1981's Night of the Zombies was the first film to
reference a mutagenic gas as a source of zombie
contagion, later echoed by Trioxin in Dan O'Bannon's
1985 film, Return of the Living Dead.

RotLD took a more
comedic approach than Romero's films; Return was the
first film to feature zombies which hungered
specifically for brains instead of all human flesh (this
included the vocalization of "Brains!" as a part of
zombie vocabulary), and is the source of the
now-familiar cliché of brain-devouring zombies seen
elsewhere, such as on The Simpsons.
