in class, at home. I became a horror fan, but more importantly, a movie fan because of ROTLD. It's my favourite movie of all time. Thanks for reviewing it, guys.
Good lord, Freddie's story about this movie is almost EXACTLY like my own. My late mother was a huge horror movie buff and I grew up watching them with her. The music in ROTLD especially got to me as a kid. As much as it scared me as a kid, it is now one of my all time favorites. Thanks guys, for this fun video.
Thank you Freddie for articulating my experience with this film. I saw it when I was 8 (probably 1986) and was scarred for life! I love it so much to this day!
Fun fact #2 at 28:48 Miguel A. Núñez didn't think Don Calfa was going to slap him that hard but for realism Don really let him have it with two hard slaps. Originally it was supposed to be just a single slap and not so intense. After the take, Miguel was extremely pissed off and wanted to punch Don in the face. It ended with them yelling at each other and walking off. The director used the take since it was so good.
Nice to see a review of the greatest zombie movie ever. Well done! I work in animation and put the half-dog in a bunch of backgrounds on shows I worked on. Sitting there on a shelf somewhere in many, many cartoons.
@@ZootWorld1 Awesome, nice one. The version I have has the crematorium (and thus the classic Roky Erickson track) suicide scene cut down to almost nothing and one of the zombies has a really bad over-dubbed voice over the original audio. Feck knows why someone thought it was a good idea to do that to a monumentally classic horror.
The workprint (which is in a Living Dead set, and around online) is another cut worth tracking down,it has about 20 minutes of footage not in the final cut..
Oh man, Mark Venturini who played Suicide died about ten years after the movie came out, of leukemia - he was only 35 :( He really sold that character, "you think this is a costume!? This is a way of life!". Loved his performance.
My roommates and I have recently been on a Linnea Quigley movie streak and honestly she doesn’t miss… every single movie I’ve seen her in is really good. This and Night of the Demons are the best imo
I saw it when I was 9 yrs.old in a small theater in this little town in west Texas hill country that was totally in the middle of nowhere. All of the humor went right over my head, and it scared the living shit out of me, lol. By far it's the scariest movie I've ever seen, which is funny because now I see it much more as a comedy mixed with some horror and I really appreciate the great filmmaking and acting. Anyways when I saw it as a little kid I had to walk home by myself in the dark. And if you've ever lived in the country you know it gets dark as fuck at night. So my "walk" home quickly turned into an all out sprint for my life, sure at any moment I would feel a boney grip on my shoulder and hot putrid breath on my neck. That was on a Friday, and I went and saw in again the next night and ended up running for my life again, lol. One of my favorite movie memories. Phenomenal movie.
Similar story. Older brother showed it to me as a kid and it genuinely terrified me (specifically the spine lady, and when Freddy fully transforms and goes after Tina). Watched it again a couple years ago to "face my fears" and loved it. It's a great zombie/horror movie. I'm surprised they didn't talk about the great score either (the intro music is classic).
She was the naked girl coming out of Freddy in A Nightmare On Elm Street part 4 The Dream Master. Her husband proposed to her after she did that scene. I knew that the recognized those boobies lol!!!!!!!!
Nothing beats the 80's movies. Robo Cop, Predator, Return of the Living Dead, Red Dawn, Conan the Barbarian, Ghost Busters, basically any Eddie Murphy movie, and the list goes on and on.
There are hundreds of movies from the 80s nobody remembers or wants to remember. Yeah it seems like a great decade when you can just go back and look at only the good stuff, but there was just as much shit back then as there is now.
Secular Ascetic you've got a point but u have to admit they embraced R ratings, had FANTASTIC practical effects, and there wasn't this f-ed up "be offended by everything" society we're living in now. So in my book 80's movies are better.
@@nihilismistheonlyway4680 the 80s was just as offended by everything as people are today, it was just a different group of people. You had shit like the PMRC and other uptight organizations chastising everyone. I love all of the movies listed, and I love practical effects, but that doesn't mean every thing from the 80s is automatically better.
