The Return of The Living Dead (Alternate Opening)

[@mr.sand7899]

This song makes the movie come off like it's going to be a dark movie instead of the horror comedy it is.

[@jm-sh6qr]

I think the creepiness contrasted by the fact that it is walk like an Egyptian by the chipmunks is enough to communicate that

[@coopdville855]

I really like the opening credits theme in the actual theatrically released film anyway. Always have.

[@manueldilone8424]

But I think this movie is still frightening, it is the best because it balances that thin line of scary and funny...

[@JohnnyMnemonic.]

The song sucks ass. Sorry

[@IvanBotero-iy6by]

It is creepy tho

[@Ballistic180]

He is the only person I've ever seen in existence use the entire paper towel roll to clean something off...

[@unclecreed2986]

Why use the whole roll of paper towels?

[@legatomodi3522]

Victor Creed hes an actor, not a janitor. My best theory is paper wasnt as big a deal in this country price wise before the recycling renaissance of the 90s.

[@d.blackwell6417]

AMERICA! That's why

[@ChrissyMissy87]

Victor Creed That always irritated the shit out of me .

[@69crafty]

Maybe he didn't want to get any crap on him off the barrel and besides its still usable

[@jasonlucas257]

thats not a bad question Burt!

[@nickshannon2183]

I like the original theme better but this one made it creepy as well one of my all time favorite zombie movies lets hope it stays a movie and not reality

[@albatrossbaron4107]

Typical army screw ups DO happen unfourtunately

[@anthonypreciado1517]

😷

[@dallasmay4031]

actually what Frank was talking about the Movie night of the Living Dead was indeed Based on a True story Except it was changed a chemical was spilled on corpses in a morgue and yes the chemical made them move and jump around like they were having seizures but that's all that happened they never came to life and tried to eat people that part was made up in the movie

[@nicksuazo4377]

I knoooooow. The song made it sound like its all fun times and comedy. But it made me feel uneasy and anxious, giving me a false sense of security. If this was the original opening, I would for real be waking up in a cold sweat. Jesus!

[@workingcityprepper2460]

@AlbertaStrength book of revelation is probably where they got the idea.

[@ramairgto72]

This movie, it should have gotten more acclaim.

[@stefanfernandez89]

ramairgto72 amen!

[@edunoeduno4980]

Your comment, nobody writes or talks like that.

[@BradyGalloway]

Eduno Eduno Ya know, I hear people talk like that all the time.

[@sagebulls818]

You're right but it has a pretty big cult following. I think being a cult classic is much better than winning awards or being praised by mainstream media.

[@captiankirkgames4385]

It did

[@jasper4655]

I've watched this movie when I was 8 and I still remember every details of this

[@jesshadfield3566]

That corpse in the container still gives me the creeps

[@stillstonedd]

I appreciate it.. but the og is still the best choice.. with that said.. I love this version of this song. Dark waves

[@mariandrummer]

I used to be terrified with this opening scene when I was a child, but I loved it anyways.

[@gregnicholas26]

I love how the corpse in the body bag starts to move right as the drums kick in! brilliant!

[@MrZombiejoe]

All The Corpses In The Body Gags Say, WAY OH, WAY OOOOOOooohhh WAY OH, WAY OOOOOHH!!!!!... Walk Like An Egyptian!!!

[@tituspullo3184]

Same here

[@M2Mil7er]

Me: looking for the body bag at 20-25 seconds when the drums kick in

[@slothstare9554]

This fits it so well.

[@BradyGalloway]

This was genuinely creepy compared to the original. The scene shows us the result of the Trioxin leak, while the music plays over. The music which has almost happy vocal feel contains a darker, lower music track. Here, the deep bell tolls, representing the end coming near.

[@skullthrower8904]

Woah I just noticed the bells holy shit You described it perfectly

[@joshcrandall2944]

This movie scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. But I love it. I watch at least 4 times a week of not more and I never get tired of it

[@johndetheshape3095]

0:24 that hit diffrent…

[@cynthiaking5790]

This feels like a horror Rick Roll

[@LukeDodge916]

I really like this. Not as much as the one we got, because its simply etched into my consciousness now. But the beats synced with the corpse on a hook was just 👌

[@merchbros8729]

The fool that used the whole roll of paper towels, deserved what was coming for him

[@nebraskaninkansas347]

Very good alternate. I actually found this one more creepy. Slowed the song track down to blend so perfectly with the action in the movie. As well as the slowed track also adds an edge of creepiness.

[@mrmusickhimself]

Insane that this works as well as it does. Genius idea you had here.

[@HorribleHomeVideo]

the idea comes from an old forum where they claimed it had walk like an Egyptian (not chipmunks version) slowed down originally (it did not however)

[@afa78djd]

The Bangles would be impressed I'm sure.

[@JerryOrbachFan]

I wonder if he got that roll of paper towels on sale at Pathmark. 🤣

[@buckspearman3013]

Walk Like an Egyptian didnt come out till 1986. Almost had me for a second.

[@maria.whiddon]

Never knew anyone did a cover of The Bangles "Walk like an Egyptian".

