Think its Return of the Living Dead. Bolano and Romero and the sound of a bottle of single malt just opened. Return of the Living Dead is a hilarious comedy, but it's not one of Romero's (i think he never did full-on comedy with zombies), it's by O'Bannon who also wrote the Alien screenplay (and came up with the original story).

Once they bleed out of pop culture I’ll be able to go back and do them again. I don’t want to touch them now. Gosh, they are all over the place. The Walking Dead is the number one television series in the States, World War Z, games, commercials… Ugh! It’s too much! The filmmaker continued: It feels like I don’t have a horse in the race. They asked me to do a couple of episodes of The Walking Dead but I didn’t want to be a part of it. Basically it’s just a soap opera with a zombie occasionally. I always used the zombie as a character for satire or a political criticism and I find that missing in what’s happening now. To be fair, his last movie also moved zombies to background story.