Watching a couple of creative guys respecting each other and sharing such a twisted early 'inappropriate' formative experience for each of them is pretty great.
Watched this movie all the time as a kid. Saw it on HBO, rented it regularly at my towns video store (Pick Ur Flicks), watched it every year around Halloween as an adult. This re:view brings me as much comfort as watching the actual movie. This movie is a way of life
This is one of the best zombie films ever made. The intro alone is worth the price of admission. The kid named spider had some of the funniest most realistic reactions and lines I've ever heard on film. Seriously this is a must see before you die. It can also be considered an unofficial sequel to the classic night of the living dead and enjoyed that way as well.
This was one of my favorite films growing up as a teen. I even owned the Soundtrack LP at one time because it was so time-era-perfect for teen punk angst. One point I'm disappointed you didn't discuss was Frank's decision at the end to incinerate himself, showing that he was fighting the urges of his brain and body to kill and ease his pain, but instead end it rather than hurting people he loved, like his wife. His pain was expertly acted and directed and I found the scoring of that scene to be quite powerful as well, as he hung his wedding band on the power switch. All the little details of this film just worked. An example is when Freddy was banging on the door to get to Tina's brains in the attic, and he stops and says how she made him break his hand completely off in the effort. It was a really dark version of the domestic abuse excuse of "look what you made me do" after a beating. The reason the movie works is because the production spent more time developing the characters than they did assuming they'd fix stuff with CGI later, like they might today. My brain understands that if the half-zombie's lips aren't moving, she can't form some of the sounds she's making, but if I'm so immersed in the story, I can overlook that. Today's CGI would make it perfect, but my brain would ALSO connect things like if the rest of her flesh rotted off, then why does she have a fulling functioning mouth, tongue and lips?? This is a great film that can be enjoyed from so many different angles and I thank you for putting it in your Re:View series.
The Return of the Living Dead fansite had a Kickstarter a few years ago. They were getting money together to fund their merch sales website. One of the tier prizes was a T-shirt with an illustration of the half-zombie girl with the words "Feeling sick? Take a half-day." I've always thought she had a strange kind of sad beauty to her. There's a great behind-the-scenes shot of Don Calfa (Ernie) holding the puppet and he's cradling her in a very gentle manner. It's just funny how so many zombie movies focus on how terrifying they are yet for a brief moment Return of the Living Dead granted one a sense of tragic humanity.
I'm with Freddie, man. This film scarred me as a kid. Looking back, I can see how silly that is, but it has a profound effect on me. I completely forgot about the nuking at the end. I remembered characters in the attic, zombies trying to open the door and then the acid rain at the end, but couldn't remember the nuke.
I saw this once a decade ago and then watched it again just recently because I found a bluray for cheap around last Halloween. I could not express how much I loved it upon watching it again here just recently. I loved everyone's performance, I loved the effects and the extreme bleakness of it all. I loved the great rock and roll attitude the film has. This is a film I'll be coming back to again and again over the years. Plus, Trash is amazing. Dang what a body.
Haven’t seen the video yet, but huge thanks for the upload, guys! Been a bit of shit week and this really puts a smile on my face. Frickin love this movie!
I’d love to see a Re:View episode on Brian Yuzna’s Society. Watched it for the first time a few months ago and it instantly became one of my favorite 80’s horror movies. It has a very satirical and campy tone but still manages to get under your skin. The climactic party scene is truly fucking glorious, takes body horror to a new level.
I watched this amazing film as a kid as well, although I think Im a bit older at 45, than Jay. Classic amazing film, along with Maximum Overdrive, Stand By Me, The Warriors, on and on.. Awesome films back then, cheesy and fun.
What's really great about this movie is how they bring these different kind of characters together to work together. You also didn't know who were the main characters or didn't think about it until later ton. Burt was just introduced as this boss guy then ends up becoming the lead with Ernie and Spider.