[@joshybratwurst1398]

Not just anyone. This is, in fact, a slowed down rendition of the cover from Alvin and the Chipmunks

[@billbixby8698]

Great cover of this song, very creepy indeed. I actually like this opening quite a bit but I still prefer the oringal overall. What a great movie, the comedic timing and delivery were on point through the film. Definitely a certified 80s cult classic!

[@giogildematos4266]

This is high octane art

[@chairmannom9507]

Definitely a lot creepier!! This is a wonderful edit!!

[@BradyGalloway]

Why is there so much hate? Yes, it's fan made, so what. Patrick, you did a great job on the song choice, very creepy and interesting. Chipmunks on 16 Speed is quite the experience.

[@namehere7829]

THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORED MOVIE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN I SEEN THIS AT THE MOVIES MY AUNT WORKED AT THE VERY TIME IT CAME OUT IN 85 I USED TO ASK FOR A COPY OF IT EVERY YEAR FOR MY BIRTHDAY AND Christmas I CANT BELIEVE IT GOT SOO POPULAR AS IT IS NOW

[@bpmshortfilms]

holly shit this song just blew my mind, its just the chipmunks in supper slow mo. cant believe it.

[@poopsyko]

bpm shortfilms I like it actually :)

[@gh00al]

Wow. The one they used is kind of iconic but even so this is so much better. Pretty awesome.

[@nigelcarren]

Great cover of a great song. Reeeeealllly suits the intro. BRAVO 🏆

[@ftrtrjn]

My favorite part of showing people this song is telling them exactly who made it

[@MrHorror1971]

they're coming to get you Patrick.

[@phagtasticc792]

WM OKEEFE-THOMPSON obviously but the dude who made this video is named Patrick

[@Donaldmcsmith]

Whean That girl sprays perfume In you’re class:

[@H3llstrike]

That was awesome the beat at the end fits perfect the zombie flailing around.

[@nessaj4522]

I have been watching this every year since it came out as a 4th of July Tradition... I am soooo glad they didn't use this alternative!!! Just the music made it extra scary just the way it did... With all of the sounds of each scene while the music played. I didn't want to even go through this cause it didn't match the mood of it. On that note I appreciate this scene... Because their previews here from back in the day they didn't post the original beginning and it's the part that makes me feel creepy ... Cause the Thriller is none stop after that.. 2022

[@buttholebzerker]

This fucking rocked. Plain and simple.

[@maximilianschmid9890]

"II vissch thej'd innchluud thiss on tha dissqs."

[@jojolopez9158]

I thought this would be just another shit post but this actually sounds really good and strangely fits the scene pretty well

[@dethfilmsinc5047]

I know this band! This is a band called chipmunks on 16 speed. They do doom covers of pop songs. You should go check them out on KZbin.

[@mark_beastpriest5539]

One of the greatest horror/comedy hybrid movies ever made.

[@Dukefazon]

Now I know where idea of the Regenerator room came from in Resident Evil 4.

[@BlackAdder1970]

Never knew there was an alternative opening

[@teiganteiggystkinsterry1141]

Ive always watched this film while I was spending my time with mum once so I usually do spend time with her

[@aaronmp8]

You've managed to increase the menace of both this movie and song by 9,800. Kudos.

[@therealchristfollower]

Great engineering by the Army Corps of Engineers.

[@wiseauserious8750]

This is absolutely brilliant

[@interwebbs1]

Great job, i love it!

[@KaosKontrol92]

Jesus Christ. Way to sync it up perfectly and make The Bangles nightmare fuel.

[@muddflappa6581]

holy crap that was AWESOME!

[@billy4892]

This needs a remake and part 2 but with better fx effects and more gore and more longer and unknown professional actors 🙏

[@MdVaDc]

Unfortunately their are 5 sequels which all suck

[@MdVaDc]

Rotld 2,3,4,5,6 and 7

[@justin764]

>Knows that the case's filled with gas and a zombie sleeping inside it. > *HITS IT HARD FROM THE SIDE*

[@jennabear1026]

Walk Like An Egyptian?...😂

[@Documenting_Life_8619]

It hurts to be alive yeah true words

[@georgetaylor996]

Awesome opening

[@DeSoccerRefMan]

Not gonna lie. It's my 3rd favorite flick.

[@smollbrainproduction2090]

Put on 1.75 speed and it's normal

[@MyCatInABox]

THIS....is.... ABSOLUTELY 10X creepier than the original intro song.

[@Eepies]

no doubt

[@i39darkblade]

@Diablo Pesina A weapon gone horribly wrong

[@vnv125]

I share this every Halloween. Nice pairing!

[@shannonsankey6656]

that song gave me the spooks.

[@ChillerKiller88]

Shannon Sankey Your profile pic gave me the spooks

[@poopsyko]

Shannon Sankey holy fuck dude!your picture is creepy as fuck

[@ShadyRedLady]

I love it so much because of that

[@shannonsankey6656]

@CORTEZ CASTILLO bang on bud

[@shannonsankey6656]

@CORTEZ CASTILLO I completely agree. Magic is very underrated.

