RiffTrax: Night of the Living Dead (Three Riffer Edition) is a hilarious and irreverent take on the classic horror film, Night of the Living Dead, starring Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett. As the title suggests, this version of the film features three riffers instead of the usual two, which means three times the jokes and three times the laughs.

In case you're not familiar with RiffTrax, it's a comedy commentary track that's meant to be played alongside a movie. The riffers watch the movie and make fun of it, pointing out plot holes, bad acting, and anything else that strikes them as funny. It's like having your funniest friends over to watch a movie with you, only they're professionals who are really good at being funny on the spot.

Night of the Living Dead is the perfect movie for riffing. It's a classic horror movie that's ripe for parody, with its slow-moving zombies and low-budget special effects. The riffers take advantage of every opportunity to make fun of the movie, from the comically bad acting of some of the cast members to the ridiculous dialog that's full of horror movie cliches.

One of the things that sets this version of Night of the Living Dead apart from other RiffTrax movies is the presence of three riffers instead of the usual two. Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett have a great chemistry together, and their jokes and banter never feel forced or awkward. They each bring their own unique style of humor to the table, which makes for a great variety of jokes.

The three riffers also have a lot of fun riffing on the various plot points of the movie. They mock the characters' stupidity for barricading themselves in a house with no weapons, express confusion over plot points that don't make sense, and poke fun at the nonchalant way the characters react to the fact that there are flesh-eating zombies outside.

One of the best things about this version of Night of the Living Dead is the way the riffers play off each other. They're all so quick-witted and funny that it's impossible not to laugh at their jokes. They're also great at building on each other's jokes, taking a small observation or joke and running with it to create something even funnier.

Of course, the movie itself is still worth watching, even without the RiffTrax commentary. Night of the Living Dead is a classic horror movie that's still just as creepy and unsettling today as it was when it was released in 1968. The zombies may look silly by today's standards, but they're still pretty scary in their own way, especially when they start breaking into the house and attacking the characters.

Overall, RiffTrax: Night of the Living Dead (Three Riffer Edition) is a must-watch for fans of horror movies and comedy. It's the perfect combination of scares and laughs, and it's sure to entertain both movie buffs and casual viewers alike. Whether you're a fan of the original Night of the Living Dead or just looking for a good laugh, this version of the movie is definitely worth checking out.
