That is correct--the new Region 1 DVD of "Return of the Living Dead Part 2" is FUCKED UP. The entire score has been redone. The picture looks nice but the change in the soundtrack totally ruins the experience. (They even wrote some other stupid song for the end credits, and do not use the new-wave version of "Monster Mash.") Of course, there is NOTHING on the DVD box to indicate that this is an "altered" version.
Strangely, if you switch the audio track to the French dub, you will hear the film with its original musical score, albeit in mono.
So hang onto that VHS version, because it features the original soundtrack and mix--in full rich stereo.
