Description
A killer party you won't forget! "Night of the Living Dead" meets "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" (with a stop-over for "Rock 'n' Roll High School") in this spoof of teenage monster movies, delinquency dramas, sports movies, and a brace of other film genres. When a group of high school underachievers get some bad weed from a dealer named Mussolini (Steve McCoy), the dealer dies and gets dumped in a river contaminated by nuclear waste. Quicker than you can say Three Mile Island, Mussolini is back, green-skinned and super-strong, killing the kids who did him in, ripping them apart one by one. "I Was a Teenage Zombie" is a genre-twister of a movie--one part teen exploitation flick, one part monster movie, and one part lunkhead comedy--the midnight movie to end them all!

DESERVES AN 18TH ANNIVERSARY DVD SPECIAL EDITITON.......2006-03-25

THE YEAR IS 2006 AND IT'S TURNING 18-OLD-YEARS THIS YEAR SINCE IT WAS MADE IN 1987 AND IT DESERVES TO BE RE-RELEASED ON DVD WITH TONS OF SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDING COMMENTARIES(ESP.A DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY SINCE HE QUIT DIRECTING AND BECAME A MONK AFTERWARDS),DELETED SCENES,INTERVIEWS WITH MAINLY EVERY SINGLE ACTOR THAT APPEARED IN THE MOVIE,TRAILERS,MAKING OF FEATURETTE,AND TONS OF OTHER GREAT STUFF. THE MOVIE IS AN ABSOLUTELY CLASSIC INDIE FLICK THAT WAS VERY FUNNY AND MADE THE WAY IT WANTED IT TO BE MADE,EVEN IF THE BUDGET WAS LOW AND THE ACTING STUNK. PLEASE CRITERION,ANCHOR BAY,OR SYNAPSE RELEASE A GOOD DVD OF THIS CLASSIC MOVIE. ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITES AND I WATCHED AND RECORDED IT EVERYTIME IT WAS ON IFC AND RENTED IT AT SOME VIDEO STORE.

PS:
DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THE BUDGET WAS FOR THIS MOVIE AND WHERE IT WAS FILMED,I THINK IT WAS FILMED IN SAN FRANCISCO OR HOUSTON.

PSSSSS:
IS THERE A WAY WE CAN RE-RELEASE THE OLD CD OR CASSETTE OF THE SONGS IN THE MOVIE. I LOVED THE SONGS IN THIS FILM AND IT WOULD BE COOL TO HEAR THEM AGAIN. MY FAVORITE SONG WAS THE ONE SUNG BY THE FLESHTONES THAT WENT "I WAS A TEENAGE ZOMBIE".

FUNNY AS HELL!.......2006-03-13

This movie looks like it was filmed with a camcorder! I didn't realize, when I purchased this DVD, that it was going to be a total amateurish delight! I mean the editing is even horrible, the sound doesn't match up! The acting is atrocious! The storyline is pathetic! I LOVE IT! There's a scene where the Hispanic, zombie, drug-dealer rapes a hapless teenage girl to death! He breaks her body in half and all she says is "You can't do thaaaaaaaaaat!" In another hilarious scene a cop, who is hot on the trial of the zombie drug peddler, gets punched in the forehead and sort of has a 2 second delayed reaction to the pain. Then he falls backward and screams like a dying duck! Oh, I'm telling you buy this movie! If you love watching horrible actors not totally devoted to their parts, this one is for you!

HALARIOUS! ONE OF MY NEW HORROR FAVES!!!.......2005-07-13

I was a teenage zombie...when i purchased this movie i didn't know what to expect...I was EXTREMELY IMPRESSED, the movie is funny and it has mild gore (due to image entertainment's editing crew). I would highly recommend buying this movie if you have some extra cash, if u like movies like Evil Dead 2, Bad Taste, or Evil Ed this is definatly one to put in your collection. Anyways to let you know all horror films i've bought that image entertainment has released has cut out a lot of the gore scenes. I probably would next expect to see this movie re-released by a different company due to lack of popularity and peoples lack of humor.

Funny spoof of zombie movies ruined by poor video quality.......2005-01-18

I Was a Teenage Zombie is a really funny spoof of those 1950s monster films and zombie films. A drug dealer is accidentally killed by teens and then the teens throw him in the river where a nuclear liquid brings him back as a zombie and then he starts revenge. The video release is poor because the movie skips a lot even if you clean the VCR. Please release this one on a new DVD with special features(Commentaries,deleted scenes) because the VHS/DVD versions are horrendous. This one deserves a Special Edition DVD for fans of this spoof.

I was a teenager impressed.......2003-12-28

The minute this movie starts with a long shot of a lake and the hilariously bad rockabilly/swingin' song "I Was a Teenage Zombie" (by the Fleshtones), you know you're in for a treat. There is a Mexican pimp selling some bad weed, and he is just amazing. In one scene, he rips a guy's face off and says, "Yeah, I'm the weedman! I got some WEED!" I was rolling on the floor laughing. One of the characters changes into a baseball uniform JUST to hit another character in the head with a baseball bat and then changes back in the next shot. It's all very humorous. I'm guessing the people who gave this a bad rating were expecting a Fulci classic or something.
