Suicide is my favorite character by far. The whole time he's asking why they even wanted him around other than having his car. He hates that the cemetary is full of garbage and when Trash rubs up on him he feels like it's disrespectful to do that in a cemetery. He's also the first one to go in to help Tina. What a guy Suicide was

Everyone who ever watches this for the first time: "Who uses the roll!!?" 😆

The actress who played trash was in a lot of horror movies....and she is evidently not shy. And yes her being naked was an essential part of the movie.... without a doubt.

This is one of those movies that gets better and better the more times you watch it. I crack up at “you mean the movie lied!?” and the dwarf zombie when he eats it every time.

Correction, Trash did in fact wear a muff cover by regulation, it just wasn't a very big one but it was used to cover what little she revealed.

Actually, O'Bannon was the writer. He was the original scriptwriter for "Alien". This was not connected to the Romero movies.

The cadaver bursting out of the freezer and their squirming reactions were pure gold to me as a kid. I remember recoiling in horror as a kid. It was hilarious.

If you think the Burt and Ernie bit is funny you should know the first 2 paramedics are credited as Tom and Jerry 😄

"Watch your tongue, boy, if you like this job!" "LIKE THIS JOB?!" 😂

If there was a zombie apocalypse these would probably be the last zombies I would want to deal with. They run, they can think, and they do not die from conventional zombie killing means. Even burning them can lead to more zombies. Love this movie btw, remember watching it when I was like 8 years old.

Absolutely fantastic reaction!!! I saw this when I was 13 and this is STILL, my favorite horror movie. Thank you sooo much for doing this... I F'N loved it!!!

The hardest thing to believe, for me, at least, is someone living on a U.S. Army colonel's salary living in a friggin' mansion like that.

Greatest zombie movie of all time. Seen it probably a hundred times. I'm with you all the way, young man. Subbed!

Return of the living Dead was a perfect example for comedy horror and I absolutely loved it and the soundtrack is killer and the tar man always creeped me out zombie🧟

The chemical in this is called 'Trioxin'. That's what reanimated the zombies here. And Trioxin zombies are no joke, as you saw. Also, found it hilarious how, when Trash started stripping, you hear "Trash is getting naked again." like she does this all the time. Which is probably why they were told they'd be shot if they went back to that one park. Also, the guy who played Suicide in this was also briefly in Friday the 13th: The New Blood with Miguel Nunez, the 'token' black guy all these movies had back then.

One of the first people to do a First Time Watch of this that I've seen. Great Reaction Video! BTW Linnea Quigley who played Trash had a little special effects covering on her crotch area. They had to because it would have given the movie an X rating to have her full frontal dancing of the tombstone. The 80's had censored everything back then, especially in Horror movies.

Awesome movie, i watched it when i was 10, and made me shit myself, i was not able to sleep for a week, i remember seeing tarman face in the dark halls of my house for a month. this one made me become a fan of Zombies.

Greatest zombie movie ever. Shooting them in the head doesn't work and burning them doesn't work perfect ending to the movie also. The whole world is doomed. 🤘♥️

Dude! I NEVER caught the Bert and Ernie thing until this reaction and I've been watching this movie for 20 years. Awesome!

This was such a terrifying yet hilarious zombie movie. I really did enjoy seeing you two react to it.

42:28 you are correct! The character of Ernie is portrayed as having some sort of connection to WWII Nazi Germany. Aside from the luger and the crematorium, if you notice, there is a picture of Eva Braun on his bulletin board behind him next to the steel front door. Also when we first see him in the film when he is embalming, he is listening to old German war music on his headphones. Incidentally, the door on the crematorium itself is eerily shaped similar to those of the Nazi concentration camps’ crematoriums. Also, the crematorium room is lit up (shadow lighting) to resemble bars on the walls, which resembles the prisons that were the concentration camps

I love how Dan O'bannon used real life NotZee Ernst Kaultenbruner(he helped refine the furnaces for more efficiency for the Afrika Corp if I remember right) for his basis for Ernie. The picture of Eva Braun on his desk, his singing of the wartime song for the invasion of France while embalming, and his Walther pistol(the movie has an alternate history where he faked his end). I never caught on til I was older and did the research(ah the innocence of youth) and realized DOB put that much forethought and backstory into the characters. It sure puts a different perspective on why Ernie was so interested in the zombies and their feelings considering his dark past. One of the funniest and scariest movies for me growing up, the unstoppable nature of the zombies and their fast movements makes the terror in this one!