Ah, speaking of movies one watches in youth totally inappropriately, warping your mind for the rest of your life... (that I have the blu ray box set of sitting literally a foot away on my desk right now, in fact)
I remember when I was 18 years old, and it was the best opening weekend ever . In one theater, "Day of the Dead" and in another right next to it, "The Return of the Living Dead". this stuff was all new at the time and we loved it!
thank you. one of my favorite movies growing up (born in 71). this and evil dead and the thing were huge for me growing up. not the only ones but this movie doesn't get enough love.
My sister and I also were allowed to watch this way too young. My dad and us watched it maybe a hundred or more times. I’m talking maybe she was 5-6 and I was 8-9... maybe younger. It was just always a staple. One of the VHS tapes that was always playing. Even had a green sticker on it or some kind of reflective sticker if I recall correctly. I enjoyed this.
Simply one of the greatest zombie movies ever. Introducing "Fast" zombies long before 28 Days Later, introducing the idea of "BrAiNsSsSs," naked Linnea Quigley for every teenage boy to rewind and pause on over and over again until their video cassette broke and got stuck in their family's VCR, etc. And it's so quintessentially 80's, I'm surprised it's not more back in vogue given the Stranger Things obsession.

Seeing Frank cremate himself alive was one of the saddest images that I've ever seen in cinema history.
It's a sad moment in the film, but Frank was already dead (according to the paramedics).
The part where he kisses his wedding ring and leaves it on the controls was a bit heartbreaking.
That's what I loved about this movie, if it wanted a funny or sad or tense scene, it did that scene unapologetic.
I agree
And it's the song playing that elevates it. Something I wish the reviewers had gotten into - the soundtrack was amazing! When the jaw drops and "Do you want to paaaartay!" blares! When Frank is facing the oven and "Burn...Burn to flames..." slowly plays. Awesome.

I'm learning more about Jay's childhood. No wonder he is the way he is. Jumpin' Jack Flash with Whoopi Goldberg will do that to you.
It really does. So started his interest in the obscure, the horror, and the art house films that no one else in the RLM crew has ever heard of
I saw that movie as a kid too. I only remember Whoopi Goldberg biting the bad guy in the dick.
Pretty cruel of a parent to subject their child to Whoopi Goldberg.
Yeah,
there's nothing quite so detrimental to young developing minds than watching
Whoopi Goldberg comedies O~O
It's so cool you guys got Orson Welles to come back from the dead to talk about his favorite movie post-mortem.
They resurrected Dom Deluise.
"And then as a teenager, I watched it for an entirely different reason."
"What reason is that?"
Its not a bad question, Burt.
Underrated comment.
It's good to see that Linnea Quigley's career progressed from dancing naked while getting drenched in beer in 'Psycho from Texas' back in 1975, to dancing naked then getting drenched in mud while being devoured by zombies in 'Return of the Living Dead' in 1985.
she also shoved a cigerette through her nipple in 'night ov demons' in... (too lazy to look it up)
Wow this movie stars Linnea Quigley from the hit film Bigfoot vs. D.B. Cooper?
And the 1988 smash hit Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama!
And also the poor barmaid from the disturbing beer scene from Psycho from Texas (also an RLM classic review).
As a non native American, this comment alone is a gold mine lore wise
Fuck yeah, I love this movie. Great way to spend my Friday watching you two talk about it.
Video Is only half an hour long mate
damn your weekend was short ya nutter
Love ya, Gman. How’s yer mum?
Holy crap its gman!
Why do you watch all the same videos as me Sonny Jim, this is like the 50th time lol. Big fan!

Tarman remains the most terrifying on screen zombie to date.
Terrifying. Yet a strangely friendly face.
He's goofy and deadly at the same time.
He's very earnest.@@zubrhero5270
I think hes the least scary one in the whole movie. Yeah he looks intimidating and creepy, but he's slow and falling apart. The fresh zombies are much scarier.
@@warbossgegguz679
The fresh zombies are much scarier? You mean the badly acting bunch of extras in their cheap makeup, running and jumping around like drunk party kids?
