Trioxin (aka 2-4-5 Trioxin) is an experimental nerve agent being developed in the Return of the Living Dead
movies.

Trioxin is a bizarre chemical, which has the unique ability to bring the dead back to life as mindless brain-eaters. The chemical was originally created by the United States military to destroy marijuana plants. However, what it does is turn the dead into zombies. In the first two films, barrels get lost and are found by civilians where it then leaks, exposing bodies within the exposed areas to rise again as brain-hungry zombies. In the first film, the attempts to destroy the bodies via cremation backfire and the smoke rises into the air and forms acid rain that seeps into the ground and brings about more zombies.

In Return of the Living Dead III
, it is revealed that the U.S. military is deliberately experimenting with the Trioxin, in an effort to create zombie supersoldiers.

The substance should not be mistaken for the real Trioxin, which is used by morticians to repair cells and maintain a corpse's contours after postmortem tissue constriction. The chemical's back-story is also partially based on Agent Orange.