As soon as she was saying to burn them I knew that was a bad idea. And as for Linnea Quigley, her getting naked was 90% of the reason they got her in movies, need to see Night of the Demons soon.

I love this movie so much. It was on constant repeat when I was a little kid. Trash was one of the first nude women I ever saw in a movie. XD

One of my all time favorite movies! Seen this one at the theater when it first came out. It's in my top 10 horror movies of all time! And yes the nudity was a must back then! If you guys haven't already check out the movie "Demons" also in my top 10!

Tar-man & Zom Trash (Look at the close ups on her face) used to scare the hell out of me as a kid You guys need to see House(1986) if you haven't & Rawhead Rex

P.S. Yes, it was necessary for Trash to be naked. It was who she was. The 80s had its' share of johnson, too, but not in the greatest zombie movie of all time.

It’s amazing and awesome to see so many loving this movie. This was always my favorite and I love all the zombie flicks and own 10 of them myself. This was just so unique and fun

One of my favorite films of all time. I also LOVE Return 3, tho Return 2 is at least kind of amusing, (I’d leave it on if it were already on, but of all the films this one and the 3rd are the only ones I would actually put on.) 👍🏼

It was the 80s. WWII was only 40 years before. So even if he was in his 60s he would have been in his 20s in WWII

So glad you watched this awesome zombie movie ! Love the soundtrack, characters and the tar man - lol xx

What I love about watching reactions to this movie, every reactor says on cue at the beginning burn it, then when they do, they're exasperated and say why did those idiots burn it! I think that's a sign of a good movie when you the viewer feel like you're there with the protagonists trying figure things out and sharing the same thought process and reaction. Too many things I like about this movie to mention. Trash getting full on naked (even though she's wearing small prosthetic) it's wild.

Italian zombie films made by Brava like "Zombie (2)" and "Zombie 3" are very gory in a realistic rotting, decaying way. As far as nudity goes, actually she did have a prosthesis covering her front lady bits. And as a person who grew up in the 70's and 80's (I was in my 20's), no, we didn't watch these films to get off. It was just more socially accepted, and we didn't have near the amount of censorship and "right think" like we have today. It was a different time, different culture. Just like the 70's were.

One of my favorite Childhood/Teenage Movies. Fanks For The Reaction on This Stuff! Sand Me Back in Time for One Moment! P.S.:Sceene with dancing Trash on the Cemetery still holds Me Up!

Frank and Freddy were dead almost immediately. That's why Tarman didn't chow down on their delicious brains, and why Fresh Cadaver ran past them and grabbed Burt.

Great reaction! I remember seeing this in theater with a bunch of friends when it came out on opening day.

One of my all time favorite movies (and one of 3 posters I have on my wall). Can't believe I never thought to look up reactions to this until now

Congratulations on hitting 1k subs! You guys are great Keep up the amazing content.

17:55…and that’s why the army put the bodies into barrels and didn’t incinerate them.

17:54 "How else are you supposed to beat it" Me: You can't.

Thanks for making this. Great to have new fans of the best zombie movie ever. Worth a subscribe. Also, major plus for showing the unedited version with the original music.

When they were spit-balling ideas for zombies, They drew up some EC Comics-style characters. One of the designs named "Legs" was a zombie dancer wearing only legwarmers. They managed to work her into the movie, and Linnea Quigley happened to jump-start the puberty of a certain young lad when this first came out on video.

Shotout to the soundtrack btw. The cramps, 45 grave, the damned, tsol, just super good shit

This was my first time watching this channel, and one of my favorite movies! I'm subscribing, and looking forward to watching many more of your videos. Happy 3rd anniversary!

What I heard about that Trash naked scene was that the producers were against it unless she was shaven down there. When she started dancing you could see everything, and I mean as her gynecologist could see everything. So the same producer said that they need her bush back to cover he vjayjay hole, but because it will take time to grow they made her a pubic hair wig so production will not be disturbed.

I've seen this movie countless times and I love it well I love all of the living dead movies, dawn of the dead, Night of the living dead those were all part of that movie

That was indeed a triple amputee. Knows how to move on his stumps somewhat.

17:24 foreshadowing of him burning himself later

Actually,the biggest question you should be asking is how the zombies got out of their graves.People are buried 6 feet deep in coffins.The reason why,is because due to rainfall and other conditions,so that the coffins won't resurface and that had happened throughout history.