Seriously? That's about as scary as children in Halloween costumes. That was always the one part destroying the atmosphere of the movie for me.
jesus christ the "Damn enchiladas!" cut puts me in pieces every time.
I will tell Miguel that the next time I see him 🤣🤣
@@JewelShepardOfficial The real Jewel Shepard here on yt? Woah I have just seen this for the very first time the other night. My eyes were drawn to you everytime you were on screen
"I've probably seen Linnea Quigley naked more throughout my life than anyone I know personally" absolutely killed me.
Also the only reason I knew about the Linnea Quigley Horror Workout before this video is because Perturbator sampled it on one of his songs. For once I knew about an obscure 80s horror thing before Jay brought it up!
I think the track he sampled it on was.. "Linnea Quigley Horror Workout"
The old guy carrying on in all the scenes yelling/screaming/sobbing “ohhhhhh!”, is freaking the best parts.
Yes!! Iconic screaming if you ask me, super entertaining for me. Just end up laughing at the chaos. It's great how he came back as a grave robber in the 2nd 1 and he brought back the screaming/sobbing. Lol
God bless James Karen, he was such a treat
Seeing Quigley naked more than anyone you actually know is probably not that uncommon a situation.
@@GamerGuysReviews Bigfoot vs. D.B. Cooper
Mostly because he contribution to that "movie" amount to two recorded lines with no physical appearance whatsoever.
@@Mutant1988
I suspect she was naked when recording those lines to keep up with her combo.
Andy Baxter You mean the Gary Busey Quigley?
The Academy Awards used a clip of James Karen from Return of the Living Dead to honor him in their In Memoriam segment.
Seriously, for YEARS I've been trying to remember the movie with the vivisection dog. And for the longest time I also confused the naked graveyard scenes with Ghostbusters, too!
Jay's random knowledge of directors and actors in obscure movies always impresses me.
I broke my VHS copy as a teen constantly pausing and rewinding to watch Trash's strip dance.
Hahaha! Ms Quigley is FINE!
I just saw *Night of the Demons* for the first time last week, she rocks in that....
(and *Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama* - always good for a laugh too) - Looking forward to checking out *Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers* next! XD
she was supposedly wearing a prosthetic crotch that scene so she wouldn't have her genitals exposed. given how all the other movies Jay referenced the actress being topless i guess this was in her contract or something about topless only XD
@@zetetick395 i saw it ages ago and never knew she was the titty lipstick chick
She was a bombshell back then, good lord
@@VenEm Yeah man.....I have NO idea why she does that (insert the whole lipstick into her left demon tit)
I wonder maybe it's some kinda movie symbolism, that went right over my head?? It's pretty weird! XD
Kick ass movie though!
The PACING of this movie 💯👍. This film has been a favorite of mine for 30 years now. I was lucky to see it in a theater about 5 years ago, and it was then that I realized this movie just goes bang bang bang from scene to scene. Rarely are movies paced so excellent. No boredom, nothing lost in any scene.
it's an easy 10/10 for me, with Romero's Day of the dead coming in second place, and Night of the Creeps in 3rd.
My only nit pick with Return of the Living dead is with most of the 'extra' zombies. They looked like humans covered in mud. That's where they dropped the ball. XD When you compare them with Tar man, and the handful of other amazing looking zombies.
My favorite horror film of all time. Trash had a huge effect on teenage me. Lots of humor and genuine scares. This movie captured lightning in a bottle with cast, crew and all involved.
Hello!
*lightning
The 3rd one is good.
Hail Cecil
Trash's body was, like, fucking perfectly proportioned. Teenage us didn't stand a chance.
I had recurring nightmares about the tar man zombie chasing me at a slow pace around a conveniance store near my house. It was terrifiy but I could always just keep walking in circles. It never occurred to me to just leave the store. Love this film!
