Return of the Living Dead Boys – Halloween Night 1986

The reunion concert that brought New York to its knees in 1986 – the original Dead Boys, Stiv Bators, Cheetah Chrome, Jimmy Zero, Jeff Magnum and Johnny Blitz on stage at the Ritz! The band got together for one more show in their old stomping ground, starting with an introduction from long-time supporter, Joey Ramone, to the power riff of “Sonic Reducer” (played twice!) to an unreal cover of The Stooges’ “Search & Destroy!”

Directed by —, Return of the Living Dead Boys – Halloween Night 1986 leans on a strong ensemble — Stiv Bators, Cheetah Chrome, Jimmy Zero — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 2008.
