RiffTrax Live: Night of the Living Dead is a comedic take on the classic horror movie of the same name. The film, which was first released in 1968, tells the story of a group of people who are trapped in a farmhouse while surrounded by a horde of undead zombies. The RiffTrax version of the film features commentary from comedians Bill Corbett, Kevin Murphy, and Michael J. Nelson, who are also the writers and stars of the popular TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000.

The premise of RiffTrax Live: Night of the Living Dead is simple: the three comedians are watching the movie and making fun of it as they go. The audience is treated to their hilarious commentary throughout the film, as well as skits and other comedic bits during the intermission. The movie itself is shown on a large screen, and the comedians' commentary is broadcast live from another location.

One of the things that makes RiffTrax Live: Night of the Living Dead so entertaining is the way in which the comedians riff on the film. They poke fun at everything from the cheesy special effects to the stilted dialogue, and their commentary is often irreverent and absurd. They also make plenty of pop culture references, which will be familiar to anyone who is a fan of their work on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Despite the fact that it is a comedy, RiffTrax Live: Night of the Living Dead still manages to be a respectful tribute to the original film. The comedians clearly have a great deal of affection for the source material, and their commentary is never mean-spirited or dismissive. Instead, they use humor to point out the absurdities and flaws in the film, while still celebrating its strengths.

One of the highlights of the show is the intermission, which features skits and other comedic bits. These segments are often just as funny as the commentary on the film itself, and they allow the comedians to show off their improv skills. They also serve to break up the film, which can be quite intense and scary at times.

Overall, RiffTrax Live: Night of the Living Dead is a hilarious and entertaining take on a classic horror film. It will appeal to fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000, as well as anyone who enjoys irreverent humor and clever commentary. The film itself is still a classic, and the addition of the RiffTrax commentary only serves to make it even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a good laugh, this is definitely a movie worth checking out.