The first time I saw this movie it was the dead of winter and the middle of the night and I was very young. My older brother decided to put it on and I was enjoying it even though it was freaking me out. At some point my brother left but I kept watching. My house growing up was heated mainly with a wood/coal burning stove in the basement and we needed more coal in the house. The coal was in the backyard on the other side of the house from the backdoor and there was no light. So here I am, a little kid, having to go out in the middle of the night to get a bucket of coal on a night that felt extra dark with no flashlight right after watching this movie. It did not help that I had a vivid imagination. So yeah, I am a little scarred from watching this movie
I love how the movie subtly implies that Ernie might be a fan of Germany circa 1935-1945
And he tries to hide in the attic to survive 😂
@@Louis-wp3fq that didnt even occur to me lol. That has to be intentional lol
This is the platonic ideal of 1980's Fangoria horror. It's what we imagine all these films were trying to be, but almost none of them were, and it's what so many horror directors decades later were trying to recreate.
Linnea Quigley dance is one of the reasons why I found Gozer hot
Tar man is easily one of my favorite things in any movie with how detailed and nightmarish it looks. They absolutely nailed the design.
I think they did a decent job on tar man in the sequel too, but that original design is absolutely stunning to this day.
@@GamerGuysReviews yeah... They definitely tried to just put in as many different goofy zombies as they could to appeal to a younger audience or to people that disliked the dark tone of the original. So Tar man had nothing more than just a cameo in the movie.
It’s amazing how much I can relate to Freddie on this. This movie terrified me as a kid. It’s that feeling of you cannot win against the monsters that are going to eat you. I’m glad there’s such a resurgence of appreciation for it.
Freddie's feelings toward the movie perfectly describe my relationship with Mars Attacks. I walked in on my parents watching it as a kid and it scared the hell out of me. It wasn't until later that I realized the whole thing was a big goofy joke. I can appreciate it for what it is now but something about it is still creepy to me just because it freaked me out so much as a child,
Same! Rewatching it though the comedy is so much better with that tinge of childhood trauma.
I had exactly the same experience as a 7 year old! I never met anyone with the same experience because in Holland movies are rarely dubbed so kids rarely watch non-disney American movies
You hit the nail on the head my friend. Between this movie and Independence Day, my childhood was ruled by nightmares of alien invasions.
It's funny how imagery that is so outright comedic to adults can be sooooo misconstrued by children. For instance, the scene where the dove of peace is released and flies majestically into the air - only to be zapped by a laser and fall down as a perfectly fried skeleton bird. Now, I think that's one of the funniest parts in the movie, but back then, it scared the living *daylights* out of me. That image kept me up so many nights, haha.
Independence Day is equally as non-scary now, but only because of it's incompetence.
Similar experience for me. Watched it with my brother and the throat slitting thing was probably one of the most fucked up things I saw at the time, and then there was the severed heads. Then I watched it again quite a few years later and it ended up being the funniest movie I've ever seen. It's a disasterpiece.
I first saw Poltergeist when I was nine.....
To this day: Fuck that toy clown! O~O
The guy playing that preacher is so late 90s it’s horrific. How did Russo think that was going to pass?
Looks more like Anton LeVay than a Christian Reverend.

Tarman scared the hell out of me as a kid. It still creeps me out as an adult.
Tarman startled me but I thought I got over it quickly until 3 nights later when he invaded my dreams . Lol ...not fun
"Mmmmm..... brains!"
I love the way Tar Man see's humans as nothing more than "brains" and only "brains."
Same here...the scene when Tarman walks out and goes after Tina, haunted me for years as a kid.
It's sad how happy it makes me when I get the notification for new Red Letter Media content.
It's not sad. It's exciting :D
Same here..only notification that ever is exciting
maaaate, no joke, sometimes (most times) I just refresh RUclips waiting for something to catch my eye or go down the rabbit hole on some mad tangent.
Unless this pops up, then the whole world can fuck off for an hour whilst I watch.
It's okay, dude. We're all lonely as fuck.
@ Ian Collins
It made me so happy to read how sad you get when you're happy to get that notification. But then I got sad. Which makes me really happy, sadly.
Freddie and I have a very similar past.
