FateofDestinee Halloween Zombie Treat
Miss Destinee contacted Blog of the Living Dead indicating she too was a zombie nut, along with being a weapons enthusiast (an awesome combination at the apocalypse). Both of these interests joined with her passion in film making creating a fun zombie movie trailer.

2011 Toronto After Dark Film Festival
A Hell of a Great Time! I wish I wrote the names down of everybody I met in the After the After-Party Party, but, of course, that takes an effort... and I wasn't in effort mode. I did enjoy the Captain Kirk-off with Tattoo-guy (yes, he has a Tattoo of Tattoo on his arm. Fantasy Island reference for you people under 20). Enjoyed my chatting with -- wtf is his name... dude with the leather jacket, spikes, and two-tone hair-- you were very cool-- thanks for everything. Don't take my not remembering your name personally-- I often can't remember my middle name. To the organizers of the event-- top notch -- you know who you are! Julie Swanson, the blond chick with all the pictures, hanging out with tattoo guy -- I await the pictures. To the many filmmakers and actors and producers and distributors etc etc etc-- I hope you had as much fun as I did.

Toronto 2011 After Dark Film Festival
This year, the festival is being held at the Toronto Underground Theatre on Spadina. This is a unique experience, to say the least. Not enough people have ventured into this theatre.
I have accidentally-- looking for a washroom. I am not making this up, but there is a door in the hall outside the theatre, that leads many floors into the ground. The door is innocuously labeled "Bathrooms." I have never been to the bottom.

At this time we can't reveal the other seven, (zombies do not become zombies instantly-- you and I know this). When the time is right, we will reveal the other seven.
But this one, info that is out there for the living and the dead to read-- we would be reticent not to forward this to everyone.
So grab your notebook. Here we go....

Bong of the Dead DVD RIP MKV 2011
If you're here to acquire a DVD rip of Bong of the Dead-- keep on reading. As "Blog of the Living Dead" will rise quickly to the top of the Google Search-- you're probably here for nefarious reasons.
The Walking Dead-- Premiere - Season 2!
I've got munchies and beer, and pizza-- all arranged ahead of time. Yeah, I know it debuted last night-- but-- then there was Tivo.
I avoided it last night. I have gotten the wife to shackle me to the bed so that I couldn't give in and turn on AMC last night. Oh, I protested. Stuff came flying outta my face like Regan in the Exorcist. Foul foul stuff....
But, I digress.
I'm minutes away from throwing this baby on. You know that feeling. Yeah, ya do.
I've unplugged the phone, and tried to disable our fire alarm/smoke detector. It seems to be hardwired into our condo. Bit of a problem there.
Stuffed towels under the doors, pulled the shades, popped a couple of ant-acids, erected a barrier that blocks out any ambient light... I am ready...
Oh- think I'm gonna pee my pants.
UPDATE:

Bong of the Dead-- Blog of the Living Dead REVIEW
 |
| Jy Harris and Mark Wynn |
We've been following this home grown zombie sweetheart for months... and we have to say, we couldn't wait to see the the whole thing.
This meant following the exploits of Thomas Newman (creator/director extraordinaire) and his odyssey to create the quintessential awesome zombie flick ... with well, little to no money. If that didn't catch our (or your) attention, well, nothing would.

Blog of the Living Dead-- 'Annual Zombie in People Skin' 2012 Nominations Now OPEN!
We are not talking about your next door neighbor, or the brooding dude down the road that hasn't seen sunlight since... who has never seen sunlight. We are talking about public figures-- they don't need to be politicians-- but they need to be in the public eye.
Here's the awesome part. We will personally present the winner (if he/she lives in this city (Toronto)-- with a "Zombie of the Year" plaque -- hey give me a budget and we'll fly to the next winner). Better yet, if you have cajones, we will send you the award to you to present personally to the individual-- if at all possible. Send your nominations, and explain why this individual should be slotted into the Zombies in People-Skin Category. Send to:
blogofthedead@yahoo.com or post them to "Comments" below.
Photos will be taken at the presentation of the award, and we guarantee, blood will boil. For those outside Toronto, nominations that I can not physically and/or economically fulfill -- we will dedicate an entire page to exactly why they have won this prestigious honor. Better yet, if I can recruit those nominating the nominee presenting an "Annual Zombie in People Skin" award-- get a photo-- we'll post it. If you really can't get anywhere near the nominee, get as close as you can-- use your imagination.
UPDATE: We are accepting Nominations for 2012 even though October is many months away. Take this opportunity, if someone is really pissing you off, to put 'em on the list. A brief description why would also be useful.

