Summary: Curious kids unearth the barrels that previously helped revive the dead, which proves the second time’s an undead charm.
Out of: 5.7/10
Release Date: 1/8/88 (premiere)… 1/15/88
Taglines:
- Just when you thought it was safe to be dead.
- If “A Nightmare On Elm Street” made you scream and “Creepshow” split your sides, then… “Return Of The Living Dead Part II” will scare your brain out!
- They’re Back, And They’re Not Happy!
- Got an appetite for horror? This is your dish.
Trivia:
- Thom Mathews disliked the sequel
- The Michael Jackson zombie was improvised on the spot.
- Although they play different characters, Thom Mathews and James Karen nearly duplicate their roles from The Return of the Living Dead [1985] as a pair who are sickened by zombie gas. In both films, they have the exchange, “Listen kid, if you like this job…” “Like this job? Like this job?”, and in one moment that gets close to breaking the fourth wall, Mathew’s character Joey even says “I feel like we’ve been here before. You… Me… Them!”