I watched this when I was 8 years old, and it changed my life (it didn;t scar me though). Before then, I was just watching kid's movies that tried to sell me toys. I had watched a few horror movies on TV like Death Ship, but nothing like ROTLD. Then, on a warm summer afternoon in 1986, my friend's sister rented it, and we watched it together. I was speechless. It opened up a whole new world that I never knew existed. I became obsessed with ROTLD, and its decaying zombies, drawing them at school, in class, at home. I became a horror fan, but more importantly, a movie fan because of ROTLD.
It's my favourite movie of all time. Thanks for reviewing it, guys.
Good lord, Freddie's story about this movie is almost EXACTLY like my own. My late mother was a huge horror movie buff and I grew up watching them with her. The music in ROTLD especially got to me as a kid. As much as it scared me as a kid, it is now one of my all time favorites. Thanks guys, for this fun video.
Thank you Freddie for articulating my experience with this film. I saw it when I was 8 (probably 1986) and was scarred for life! I love it so much to this day!

Fun fact #2 at 28:48 Miguel A. Núñez didn't think Don Calfa was going to slap him that hard but for realism Don really let him have it with two hard slaps. Originally it was supposed to be just a single slap and not so intense. After the take, Miguel was extremely pissed off and wanted to punch Don in the face. It ended with them yelling at each other and walking off. The director used the take since it was so good.
Quite possibly the most boring "fun fact" of all time. You did it.
@@111highgh quite possibly the most cunty response on youtube. Quite the accomplishment. Well done.
Nice to see a review of the greatest zombie movie ever. Well done! I work in animation and put the half-dog in a bunch of backgrounds on shows I worked on. Sitting there on a shelf somewhere in many, many cartoons.
Oh, we get a lot of orders for split dogs.
My favourite zombie film ever. Seems to be hard to get hold of the original uncut (and without terrible overdubs) version though.
Just get the Scream Factory release. It's the only version you'll ever need.
@@ZootWorld1 Awesome, nice one. The version I have has the crematorium (and thus the classic Roky Erickson track) suicide scene cut down to almost nothing and one of the zombies has a really bad over-dubbed voice over the original audio. Feck knows why someone thought it was a good idea to do that to a monumentally classic horror.
The workprint (which is in a Living Dead set, and around online) is another cut worth tracking down,it has about 20 minutes of footage not in the final cut..
@@cardiacade The sequal was unfortunately butchered with edits and soundtrack replacements as well. Luckily the recent blu ray has rectified this.
@@chriscorben-green2640 Haven't seen the workprint yet, surprised there's that much footage cut out in the final version.
Oh man, Mark Venturini who played Suicide died about ten years after the movie came out, of leukemia - he was only 35 :(
He really sold that character, "you think this is a costume!? This is a way of life!". Loved his performance.
One of the best soundtracks ever.
My roommates and I have recently been on a Linnea Quigley movie streak and honestly she doesn’t miss… every single movie I’ve seen her in is really good. This and Night of the Demons are the best imo
Heh heh..."streak"

You'll feel better after you shit!
James woods?
Oooo Baby oooo Baby
I saw it when I was 9 yrs.old in a small theater in this little town in west Texas hill country that was totally in the middle of nowhere. All of the humor went right over my head, and it scared the living shit out of me, lol. By far it's the scariest movie I've ever seen, which is funny because now I see it much more as a comedy mixed with some horror and I really appreciate the great filmmaking and acting. Anyways when I saw it as a little kid I had to walk home by myself in the dark. And if you've ever lived in the country you know it gets dark as fuck at night. So my "walk" home quickly turned into an all out sprint for my life, sure at any moment I would feel a boney grip on my shoulder and hot putrid breath on my neck. That was on a Friday, and I went and saw in again the next night and ended up running for my life again, lol. One of my favorite movie memories. Phenomenal movie.

Damn even more than Mike?
Linnea, not Lenah.
She was my first pair of movie breasts I saw.
What a horrible fate! My heart bleeds for you 🤣🤣
Similar story. Older brother showed it to me as a kid and it genuinely terrified me (specifically the spine lady, and when Freddy fully transforms and goes after Tina). Watched it again a couple years ago to "face my fears" and loved it. It's a great zombie/horror movie.
