Do you want to party?



Saturday Graverites is a walking dead double feature. These are two of my favorite movies of all time but also tomorrow is the 6 year mark for Brownlog and I and these are the first two movies we watched together. So I decided these were the best choice for Saturday Graverites, yes it's cheesy but hey that is how we figured things would be awesome because of out love for horror. Grab your popcorn and soda, enjoy!


The Return Of The Living Dead (1985) : Middle-aged family man Frank (Jim Karen) trains teenaged Freddy (Thom Matthews) for his new job at a Uneeda medical supply warehouse. In an effort to impress and frighten him, Frank reveals that the warehouse basement contains a cannister full of a mysterious chemical capable of bringing the dead back to life. It seems that the cannister fell off the back of an army truck during an accidental outbreak of zombiedom. Frank and Freddy unwittingly inhale the chemical and release it into the warehouse. Turning to the operator of a nearby crematorium for help in destroying the suddenly undead specimens that surround them, the smoke laced with the toxic chemical mixes with storm clouds that rain down on the city at night and resurrecting the bodies buried inside the town's cemetary just as Freddy's pals arrive there to party amidst the headstones and wait for their friend's shift to end. Meanwhile, Col. Glover waits for the call on the location of his missing chemical weapon.




Re-animator (1985) : In this H.P. Lovecraft tale, Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) is a Swiss scientist who has discovered a fluid which brings dead tissue back to life. After the suspicious death of his professor in Switzerland, West moves to Miskatonic University to continue his research. He involves fellow student Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) and his fiancĂ©e Megan Halsey (Barbara Crampton) in his research by experimenting on their dead cat. Dan, fascinated by West's research, agrees to smuggle him into the hospital morgue with predictable results.