[@bey00001]

When he asked that question he seled there doom

[@gregplaza1518]

Bey D "Hey, these things don't leak, do they?"

[@franklincourten8281]

If you change to 2x speed, it sounds like The Bangles version !

[@luthermcgee432]

Stupid to use another theme in it's introduction: the original introduction theme is what brought me here. At 0.38, I stopped.

[@pepesantomauro4336]

i like music with heavy drumming in the background

[@justacup8676]

“2-4-5 Trioxin Theme” is badass, but I somewhat prefer this.

[@deathrabbit8710]

The fact that 5 seconds into this I knew I was in for some Chipmunk.

[@dhj7541]

I'd rather this opening than the original but to give the original some credit we wouldn't have that awesome theme

[@siliomartinez03]

Tarmans bizzare adventures

[@VelhaGuardaTricolor]

The original fits the movie best. IMHO.

[@culspot9092]

Fuking awesome man I love it and it fits.

[@crhisduarte9382]

i seen the workprint this song wasnt there so how would you know this was alertnate

[@theeorehekchannel]

Anyone notices how when he first hits the canister it blows out from the bottom then starts going up like a fan blew it around and they sort of leaned into it LOL

[@DaveDurango]

absolutely love this

[@bigp3006]

Puts a different spin on it, but I prefer the released version better, sets the pace.

[@Will-ln8du]

Woah. Yeah that’s a lot more spoonky than the original

[@ArturCeltycki-oz4re]

Zombie Bub Day of dead 1985 /Bub is Tarman

[@babykwissy]

dude awesome

[@10bwonder]

i prefer when he slaps like he was saying 'this bad boy can fit so many living dead in it" ^^

[@M60gunner1971]

A very trippy version. To bad it hit the cutting room floor. Dan O'Bannon was the man.

[@Xel_games]

This is fan made. This song haddn't been released yet. This is totally fake. This is not how a movie studio would ever open a film.

[@M60gunner1971]

​@@Xel_gamesYes, I failed to note the timeline as this song wasn't released until 1987. IMO, it would have been a much better opening.

[@georgetaylor996]

The original opening was dope but this awesome

[@manueldilone8424]

The original score was dope but this is scarier.

[@only257]

❤awesome

[@cobra_is_down2894]

1.5 speed is more approached to the original tempo, but the voice is like the pope mixed with depeche mode is singing

[@georgetaylor2024]

this is awesome

[@Frumess]

BRILLIANT!!

[@lloyddobbler8246]

That song put a whole new dynamic to that movie. They could of really made that movie a little darker with a soundtrack like this.

[@JaymeSplendid]

Lloyd Dobbler? Dude, this movies soundtrack is one of BEST soundtracks ever! Tho the DVD version for whatever reason took out the Damned song "Dr. Death" All the tracks have some correlation with what's going on at that moment. Roky Erickson song"Burn the flames" as Frank the zombie decides to kill himself by climbing into the crematorium is one of my all time favorite scene in horror. The scene itself is dark, emotionally complex on many levels and beats the shit out of the viewer. Then add the song to that scene just cranks the whole experience to 11! The Cramps 'Surfing Dead' when they are fortifying the funeral home, The Tall boys 'Take a walk' when they are running from the zombies just to name a few.

[@oLuxify]

Jayme Splendid Fucking Nerd

[@phnigra111]

Jayme Splendid I agree man, the soundtrack is pretty dark as it is! Without the score, the movie falls flat on its ass

[@officialpowerofbanana]

love it, wonder how you made it sound so clear

[@cold10er]

Actually i could like either version

[@shlogman1]

I'm proud of my brother. This is hilarious!!

[@lsxpowered7178]

shlogman andersen You should be proud! but this isn't funny, it's actually badass and makes it 10x more chilling!

[@PunkMartyr]

Duuuude this is great

[@christinag.7545]

Amazing job self, watch this before bed when it’s thundering outside...😳🙄😭

[@johnnyle8018]

1,2, and 3 are classics. Better than all the zombie movies today. 4and 5 are crap.

[@albatrossbaron4107]

Only the first was good in my opinion as well as my friend Mr. Stout the creator of the TarMan

[@captiankirkgames4385]

Ageee and I haven’t seen them

[@rifleshooterchannel208]

Dude deserved it for how he used that roll of paper towels.

[@tyrantgregcagkaiju71]

This track really works! Wow 😮! 👍🏻

[@randombarbarian5637]

Awesome!.. Totally Awesome

[@vonrenard5057]

Love it

[@calessel3139]

Is this serious? They were going to use a Bangles cover originally? That's crazy!

[@Joshwolfman]

I like the regular version though

[@mariano1386]

Amaaaaazing job!!!!! rip to Don Calfa.

[@georgetaylor2024]

this is fucking awesome

[@thomasacquisto9040]

Oh shit. This opening is dope

[@damionchrist]

This is bogus. That song wasn’t even released yet. Fan made.

[@MrZombiejoe]

HAHAHA Good Fuckin Call!!! LOL

[@Raynestorm1968]

I prefer the opening they went with.
