Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe filmmakers had to get approval from Lysol to have Frank spray away the stench of death with their product. "They liked the idea that Lysol would kill any conceivable odor."
- GoofsWhen Frank is explaining how the original Night of the Living Dead is based on a true story, he states that the true story occurred in 1969. However Night of the Living Dead (1968) was released in 1968, a year before the incident happened. In the original script Frank said the event happened in 1966, but Dan O'Bannon changed the line because he felt it would be better if the character was unreliable.
- Crazy creditsThe following phony disclaimer precedes the movie: "The events portrayed in this film are all true. The names are real names of real people and real organizations."
- Alternate versionsThe MGM 2002 DVD releases (UK and US) has had some changes in the audio compared to the original version:
- The Damned song Dead Beat Dance has been replaced with another song
- The Tar Man's voice has been re-recorded. However, the original Tar Man voice can be heard briefly during the closing credit sequence.
- The line "send more cops" has also been re-recorded
- The song "Take a walk" has been removed, now you only hear it for a few seconds with no vocals.
- The song "Burn the flames" has also been shortened.

Featured review
"Return of the Living Dead" is an often hilarious, often frightening, often disgusting, and always entertaining horror comedy. The cast is great, the dialogue is snappy and very quotable, and the special effects still hold up very well, nearly 20 years after the film's release. Fans of the horror genre, 1980s buffs, or just folks who enjoy something different occasionally will most likely get a kick out of it.
