“MORE BRAINS! A Return to the Living Dead” Trailer (2011) HD
on September 8, 2011 at 3:00 am“Return of the Living Dead” is one of my all time favorite zombie movies. I never get tired of it and I’ve seen it at least once a year for about twenty years now. Holy crap I’m old. I’m excited to see this documentary on the film though. This looks really cool.
Now this is where I go off on a tangent.
Do you ever get tired of people asking you why do zombies eat brains? It’s because of “Return of the Living Dead” dang it!!! And it’s just worked it’s way into Pop Culture ideas of zombies ever since.
I can’t take it anymore so let’s answer some questions about “Return of the Living Dead” zombies, soon you’ll see they are nothing like the zombies from “Night of the Living Dead.” I pray this ends the debate. Right now I am currently debating this with three different people. I know I have no life.
These questions apply only to “ROTLD” zombies btw.
Q: Why do zombies eat brains?
A: To stop the pain of being dead… It hurts to be dead. Apparently brains are the ultimate pain killer. This is straight from the zombie’s mouth (Literally)
Q: But if they eat brains, won’t that keep more zombies from being created.
A: In “ROTLD” zombies are created by exposure to Trioxin 245 gas, not by being bitten by a zombie. Don’t worry it’s just Trioxin gas you have to worry about being exposed too… You can still eat that tasty bean burrito I know your craving right now…. mmmm burritos.
Q: Doesn’t a headshot kill a zombie?
A: Not a “ROTLD” zombie. It doesn’t do jack. Nothing less than complete destruction of the body will stop the zombie, however, this has the tragic side effect of releasing more Trioxin in the air and causing more zombies. Your pretty much screwed.
Q: But aren’t zombies slow and stupid?
A: Nope they’re pretty spry little buggers, they run, scream, have coherent conversations, and are capable of reasoning out how to kill you no matter where your hiding… And they are impossible to kill. Yeah! We’re still screwed.
Q: Zombiecarter, is it true that you are incredibly sexy and simply the manliest of all manly men?
A: Yes
Q: Can I please have your love child?
A: Hey! Look here, Pal. I’m the one doing the stalking in this relationship. Now If you’ll excuse me I’ll be in your bushes with my high powered binoculars… naked…again.

Q#3: That’s why you use a flamethrower. ;D
This was funny.
Wont work. Yes it’ll destroy that zombie, but it releases the trioxin gas that then reanimates other dead people.
Probably best to treat them like toxic waste and cram them all into canisters and dump them in a lead lined pit.
That’s what the flames are for. It will just burn out the gas.
But Carter isnt putting them into canisters and accidentally forgetting about them in a medical supply shop just asking for trouble. It only delays the problem for some unsuspecting person accidentally opens the canister
ahh hell yes. me and my older brothers grew up on this movie as wee tots back in the 90′s. recorded it on video whenever it aired on USA or any other channel that aired it at the time. thank crom for dvds now yes? I’m looking forward to watching this.
Amen to that.
Incidentally “Thank Crom” ….excellent.
“Conan, what is best in life”
“To Crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!”
I’d love to get in on these debates you’re having. Gonna check the forum now to see if there is already a debate setup.
Always loved that movie. My fav. part was when the zombie called for more cops. lol.
Brains produce endorphins which are much more powerful of a pain killer than morphine.
True, but it’s not like your brain is made from them. Aspirin originally comes from willow bark, but gnawing on a willow tree is unlikely to cure my headache…. though admittedly I haven’t tried it. Maybe it does.
I’m going to buy a willow tree.
Okay I accept that eating brains is the ultimate pain killer for the movie’s sake. But how do these zombies instinctively know that? I still love that movie.
It’s cuz you gotta scratch the bark up it up first. At least that’s what I do before gnawing on some willow tree bark.
At least in the first Return I remember the zombies being pretty smart (for zombies). Maybe brains help them stay smart instead. Maybe they just want brain food in an attempt to figure out a way to cure them selves. Or maybe they’re just freaks who always had an insatiable curiosity of consuming brains before dying to the point where it became their driving force in unlife.
LOL I love the idea that all the zombies don’t want brains it’s JUST the zombies from that cemetery. Zombies from other places just want coffee and an aspirin.
scratch the bark up a bit first*
