The Video Dead (1987) - After fifty thousand years of seeing this around, I finally watched it. I think I might have thought it was a compilation of horror clips or something? As far as 80's horror comedies go, I'm more of a "Flesh Eating Mothers", "Little Corey Gorey" cheap/ over the top kind of guy, but I did enjoy this. The main character kid was funny in an off the cuff sort of way and there were some inspired and crazy moments, even if it was a ultimately just a little on the PG 13/ normal-coded side.

Someone delivers an evil TV to a random suburban home and soon zombies are all over the place. There's a cute rich girl love interest and secret zombie knowledge having hillbilly guy who all work together and don't contact any authorities or anything to try and stop the siege. One part I liked was when they cut one of the zombies in half and there are not only guts but mice and stuff in there.

I'll go 4.25/ 5 and would see it again, if not base a cult around it.
