So you guys think this can all be traced back to Return of the Living Dead?

That'd be pretty cool. I didn't know this movie (which I love dearly) had been famous enough to influence pop culture on such a level.

But now that I think of it, it must have had a pretty good built-in fanbase, what with the DVD flying off the shelves like it did when it was released a few years ago...

But all this talk of ''brain-eating zombies'' still gets on my nerves, even if it was caused by a great flick
