This week we welcome Vero to the the team by checking out her comfort horror film: The Return of the Living Dead (1985). We unpack the movie’s origins, delineate the Dead vs Living Dead series, and assess the quality of its effects. ****In this episode's b-side, we share our feelings on cemeteries, Vero shares her phased zombie apocalypse plan, and Kris coins a new sub-genre term.
**This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 30:57.**
