THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD

“Send more paramedics!”

Pat’s Horror Film Club returns with the ultimate punk rock zombie comedy that changed everything you thought you knew about the undead.

When a couple of bumbling medical supply warehouse workers accidentally release a toxic gas that brings the dead back to life, Louisville becomes ground zero for the most fun you’ll ever have during a zombie apocalypse. But these aren’t your typical shambling corpses – these zombies are fast, smart, and have developed a very specific craving for brains.

What makes THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD extraordinary isn’t just its perfect blend of genuine scares and laugh-out-loud comedy, but how writer-director Dan O’Bannon created something completely fresh. This is zombie cinema with a punk attitude, featuring an incredible soundtrack, quotable dialogue, and practical effects that still impress today.

From Linnea Quigley’s iconic graveyard dance to “Tarman’s” unforgettable debut, every moment crackles with anarchic energy. It’s horror that doesn’t take itself too seriously while still delivering genuine thrills – the perfect antidote to po-faced zombie films.

Join us for a night of undead mayhem that proves sometimes the best horror films are the ones that make you laugh as much as they make you scream.

Book now – the dead are restless…
