Return of the Living Dead Part II

1988 · 89 min

A goofy, gory romp with kids, bumbling adults and rubbery zombies; silly rather than scary, best enjoyed as a late-night laugh.

Tagline
Just when you thought it was safe to be dead.
Overview
A group of kids discover one of the drums containing a rotting corpse and release the 2-4-5 Trioxin gas into the air, causing the dead to once again rise from the grave and seek out brains.
