The soundtrack to Dan O'Bannon's 1985 horror-comedy The Return Of The Living Dead gathers ten tracks of campy, punk-fueled rock that match the film's gleeful mix of gore and humor. It's a compilation of various artists, and it captures the spirit of mid-'80s underground rock and the movie's cult following.
The Cramps open with the rockabilly boogie "Surfin' Dead," a highlight that sets the tone with swagger and a wink. Roky Erickson adds the ghoulishly funny "Burn the Flames," a jangly dirge with gothic keyboards and sound effects. It may not be essential, but it's a lively, entertaining listen for fans of horror punk and cult cinema.
