I Was a Teenage Zombie is a 1987 horror-comedy film directed by John Elias Michalakis. The film tells the story of Jonathan, a high school student whose life takes a wild turn when he is bitten by a strange creature and becomes a zombie. The film opens with Jonathan hanging out with his friends at a local arcade. After losing a bet, Jonathan is forced to spend the night in a cemetery, where he is attacked by a zombie. Jonathan wakes up the next day with a strange mark on his arm and begins to experience strange symptoms, such as a craving for raw meat and an aversion to sunlight.

At first, Jonathan tries to ignore his symptoms and continue with his normal life. However, as his condition worsens, he is forced to seek help from his friends, who are skeptical of his claims. Meanwhile, the local police department, led by the bumbling Officer Vinnie, begins to investigate reports of a zombie terrorizing the town.

As Jonathan's condition becomes more severe, he is forced to confront the reality of his situation and the ethical implications of being a zombie. He begins to experience conflicting emotions, feeling both a desire to live and a sense of guilt for the harm he is causing to others.
