Dan O’Bannon’s Punk-Zombie Classic Changes the Rules

An intentional departure from Romero’s Dead universe, 1985’s The Return of the Living Dead gave us fast-moving zombies, “Braaaains”, Tarman, and of course… Linnea Quigley.

Happy Halloween!!!

In the Rider’s first Halloween episode, Jason and Brian discuss how the movie was both a deconstruction and a valentine to the burgeoning zombie film lore of the 70’s and 80’s.

Plus: a reality show that takes some strange turns, a late-nite pirate radio session goes awry, and even Johnny Carson stops by to lend his support.

Join us, won’t you? An alternate universe awaits.
