7. Return of the Living Living Dead (1985)

Let's start off simple with some nice appetizers. Dan O'Bannon's Return Of the Living Dead is known for starting the zombies eating brains craze. I mean... why wouldn't they if they're already eating every other part of the body. This movie highlighted the specifics of Brain Eating though. These zombies who also talk, give reason to this as the brains are basically a painkiller and the rotting corpses cease to suffer as long as they have their dose of brains each time they're itching for a fix.



Also, the brains in the movie were real calf brains the filmmakers bought. Director Dan O' Bannon ate some himself to ensure the extras they wouldn't be doing anything he wouldn't do himself. Fair guy he was.
