“The Return of the Living Dead” is one of the best comedy/horror movies you will ever watch.
“Eat . . . me . . alive . . .”

Oh him....RIP....
Rabid weasels?
He was in everything in the 70’s, 80’s.
I think he was in the Star Chamber with Michael Douglas.
I definitely remember that face but dumb on the name.
When I watch old TV and movies, I like to run through IMDB for the not so known names and faces that appear.
That was my first thought too, I know that guy!
Definitely not by name, but face yes.
You know my name, look up the number!
"You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)" is a song by the Beatles originally released as the B-side of the single "Let It Be" on 6 March 1970. Although first issued with their final single (penultimate single in the United States), it was recorded in four separate sessions beginning with three in May and June 1967, and one in 1969.
"Well, dead people usually aren't conscious and moving around..."
I have seen him around town but didn’t make the connection. I figured he looked familiar because he was a local.
It was a spontaneously generated response due to a mental flashback . . . dat’sall!
He looks like Cheech Marin.
"This isn't a costume, it's a way of life!"
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho! God Bless Texas!
I thought maybe it was a line from something he had been in. All I found was the hit to the Beatles song. 8>)
Most people have never even heard this song I suspect. The Beatles did this song but it appeared only on the B side of the 45 Let It Be, and on the Beatles Past Masters vol. 2.
This is being performed by the Beatels, which was a tribute band since I can't find anything other than a poorly recorded demo on YouTube. I think after listening to it, if you so chose to do so, will understand why it never got any play!!!!
It was intended to be on the White Album. John got the idea from seeing a copy of the 1967 London phone book slogan which read, “You know the name, look up the number” (All The Songs).
Oh okay, thanks. Good thing they left it off, LOL.
