Would I watch it again? Oh, hell yes!





Holy crap! I haven't seen this since high school around the time of its initial release. I remembered very little until I started watching it and then it all came gushing back to me. This is a friggin' laugh-riot! The effects are great. Standout moments? Trash (Linnea Quigley)dancing naked, un-dead half-dog, Trash still dancing naked, un-dead guy from the opened canister, Trash being attacked by zombies naked (but will she come back?), Burt, Ernie & Frank's dialogue throughout the entire film, OH, YEAH...Trash coming back as a naked zombie. It was also really cool seeing older guys as heroes (40s/50s). Usually it's the stupid kids that can't act. Great script, story, gore, effects, acting, photography, the works. Fun! Fun! Fun! Easily one of the best horror-comedies to come down the Pike.
