ReportSynopsis
In October of 1981, Curtis Danko, the creepy kid from the small town of Walker Falls, was killed in a mysterious accident. He left behind a warning to the town: "If you ever have another Halloween again, I will return and destroy you all!" Curtis was buried in a locked crypt, along with a sculpture so evil, that unearthly fates were said to await anyone who looked at it. Now, 20 years later, the Walker men have returned to Walker Falls. They start a chain of events that unleashes an army of zombies on the town. Has Curtis Danko risen from the grave to exact his revenge? And will the people of Walker Falls make it through the night?

Uncle Fred loses his hand and it moves around in its own for a while. Played for laughs and kids, on par with Thing from The Addams Family. At one point, after performimg as a birthday clown, Fred's body falls apart in a box, but they put him back together right away. It isn't graphic. The zombies have a lot of undead makeup on, but it's relatively tame. Definitely kid-friendly.

The villain's comeuppance is that his abusive father comes back from the dead to beat him. This is played for laughs.

At one point, the townsfolk are discussing what the zombies want. Someone says they probably want human flesh. Several townsfolk look over at a full-bodied female character, who is offended.

Curtis Danko is burned alive in a kiln. We don't see it happen, but it is heavily implied.

One of the few zombie movies where no one gets eaten at all. They freak out about the possibility of it, but it never happens.

Uncle Fred is crushed to death by pumpkins, but it's not graphic at all. It's very kid-friendly.

Not in an overly tragic sense (this is a cute family film, after all), but there is a running theme throughout of parents neglecting their kids to varying degrees. One example would be that Danny, the protagonist, refers to his father as "the invisible man."

Very tame. Suitable for children. Uncle Fred's hand falls off and he spends some time trying to find it.

Sort of. Uncle Fred remarks that he almost killed himself when he woke up from the grave and saw himself in a tie.
