PICTURE OF THE DAY

I wish I’d thought of this last month….It’s what zombies do on Halloween.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

THE 12 DAYS OF ZOMBIES: Day 12: We’re here!

THE 12 DAYS OF ZOMBIES: Day 11: Cemetery Man

This is it. The last thing to see before you watch The Walking Dead tomorrow night on AMC. The 1994 Michele Soavi film is kind of like Buffy The Vampire Slayer for zombies. Rupert Everett stars as a cemetery groundskeeper who makes sure that the dead stay on his side of the gate. It has [...]

THE 12 DAYS OF ZOMBIES: Day 10: Thriller

Continuing my salute to my second-favorite B-Movie genre (nothing tops women’s prison movies, of course) and the ramp up to the Halloween-night debut of AMC’s The Walking Dead T.V. adaptation of one of the greatest comic books of all time, I thought I’d go this time with one that influenced Adelard’s amazing black and white [...]

THE 12 DAYS OF ZOMBIES: Day 9: Fido

A small, independent film about a world in which humans actually won the battle against the living dead, and turned them into domesticated pets. I love this movie. You need to see it.  Here’s the trailer:

THE 12 DAYS OF ZOMBIES: Day 8: Shaun of the Dead.

One thing that makes The Walking Dead comic book so great is that it doesn’t make zombies into a joke: The premise of the comic and the TV series coming on October 31 is to take a fiercely realistic approach to the idea that the dead are walking, and hunting the living for sport. Edgar [...]

THE 12 DAYS OF ZOMBIES: Day 7: Re-Animator

1985 was the year of a zombie renaissance: We got yesterday’s entry, and then this great one, which is actually more of a Frankenstein film than a traditional zombie flick. The gore is over the top and ridiculous, the budget nonexistent, and the laughs are a mile-a-minute. If you have a strong stomach. And no, [...]

THE 12 DAYS OF ZOMBIES: Day 6: Return of the living Dead

Back to the hardcore, after yesterday’s entry. We’re halfway home to Halloween, so it’s time to check out the 1985 splattercomedy that asked the question: If the dead come back to life, then what happens to bisected dogs used for biology class? Great punk zombie music, one of the best topless scenes in zombie-movie history, [...]

THE 12 DAYS OF ZOMBIES: Day 5: Pushing Daisies

Okay, so this is my out-of-left-field blogger choice. The “Pushing Daisies” television show, short lived as it was, was about a man who had the power to animate dead for brief periods. The reason I’m including it here is because his love interest is clearly a zombie (although not the brain-eating, brain-dead, brain-rotting type), and [...]