Dawn of the Dead - Review -- Zack Style
You know, I really hate those reviewers that instinctively downgrade a movie because it's a remake, and one by a successful Hollywood director/producer. And really, for no reason-- often without even watching the movie. Zack Snyder did a remake of Romero's "Dawn of the Dead."

___________________________________________________________________________
DISCLAIMER: For the sake of this listing, anything undead, evil, supernatural, in-law, of any physical substance (therefore ghosts and poltergeists are excluded) -- anything that still has body parts in this world, and is still using said body parts to kill and eat people... IS included.
A
Aaah! Zombies!! (2007) **
Finally, a film emerges with the courage to tell a zombie story from the perspective of the undead themselves. Wasting Away focuses sympathetically on a group of zombies just beginning to grasp the implications of their horrific new existence. Writer-director Matthew Kohnen's comedic nightmare combines wit and absurdity in its novel approach to the zombie genre, revealing the suffering of a neglected monster minority.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? That they called it "Aaaah Zombies" so that they would get to the top of a list.
Awaken the Dead (2007) **
Worlds collide when a murderer turned priest and a former prostitute find themselves trapped in a safe house while those outside succumb to a virus that's transforming the city's inhabitants into the living dead. Drawn to the house by a mysterious letter, the priest must now solve the missive's riddle if he and his companion are to survive. Gary Kohn, Lindsey Morris, Nate Witty and Michael Robert Nyman co-star.
B
Black Death (2010) **
Sean Bean stars in this historically rooted horror-thriller as Ulric, a church-appointed knight in the age of the Bubonic Plague's first wave who's tasked with investigating rumors of a woman (Carice van Houten) who can bring the dead back to life. A young monk (Eddie Redmayne) named Osmund is aiding Ulric on his quest to root out the necromancer -- and to determine whether or not she has ties to Satan.
Black Sheep (2006) ***
On a quiet New Zealand ranch, a genetic experiment has gone horribly wrong, transforming a calm flock of sheep into killers hungry for human blood in this outrageous comic gore-fest. Those bitten become ravenous were-sheep. As the body count rises, a desperate handful of outnumbered survivors take a last stand against the ovine onslaught. Who will live, and who will be the next victim of the vicious killer sheep?
Read Blog of the Living Dead's Review of Black Sheep HERE!
NEW
Blubberella (2011) **
In this gleefully low-rent action-comedy, hefty half-vampire Blubberella sets her always-ravenous sights on a Nazi leader who's concocting a diabolical plan: to create an army of undead soldiers to help his Führer conquer the globe.
C
Cabin Fever (2002) ****
Five college friends head off to the woods for a weekend of drinking, partying and fooling around. But as they sit at their campfire the first night, a blood-soaked hermit with a flesh-eating virus approaches them. They shoo him away, but the hapless kids start to catch the bug, and paranoia and hostility run rampant. Meanwhile, the locals slowly learn that they've got the bug, too. Eli Roth (Hostel) directs.
As I've said, a flesh eater is a flesh eater. Try duking that out with a vegan!
NEW
Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever (2009) **
It's back: The flesh-eating virus that decimated a cabin full of coeds is on the loose again. This time around, a high school prom is ground zero for the epidemic in this horror sequel directed by Ti West. Thanks to a local stream being contaminated during the first outbreak, the bottled water being distributed at the high school dance is causing the unwitting students to break out in ghastly blisters and sores.
Cheezy Horror Trailers: Vol. 1 (2006) ***
Want something a little lighter, but not lighter on the gore?
Buckets of blood and legions of undead are found in this collection of over-the-top trailers for some of the cheesiest horror flicks ever made. Among the low-budget (lowbrow) gems in the collection are trailers for Curse of the Undead, Doctor Jekyll and Sister Hyde, Inn of the Damned, Abby and Eaten Alive. Also included are Horrors of the Black Museum, Seizure, The Sinful Dead, The House on Haunted Hill, Dr. Phibes, The Children and more.
