This is your yearly reminder that the horror-comedy The Return of the Living Dead (1985) has the most terrifying and deadliest depiction of zombies yet.
Why you may ask? Because…
They speak.
They run.
They are intelligent enough to set traps and deceive people.
Animals and insects can also become zombies.
They basically can’t be killed. Headshots and decapitations aren’t good enough. You have to burn the bodies to complete ash, or else body parts and bones will still come after you.
The fumes that come from incineration can still create more zombies via the water cycle (rain) being transferred into graves.
Zombies specifically eat brains to mitigate the pain that comes from being dead; It’s their only solace. This might also imply that dead people are still conscious and that 2 4 5 Trioxin only enables them to finally be animated.
Fun fact: The Return of the Living Dead is the reason why zombies are now portrayed as specifically loving brains. They literally say it constantly throughout the film that they love brains. Also, Tarman is definitely the coolest looking zombie ever!
