Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave

A team of Interpol agents arrives at a mortuary with a canister of Trioxin, determined to destroy the remaining stock to prevent another outbreak. They establish a plan to eliminate the last canisters and avert disaster. The tension rises as the operation unfolds in a confined, high-stakes setting.

One of the Interpol agents sprays three corpses with Trioxin, reviving them into zombies. Chaos erupts as the gas spreads through the mortuary. Charles Garrison is killed in the ensuing chaos, along with the mortuary owner and a government official.

It's Halloween, and Jenny, Julian, Cody, and Becky—survivors from the previous film—are now in college when they receive news of Charles's murder. The message jolts them from routine campus life into a renewed danger. Fear and urgency quickly overshadow normal college routines.

Jenny and Julian search for Charles's belongings and stumble upon the last two barrels of Trioxin. The discovery confirms a new threat and triggers a plan to control or exploit the substance. Tension builds as the group weighs the consequences of their find.

One of the barrels is taken to Cody, who tests the chemical inside and begins to understand its power. His experiments hint at dangerous applications and potential consequences. The knowledge sets the stage for the ensuing exploitation.

Jenny's brother Jeremy tastes the chemical, mistaking it for a party drug. He experiences a violent spasm and foams at the mouth, later describing the sensation. The substance earns the name 'Z' for its zombie-like effect on living hosts.

Cody, Jeremy, and Shelby extract the chemical from the canister and turn it into pills, which they start selling to Skeet to distribute around the school. The pills are marketed as a new drug with unknown, dangerous effects. The operation marks a shift from experimentation to profiteering.

Skeet informs customers to take only one pill for health reasons, but most take more, accelerating the reanimation process. The overuse spreads the zombie effect rapidly among students and party-goers. Chaos begins to spread beyond the lab and into social gatherings.

Gino and Aldo Serra realize something is wrong after seeing the severed head of a zombie. They go to question Julian, who is familiar with Trioxin but refuses to reveal anything about the canisters. Suspense builds as the truth remains hidden.

As the drug circulates, people turn into zombies at a rave, plunging the event into chaos. Cody and Shelby are killed in the ensuing violence. The party atmosphere quickly becomes a nightmare scenario.

In the midst of the chaos, Jenny confronts the outbreak and kills Zombie Jeremy. Her action marks a personal confrontation with the consequences of the drug's spread. The scene underscores the scale and reach of the apocalypse.

Aldo calls in military assistance, and an American bomber plane is reported to be on the way to the rave location. The arrival of military force signals a drastic attempt to contain the spread. The tension peaks as plans for a decisive strike are set in motion.

The bomber plane detonates at the center of the rave, collapsing the building and killing many in the explosion. Jenny and Julian manage to emerge from the rubble alive, but the blast leaves the scene in ruins. The fallout reshapes the remaining survivors' chances for safety.

Aldo asks where Gino is and the others search the wreckage for him. It remains unclear whether Gino survived the bombing or was lost in the destruction. The uncertainty adds an ominous note to the ending.

The Tarman zombie lurches toward the party, hoping for another ride to the event. Unable to hitch a ride, the creature continues its appointed path toward the party, yelling Brains! as it goes. The final image underscores the ongoing threat of the outbreak.