The nude girl was Linnea Quigley famous scream Queen of the B horror movies of the 80's and 90's. One of her other notable movies is, "Night of the Demons." The year that movie came out I dressed like her for Halloween in the pink dress and even did a bend over in 7-Eleven on a dare from my friends.

“YEAH”. Exactly my reaction when I saw this for the first time at like 12 and every time since.

the eyechart in the office spells "Burt is a slave driver"

Dan O'Banion and John Russo were geneses for reinventing the book to play up the punk angle was amazing and the best movie for 1985 when I first seen this it scared the living crap outta me as a 12 year old I never knew ten 11 years later it would be one of my favorite movies as an adult rip gorge Romero for starting the zombie genre

Another 80's scifi/horror film with a character that runs around in the nude is Lifeforce. This is a vampire like character that comes from outer space to suck the life out of humans.

In answer to your question: Medical cadavers are dyed yellow and drained of blood to make it easier for students during dissection. The production designer, William Stout, also hated the skeleton for the reasons you noted i.e. the fresh eyes. The original effects artist did a half-assed job. Here is what it was supposed to look like (bottom images): 28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvivz5B3HJ1qzsz6ro1_500.jpg

Ernie is based on Ernst Kaltenbrunner. A committed anti-Semite and fanatical Hitler loyalist, Kaltenbrunner oversaw a period in which the genocide of Jews intensified. He was the highest-ranking member of the SS to face trial. The crematorium in the film is based on the look of the ones from the death camps. Ernie listens to the German Afrika Corps march song "Panzer rollen in Afrika vor" on his Walkman while he embalms bodies, carries a German Walther P38, has a picture of Eva Braun in his morgue.

He didn't have a Luger. He had a Walther P38.

We new Trash was gonna die from zombies because she fantasized about it.

I rank this movie right up there with the likes of "Army Of Darkness" due to the sheer number of quotable, memorable lines.

Just found your channel, love the content guys! Subbed

You react to this movie, I subscribe, that's the rule. I hope Night of the Demons (1988) is on the list, assuming you can both handle strobe lights. I seem to recall (from some documentary or something) something about the director hanging the corpse by the head from hooks just because he thought it looked creepy and figured most people would just shiver and not question it...sooo...yeeeah... Great post-movie discussion by the way. A lot of reactors struggle with that or treat it like an afterthought.

Linnea Quigley is epic as grave dancer and other scary movies

I love this movie trilogy. I can't tell which one is my favorite between this and the 3rd film.

Not a film but another source of intelligent zombies would be the TV show iZombie that ran for 5 seasons from 2015 to 2019. A great show for the first 2 seasons, the last 3 weren't as good but I still saw every episode.

Its actually genius to use the role to mop up spills depending on amount of liquid lol 😊

she didnt have bite marks or get devoured because her body is already transformed like freddy and the old guy, from the rain remember?

11:27 - I died at this reaction. XD

First. Your girlfriend is the typical female thats jump, squirms and grabbed hold of you. 2. I love this movie that I seen 10 times when it came out. Here is a movie you two may want to view(that if YOU two haven't seen it) ZOMBIEWORLD. It has many dying of laughter.

Living in Kentucky, my mom always loved this movie because she likes seeing Louisville get nuked. Never mind the fact that we live close enough to be caught up the aftermath.

Awesome Count Orlock’s shirt! I grew up in Salem

The paramedics, were named Tom and Jerry, BTW

actually yes she had a latex piece covering her lady bits it was in the documentry

Only seen a few of your guy’s vids, I do so love seeing my favorite movie through the eyes of a first time viewer so I thank you for that. Definitely I rely worth a like and subscribe for sure. As this is my all time favorite zombie flick I would like to add just one piece of trivia (I would hate to go full geek on it), the back of Freddy’s jacket, in that lovely sporty highscool font eloquently says “Fuck You,” there was an alternate jacket used for the “tv version” of the movie that literally said the tv version instead. Also the Don Kalfa (Ernie) plays in a different zombie flick that should be on your radar, Chopper Chicks in Zombietown. Not as good but funny.

