If you like dark synth and densely atmospheric modern horror, I give my highest possible recommendation to Come True (2020). I regularly spin the soundtrack/score for background music. Pilotpriest, the composer, is a moniker used by the film’s writer-director. Here’s a taste.

If what you’re posting includes the word “garlic,” odds are excellent that I’m all in on what you’re saying.

The Return of the Living Dead (1985) is where Linnea Quigley kicked in the crypt doors and announced her reign as B-movie queen of the next decade. Sure, the tombstone dance. But that’s just one piece of the puzzle. Her delivery of Trash’s highly quotable dialogue is memorable and steals the show. 🖤
The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
When two bumbling employees at a medical supply warehouse accidentally release a deadly gas into the air, the vapors cause the dead to rise again as zombies.
