FEATURED ZOMBIE: TARMAN

I'd like to do a recurring feature, spotlighting some of the more memorable zombies, and what better way to kick things off than with an undead superstar... The Tarman, from the 1985 classic, RETURN of the LIVING DEAD!!

RotLD is quite possibly my favorite zombie film, and Tarman is pure genius in it's detail, creativity, character, and execution!

From IMDB:

The zombie, Tarman is the most prominent. He first appears at the very beginning of the film as a regular dead body in a barrel but when the Trioxin is released he melts in thick black tar and when he is shown on-screen for the first time (which occurs in the middle of the movie) he can pronounce "Brain!" but he has no lips so it would be hard for him to even say the word "Brain".
