History Film / ReturnOfTheLivingDeadRaveToTheGrave

* DeusExNukina: The government actually tries this maneuver ''again''. Thankfully though, it works this time, albeit only because the Tryoxin 5 zombies are weaker than the zombies from the first three movies and because the virus did not become airborne in the aftermath.
* DrugsAreBad: In ''Rave to the Grave'', a bunch of college students cook up a recreational drug based on Tryoxin 5. Three guesses what the side effects are, and the first two don't count.

* JackUpWithPhlebotinum: Kids in raves gulp down pills of what they think is a rave drug like Ecstasy, but it is actually Trioxin, the chemical phlebotinum from the movies that turns people into zombies.

* OnlySaneMan: Julian and Jenny are wise enough to not mess with the Tryoxin 5 and actually test the chemical before doing anything that could lead to disaster.

* TooDumbToLive: Cody ''really'' should've listened to Julian and Jenny and left the Tryoxin 5 alone.

** Like in the [[Film/ReturnOfTheLivingDeadNecropolis previous movie]], the new Tryoxin 5 zombies are nowhere as durable as the 2-4-5 Trioxin zombies from the first three movies. Instead of being unstoppable juggernauts, these zombies don't even have to be shot in the head to bring them down as even a few rounds in the chest will do the job.

* IncongruouslyDressedZombie: Several zombies in this movie wear distinct outfits that make them stand out. Notable examples include a zombie dressed as a clown, a zombie dressed as a jester, a zombie dressed in a demon costume, a female zombie with her long hair in ponytail wearing a warrior princess costume, a zombie wearing a cowboy costume, a zombie dressed in a disco dancer costume, a zombie dressed up in a medieval monk costume, a zombie wearing a knight costume, etc.