I'm surprised they didn't talk about the great score either (the intro music is classic).
The HORROR sticker on Jay's jacket never fails to make me smile.

She was the naked girl coming out of Freddy in A Nightmare On Elm Street part 4 The Dream Master. Her husband proposed to her after she did that scene. I knew that the recognized those boobies lol!!!!!!!!
In a documentary she revealed that her dad was a doctor and because of the nature of the work, she was always comfortable with nudity.
Return of the living Dead. Came out when I was in 11th grade and WE LOVED IT! Still do.
Nothing beats the 80's movies. Robo Cop, Predator, Return of the Living Dead, Red Dawn, Conan the Barbarian, Ghost Busters, basically any Eddie Murphy movie, and the list goes on and on.
These men are pawns
There are hundreds of movies from the 80s nobody remembers or wants to remember. Yeah it seems like a great decade when you can just go back and look at only the good stuff, but there was just as much shit back then as there is now.
Secular Ascetic you've got a point but u have to admit they embraced R ratings, had FANTASTIC practical effects, and there wasn't this f-ed up "be offended by everything" society we're living in now. So in my book 80's movies are better.
@@nihilismistheonlyway4680 the 80s was just as offended by everything as people are today, it was just a different group of people. You had shit like the PMRC and other uptight organizations chastising everyone. I love all of the movies listed, and I love practical effects, but that doesn't mean every thing from the 80s is automatically better.
@@warbossgegguz679 yeah the current progressive left and evangelical right from the 80's, have swapped places in terms of being offended.
Freddie Williams. Nice! I met him at ComicCon a few years ago.
Tar man is still the coolest looking creature I've ever seen in a film. Even the way he turns that crank is gross
Watching a couple of creative guys respecting each other and sharing such a twisted early 'inappropriate' formative experience for each of them is pretty great.
So... send you DVD copies of Jumping Jack Flash ...
Gotcha
They also need more copies of Nukie !!
Wish Freddy would come back sometime, very knowledgeable guest that fit in well with the gang.
I too was scarred by this one, I was sure the one they tied down and questioned at the end was going to come through my window while I was sleeping.
Don't worry, in all the times I've been at your window I've never seen anyone going to break in.
Watched this movie all the time as a kid. Saw it on HBO, rented it regularly at my towns video store (Pick Ur Flicks), watched it every year around Halloween as an adult. This re:view brings me as much comfort as watching the actual movie. This movie is a way of life
This is one of the best zombie films ever made. The intro alone is worth the price of admission. The kid named spider had some of the funniest most realistic reactions and lines I've ever heard on film. Seriously this is a must see before you die. It can also be considered an unofficial sequel to the classic night of the living dead and enjoyed that way as well.
10:42 I always laugh my ass off at that part!
"You mean the movie lied?!" XD
This was one of my favorite films growing up as a teen. I even owned the Soundtrack LP at one time because it was so time-era-perfect for teen punk angst. One point I'm disappointed you didn't discuss was Frank's decision at the end to incinerate himself, showing that he was fighting the urges of his brain and body to kill and ease his pain, but instead end it rather than hurting people he loved, like his wife. His pain was expertly acted and directed and I found the scoring of that scene to be quite powerful as well, as he hung his wedding band on the power switch.
All the little details of this film just worked. An example is when Freddy was banging on the door to get to Tina's brains in the attic, and he stops and says how she made him break his hand completely off in the effort. It was a really dark version of the domestic abuse excuse of "look what you made me do" after a beating.
The reason the movie works is because the production spent more time developing the characters than they did assuming they'd fix stuff with CGI later, like they might today. My brain understands that if the half-zombie's lips aren't moving, she can't form some of the sounds she's making, but if I'm so immersed in the story, I can overlook that. Today's CGI would make it perfect, but my brain would ALSO connect things like if the rest of her flesh rotted off, then why does she have a fulling functioning mouth, tongue and lips??
