Return of the Living Dead Archives

For the horror and comedy fans in Pittsburgh – The Oaks Theater will be showing Return of the Living Dead on Friday, July 31, 2009 @ 10pm and Saturday, August 1, 2009 @ Midnight.

What if Night of the Living Dead actually happened? And the government DID try to cover up a zombie outbreak, and then allow a movie studio to make a film about it? AND, what if during the clean-up of said film some of the zombies were taken to the wrong place and accidentally unleashed on an unsuspecting town? Well, then you’d have Return of the Living Dead, a hilarious punk rock comedy zomblie flick, featuring a legendary soundtrack with music by The Cramps, 45 Grave, Roky Erickson, T.S.O.L. and The Damned. The film tells the story of how a group of teenage punks deal with a horde of brain-hungry zombies.

Image via WikipediaOne of my favorite fun facts about living in Pittsburgh is that homewood cemetery is the location that Night of the Living Dead was filled. Well, after learning about this event – I realized that I have been misinformed. Regardless, Pittsburgh is still the birth place of this horror film and it is something to be celebrated, even if the scenes were filmed in Evans City. So head on up to Evans City to celebrate the 40th Anniversary Celebration of the film Night of the Living Dead with some of the original cast members too.
