  • Horror's Hallowed Grounds: Episode 16 - The Return of the Living Dead (1985). In Episode 16 of Horror's Hallowed Grounds we visit the filming locations of Return of the Living Dead. There are not very many locations used in this film and many were sets and no longer exist. So it's a short episode but still pretty fun.I personally think this is one of the weaker episodes.

    Well it’s kinda funny that you asked if there were any punks in Kentucky. Newport Kentucky had a famous venue called The Jockey Club with a thriving punk scene.

    • @bigcrackrock
      @bigcrackrock 4 роки тому +5

      I grew up a few blocks down from there, although I was too young to remember that building as anything other than a Yellowcab, and they sadly got rid of all of the legendary 80's punk bands graffiti in the back of the building. If you fancy yourself punx as fuck you should know Richard Hell was playing punk at the very start and therefore was probably proto-punk as well. He moved from Lexington to NYC in the mid 70's and helped shape the early scene. He also originated the look that influenced douche bags like Sid Vicious and spread everywhere. So sorry Californy but KY was more influential.

    There’s a photo I love where Jason Robards crashed the set of ROTLD during filming since he was best friends with James Karen. The cast took a group photo with him, it’s awesome. Definitely in my top five favorite films ever made. Day of the Dead is on it also. I watched both of them until the vhs disintegrated.

    I was three or four years old when this movie came out and it would have been about a year or so later my mom and her boyfriend rented it on the old school vhs. I snuck out of my room and hid behind the couch and watched quietly...then apparently I gasped and ket out a scream at my first sight of Tarman. I honestly don't remember any of this but my love for zombies and punk rock was born. And if my nightmares almost 40 years later are any indication the story from mom is true LMFAO
    This movie remains one of my favourite all-time movies.

    The trioxin theme is just so awesome with the crazy bells and synth sounds and that absolutely rockin distorted guitar it's one of my favorite themes from a movie.
    Nice video man I like the inclusion of some bloopers especially the gibberish from messing your words up I do that all the time because I talk so fast sometimes I had this Indian girl tell me she hardly understands half of what I say she just nods and says okay like 😂 she fooled me because her responses were always as if she did understand but only half the time when I wasn't being a motor mouth putting the pedal to the metal.
