Return of the Living Dead (1985)

A deadly gas is released into the air by two workers at a medical supply company, causing the dead to rise and wreak havoc on the town. Meanwhile, a group of punk teenagers are stuck in the middle and must fight for their lives. This hilariously fun low-budget movie is set in Kentucky but filmed in Los Angeles.

The "Uneeda Medical Supply" building is located at 698 Moulton Avenue in Los Angeles.

Interior shots of the lab & mortuary were sets built in a warehouse at 801 South Main Street in Burbank.

Colonel Glover (Jonathan Terry) lives at 2001 Paseo del Mar in Palos Verdes, CA.

The carload of punks drives south down North Myers Street away from the Highway 101 bridge over the L.A. River.
