Join us at the Rio Theatre for a Friday Late Night screening of 80s horror comedy classic THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, a (totally true!) story of two bumbling employees at a medical supply warehouse who accidentally release a deadly gas into the air – when the vapors cause the dead to rise again as zombies, **it gets real.

“Essential, enormous fun.” (Empire Magazine)

“A tongue-in-cheek, splatter-laden homage to George A. Romero’s zombie pictures.” (Slant Magazine)

“Any film which features a dead, bald and very hungry punk lurching towards the camera screaming ‘More Brains!’ gets my vote.” (Time Out)
