My Boyfriend's Back1993
“A comedy that proves true love never dies.”
Directed by Bob Balaban
The premise
Missy McCloud is the most beautiful girl in school and Johnny Dingle has been in love with her for years. One night, as Johnny tries to stop an armed robbery and save Missy from danger, he's killed, but resurrected as a zombie not long after. Now, with the help of his mentor, self-proclaimed Zombie Expert Maggie, Johnny must control his flesh-eating urges while trying to win the heart of Missy.
Horror Vault's take
High-school hopeless romantic Johnny Dingle gets a second shot at winning over his dream girl — the only catch is that he's now undead and fighting a very inconvenient hunger for human flesh. Part teen rom-com, part gross-out zombie romp, the film leans hard into its absurd premise with campy humor and small-town charm. Johnny's quest to be a normal boyfriend while literally falling apart makes for a delightfully offbeat coming-of-age (and coming-back-from-the-dead) story.
