31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 22: RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD 2 1988 (SHOUT FACTORY) BLU-RAY

This is an ok sequel to the original, but it comes nowhere near it's classic status.

James Karen and Thom Matthews return in this follow-up film, but as different chsracters in name and job only. They play two grave robbers who get infected when gas from a broken cannister is released and begins, again, reviving the dead.

I have to admit the only reason I checked this movie out was because of Suzanne Snyder. I will watch anything she is in.

There is plenty of zombie action and some gore, but the comedy really takes over and it's a huge subtext to the film itself. There is a scene in the movie where the character played by Matthews even says to Karen "I feel like this is a dream, and we've both done this before".

If you're a horror fan I assume you've already seen this zombie epic, but if you haven't I recommend you do. Just keep in mind it's not up to the original.

The rest of the cast includes Michael Kenworthy, Thor Van Lingen, Jason Hogan, Marsha Dietlein, and Mitch Pileggi.
