The Return of the Living Dead (1985)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
On July 3rd, Frank, the foreman of a medical supply warehouse, recounts to Freddy that the story that inspired the movie “Night of the Living Dead” actually happened. When a chemical known as 2-4-5 Trioxin was discharged into a morgue, the bodies began writhing ferociously, seemingly coming to life. The military was eventually called in to handle the crisis as it was developing, but word of the sick bodies quickly spread. The authorities agreed to let the movie be made as long as it was labeled as a fictional work.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Frank informs Freddy that a few Trioxin containers were accidentally sent to their warehouse and have been sitting there for a while. When Freddy goes with Frank to the basement to get his doubts cleared, he sees the mummified remains inside containers. In an attempt to allay Freddy\u2019s fears about the durability of the containers, Frank slaps the containers and accidentally unleashes the toxic gas. The gas melts one of the corpses and reanimates another. Soon, Freddy and Frank are joined by their boss, Burt.<\/p>\n
To their horror, they discover that each body part of the reanimated corpses or zombies can survive independently. Burt concludes that it would be best to get the zombie incinerated. So, he takes help from his friend Ernie, but the incineration had other terrible side effects. The gases that were released contaminated the air, and when it rained, the water became toxic, only to reanimate the corpses in a nearby cemetery.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Freddy\u2019s friends and his girlfriend Tina wait at the cemetery to meet him after he finishes his day at work. As is the norm with films like this one, Trash starts stripping on a gravestone while Tina goes to get Freddy. At the warehouse, she wandered around the basement, but instead of Freddy she encountered a disfigured and reanimated corpse from the barrel that was earlier presumed to have dissolved.<\/p>\n
The rest of them arrive just in time to save her from the monster, but Suicide is killed in the process. Another friend, Casey, recollects seeing Freddy entering the mortuary, and they all make their way towards Freddy through the cemetery. However, they get attacked by the zombies who were emerging from their graves. While Trash gets killed, Casey and Chuck rush back to the warehouse, and Scuz, Spider, and Tina reach the mortuary.<\/p>\n
At the mortuary, they discover that Freddy and Frank had grown severely ill because of their exposure to the toxic gas. To make things worse, medical tests indicated that they were already dead. After learning that corpses were re-emerging from their graves, Ernie and Burt close the mortuary gates.<\/p>\n
By now, things have gotten worse, and the zombies have started to devour people, including cops and paramedics who had arrived at the scene. Also, Scuz gets killed while protecting the barricaded mortuary. When Frank and Freddy show signs of conversion into zombies, the group locks them up in a chapel along with Tina, who refused to part with Freddy. But Freddy had lost his mind and attempted to devour Tina.<\/p>\n
Luckily, Burt, Spider, and Ernie rescue her, and in the chaos, Frank managed to escape and immolate himself because he still had some control over his mind. Burt and Spider flee the spot in a police car, leaving Tina and Ernie behind. They go to the mortuary\u2019s attic in search of safety, but a blinded and zombified Freddy tries to break in.<\/p>\n
Burt and Spider then reach the warehouse and find Casey and Chuck. They incapacitate the zombie from the basement, who Spider names Tarman. Burt then calls Colonel Glover, who orders a nuke strike on the town to cleanse it and stop the infection from spreading further. But the strike also killed many survivors. In the aftermath, we see that more resurrected corpses are screaming from inside their graves, effectively meaning that another wave is about to hit the town.<\/p>\n