This is a great film that can be enjoyed from so many different angles and I thank you for putting it in your Re:View series.
Damn, Freddie is such a fantastic guest, really wish they'd had done more videos with him

The Return of the Living Dead fansite had a Kickstarter a few years ago. They were getting money together to fund their merch sales website. One of the tier prizes was a T-shirt with an illustration of the half-zombie girl with the words "Feeling sick? Take a half-day." I've always thought she had a strange kind of sad beauty to her. There's a great behind-the-scenes shot of Don Calfa (Ernie) holding the puppet and he's cradling her in a very gentle manner. It's just funny how so many zombie movies focus on how terrifying they are yet for a brief moment Return of the Living Dead granted one a sense of tragic humanity.
I'm with Freddie, man. This film scarred me as a kid. Looking back, I can see how silly that is, but it has a profound effect on me. I completely forgot about the nuking at the end. I remembered characters in the attic, zombies trying to open the door and then the acid rain at the end, but couldn't remember the nuke.
I saw this once a decade ago and then watched it again just recently because I found a bluray for cheap around last Halloween. I could not express how much I loved it upon watching it again here just recently. I loved everyone's performance, I loved the effects and the extreme bleakness of it all. I loved the great rock and roll attitude the film has. This is a film I'll be coming back to again and again over the years. Plus, Trash is amazing. Dang what a body.
Haven’t seen the video yet, but huge thanks for the upload, guys! Been a bit of shit week and this really puts a smile on my face. Frickin love this movie!
The fact that they made this masterpiece on 3 million dollars (8 million today) is amazing. Also, no mentions of the brilliant soundtrack??
Damn, the guy that played Suicide (Mark Venturini) was young when he died. He was 35 years old. He was also in a Friday the 13th movie, btw.
And I wish they had googled his name instead of being so dismissive as calling him "some guy" or "that guy"
@bigevilworldwide1 part 5 isn't that bad, but compared to 4 and 6 it's definitely the weakest of the Tommy Jarvis trilogy
@@MichaelAllred I agree 100%, especially when you hear how the cast felt about him in the dvd commentary. They absolutely adored him.
I’d love to see a Re:View episode on Brian Yuzna’s Society. Watched it for the first time a few months ago and it instantly became one of my favorite 80’s horror movies. It has a very satirical and campy tone but still manages to get under your skin. The climactic party scene is truly fucking glorious, takes body horror to a new level.
I watched this amazing film as a kid as well, although I think Im a bit older at 45, than Jay. Classic amazing film, along with Maximum Overdrive, Stand By Me, The Warriors, on and on.. Awesome films back then, cheesy and fun.
The Warriors and First Blood 1st movies we got on VHS. We stayed up all Saturday night watching both of them.
Freddie is the GOAT special guest.
I'd watch any episode with any guest, but he guarantees a great viewing experience.
RIP Clu Gulager.
May you return and feed on lots of brains
What's really great about this movie is how they bring these different kind of characters together to work together. You also didn't know who were the main characters or didn't think about it until later ton. Burt was just introduced as this boss guy then ends up becoming the lead with Ernie and Spider.
One of my favorite movies of all time......straight up fun! A yearly tradition to watch during the Halloween season!

Is Linnea Quigley replacing Gozer the Gozerian?
My sister and I also were allowed to watch this way too young. My dad and us watched it maybe a hundred or more times. I’m talking maybe she was 5-6 and I was 8-9... maybe younger. It was just always a staple. One of the VHS tapes that was always playing. Even had a green sticker on it or some kind of reflective sticker if I recall correctly. I enjoyed this.
RIP James Karen (Frank).
Simply one of the greatest zombie movies ever. Introducing "Fast" zombies long before 28 Days Later, introducing the idea of "BrAiNsSsSs," naked Linnea Quigley for every teenage boy to rewind and pause on over and over again until their video cassette broke and got stuck in their family's VCR, etc. And it's so quintessentially 80's, I'm surprised it's not more back in vogue given the Stranger Things obsession.
