A toxic gas escapes from a medical warehouse and infests a graveyard. Some punk rocker teens are partying down there when the dead start rising from the grave. It's brain eating time.

There are two good reasons to see this flick. One is Linnea Quigley. She spends a good portion of the movie naked. One of the best scenes has her dancing naked on a tombstone. A stellar B-movie moment. The other reason to see it is the copious amount of brain eating. The zombies want nothing more to do with you than to eat your brain. I had a flashback to one of the "Simpsons" Halloween episodes when I was watching this flick. The zombies in that episode also wanted a brain to eat but of course Homer didn't have enough of one to bother with.

"Return of the Living Dead" is a fun zombie flick. It has got Quigley's naked body and brain munching. You can't go wrong. I liked it.

SCORE: 3 out of 4 punk rocker Quigleys
