"YOU MEAN THE MOVIE LIED?!" - lol love that line

I like to think that Jay would have been a doctor or engineer or something if he hadn’t poisoned his brain with this movie as a child

Went to see Fright Night (the original) in the theater, and when it was over, the manager came out and said if we wanted to stick around, we could see a new horror movie that was coming out in a couple of weeks. It's still one of the best movie-going experiences I've ever had.

I work in a medical supply warehouse so this movie holds a special place in my heart. Zombie tanks come in and out all the time.

The Gozer / Trash thing I totally can see and understand.

"Return of the Living Dead" is just what happens any time Rich Evans comes back on screen

"send more cops" if they wanted brains why'd they ask for cops? -some guy next to me in the theater who will forever live on in my memory

I'm learning more about Jay's childhood. No wonder he is the way he is. Jumpin' Jack Flash with Whoopi Goldberg will do that to you.

Enjoyable commentary. "Tarman" was played by Allan Truatman who is a professional puppeteer, currently performing a live performance show created by Brian Henson called "Puppet Up!" Uncensored. Dan hired Allan because of Allan's understanding of "fluidity" in creating muppet movements when he worked for Jim Henson. In regards to myself and getting hired: Yes. Dan found me working at a private strip joint in Santa Monica called "The Ball". Dan was having little success in finding an actress willing to take off her clothes and stay naked for almost the entire movie. He first offered the part to a gal  who was roughly 6ft and went by the stage name of "Leggs". There is a draft of the script where Dan names the "Trash" character "Leggs". However, the real "Leggs" lived in a van with her middle-aged boyfriend selling pot and turned the part down. The next gal offered the part was a girl named "DeeDee" and was all set except at the last moment she found out she was pregnant and there is a scripted version of her characters name "Deedee" too. Ha. Dan then turned to me and asked if I would like to be the "Naked Girl" but I had already been topless and or naked in so many a low-budget or men's magazine that being "Naked" in the rain and eaten by zombies wasn't that appealing do to my then current day gig involved posing with a large snake, naked. I was tired of being naked and begged Dan for one of the other roles where a character was clothed and was lucky enough to get the part of "Casey" named after my nickname as a kid growing up.

The Linnea Quigley 'Horror Workout' tape is featured in it's entirety as an extra on the 'Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers' blu ray released by 88 films.

"And then as a teenager, I watched it for an entirely different reason."
"What reason is that?"
Its not a bad question, Burt.

Jay's completely obscure film knowledge is my favorite part of his appearance on these shows.

I broke my VHS copy as a teen constantly pausing and rewinding to watch Trash's strip dance.

Seeing Frank cremate himself alive was one of the saddest images that I've ever seen in cinema history.

It's good to see that Linnea Quigley's career progressed from dancing naked while getting drenched in beer in 'Psycho from Texas' back in 1975, to dancing naked then getting drenched in mud while being devoured by zombies in 'Return of the Living Dead' in 1985.

Seeing Quigley naked more than anyone you actually know is probably not that uncommon a situation.

Wow this movie stars Linnea Quigley from the hit film Bigfoot vs. D.B. Cooper?

Dan O'Bannon's masterpiece.  RotLD is one of my favorite horror comedies that has ever been made.  I'd say it's as close to perfection as a film can come.

It's so cool you guys got Orson Welles to come back from the dead to talk about his favorite movie post-mortem.
