Return of the Living Dead. Though it was tongue in cheek this movie scared the living shit out of 13 year old me.

Legit…45 now and still have the occasional tar man nightmare. Love this movie tho. And the soundtrack.

Fun fact…the director of this…wrote the original Alien movie.

And Peter Jackson, before showing us the glory of middle earth, made a film about an aussie slaying zombified townsfolk infected by a deep jungle rat mokey thing.

It's amazing how strange the previous works of many celebrated artists usually end up being.

That movie was called Dead Alive aka Braindead. Also, don't forget about Bad Taste, another crazy campy horror movie he was involved in.

Never seen bad taste, but dear God is dead alive phenomenal. The number of quotable lines and stupid out of context scenes alone make it a must watch, but add in the gratuitous practical effects....well worth it to watch it.