You guys need more coverage! It's not everyday that we get a duo that enjoys horror movies together on the algorithm.

a fun movie and truly horrifying zombies. it spawned 4 sequels: the 2nd one they figured out how to kill them; 3rd movie the military was trying to 'use' them; beginning with the 4th one they made the zombies easy to kill sadly; now the 5th one was back to fun and titled 'rave to the grave' and a tar man returned to the film if you enjoy fun zombie movies watch: 'cockneys vs zombies' [england]; 'kill zombie!' [netherlands]; and 'dance of the dead' [u.s.] actually looked like it had teens in the movie it was pretty good

i watched this when i was 8 and loved it. also was my fav t shirt I wore it so much it didnt make it to 87. Tina I know your up there cause I can smell your BRAINS

If you haven't already seen it, you should watch the documentary "More Brains!" They talk about Trash's nude scene and how they tried a prosthetic cover for her..."lady bits". They dive into all kinds of details and it's really interesting!

Great movie better reactions great way to start the morning with my coffee thank you very much

Damn classic 👊🏻

On the runoff groove to the original soundtrack release is the quote "I hit the fucking brain!"

True facts when I was a kid we lived in Hollywood and the dwarf zombie use to break dance on Hollywood Blvd for money

This guy reacting looks like Hubbs from The Stoned Age ! Young version. It's a metal heads movie classic !

that was a nuke at the end not napalm. the rain wasn't a concern becasue after teh nuke all teh dead folks were basically turned to ash by said nuke. . as for ernie he was some where in the age of 56-70 years old , they never never specified his age but he was a good bit older than Burt (at least 5-10 years older). this was 1984 so WWII was only 40-45 years prior. Germany fell in 1944 , so subtract 40 from say 56 and that gives you 16, a common age of soliders in WWII considering many would lie aboutt ehri age to join the military (same as in the US). Ernie was likely older than 56 though. so yeah ernie was definitely old enough to have been around in WWII he was likely either a boy or a young man between the ages of 10-18 . if he was ten it's likely he was in the hitler youth group and that is how he aquired a luger. but far more liekly he was between teh age of 16-18 and was an actual solider in the german army. Note this does not atomatically mean "Nazi". not all german soliders were members of the nazi party itself. another fun fact many many people miss. none of the "just" bit people actually came back to life (or undeath) . only the ones that got a good dousing in the chemical (such as trash who died while in the rain) came back. neither suicide nor scuz were reanimated just from a bite. making this movie also the first movies where the (zombie) bites don't necesarily reanimate you. though i've had some people argue against that using the sequels , but those are flimsy arguments since they are sequels and NOT the original done by Dan O' Bannon. and there was no lawsuit . just an agreement by romero and russo.

I love Lil Mrs Exposition Zombie knew exactly why they crave BRAAAaaaAAaainsss... sure they feel pain, but how would the first zombies know brain food relieves that?

After some bad real estate transactions involving some unmoved graves, Frank lost his job & ended up in the medical supply warehouse.

I wish Dan O Bannon did the sequels

: Watches smoke propogate: "How are you supposed to beat it?" Well, there's a catch see....

You forgot Bub from Day of the dead 85. He was a smart zombie who was taught.

Actually the mortician would of been the right age at 65. During 1980s he was probably a concentration camp cremator.

I was 13 when I first saw this, and, Linnea Quigley made me a man!

1 of my favorite movies ever , no2 included .😊😊😊

A few months ago during my medical exam the nurse checking my vitals told me you don't have a pulse I told her that's not good I seen enough zombie movies that a know you need to run

correction actress playing Trash IS wearing a piece over her lady bits. They had her shave and did the dance sequence then thought it was too revealing so they made her like a ken doll flap. An the chick in blue dress was stripper or porn star who couldnt understand why she wasnt asked to be vaked

Love this movie and you guys reactions to them

Skeleton farm suggests raising people strictly so you can make sure they have perfect teeth before you kill them for their skeletons. Graveyard skeletons would not have perfect teeth.

Yo creo que Burt, Spider y los demás se salvaron porque estaban en el sótano (I think Burt, Spider and the others were saved because they were in the basement.)

Ignoring the sequels that were made, there *was* a dang-tootin funny sequel written. It eventually got made as CHUD 2. It's obviously the comedy sequel this needed and it's painfully charming! (No need to see CHUD 1 - which is cute but CHUD 2 _is_ the proper sequel to this!)

One of the best movies that i saw in theaters. I laughed and and shat my pants on the same day. I was 14

You should react to 1978 Fairy Tales which also has Linnea Quigley in it.

Buffy music to close out is a nice touch