The Children (2008) ***
It's a classic English Christmas in the countryside -- snow on the ground, turkey in the oven, the laughter of frolicking children -- until the fun and games take a dark and deadly turn. Is something in the woods spurring the kids to murder? And why are grown-ups always the last to notice when things go horribly awry? There are no easy answers in this nasty little horror flick, but you'll never see Christmas the same way again.
You brought them into this world-- they're gonna take you out. They're pasty-faced, dead-eyed creatures that just want a dead-time story...
D
Dawn of the Dead (2004) ****
Based on the 1978 George Romero gore classic, (and directed by Zack Snyder -- "300", "Sucker Punch", "The Watchmen") this horror remake takes place in the wake of a plague as the United States is overrun by millions of corpses who walk the earth as cannibalistic zombies. A small group of survivors, including a nurse (Sarah Polley) and a police officer (Ving Rhames), try to find shelter within a massive shopping mall. But the zombies have a kind of sense memory and start arriving -- in droves -- for a shopping spree.
(Awesome Remake!!! -- Read OUR review of this film here!)
The Devil's Rejects (2005) **
Rob zombie's followup to "House of a Thousand Corpses." Does not have the grit of the first film-- but it does have Sid Haig. He would really be your worst nightmare if you're lost on an old country road, and he's your only help.
Enlisting the aid of two vigilante brothers, Texas sheriff John Wydell (William Forsythe) seeks vengeance against his brother's creepy murderers in this Western-flavored sequel to writer-director Rob Zombie's bloody House of 1,000 Corpses. With payback in mind, the posse heads out to the Firefly homestead to take down Otis (Bill Moseley), Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie), Tiny (Matthew McGrorey) and Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) once and for all.
Diary of the Dead (2007) ****
George A. Romero
While filming a low-budget horror film, Jason (Joshua Close) and his film school friends hear news reports of zombie sightings. As the living dead close in on the film crew, Jason seizes the opportunity to add real blood and guts to his movie. Meanwhile the American government promises to stop the violent uprising, but the relentless zombies gain an advantage by wiping out all forms of communication with the outside world.
Read George Romero's interview regarding "Diary of the Dead."
Read OUR review of "Diary of the Dead."
DIEner (20101) **
Slaying strangers in a lonesome country diner becomes hazardous duty for a roving serial killer after his first victims come back to life as zombies who are eager to make a meal of him and his next intended targets. Josh Grote plays the friendly and engaging murderer, Ken, in a well-crafted indie gore fest that extracts new laughs from classic genre stereotypes -- including a bumbling country sheriff (Larry Purtrell) who wanders into the mayhem.
Doghouse (2009) ***
Six guys hell-bent on having a raucous weekend away from wives and lovers arrive in the town of Moodley. But something's odd about this quaint hamlet. Where are the men? And why do all the women look like they're thirsting for blood? The poor blokes soon discover that half the population has been wiped out by the same virus-infected, man-hating cannibals terrorizing them. Stephen Graham, Danny Dyer, Noel Clarke and Lee Ingleby star.
Doomsday (2008) ***
When a deadly viral epidemic breaks out in present-day Britain, killing hundreds of thousands of people, the government quarantines the infected behind a walled city -- only to be confronted with a resurgence of the disease 30 years in the future. In the vein of Mad Max and 28 Days Later, this morality tale veiled as a sci-fi hypothetical features enough action, combat and suspense to keep audiences wondering, "What if?"
F-G
Flight of the Living Dead (2007) ***
During a transatlanic flight, a corpse emerges from the cargo hold and lays waste to the passengers, turning them into zombies. A handful of travelers try to stop the ghoulish horde, but how do you fight the undead at 30,000 feet above the ocean? The living passengers get wildly creative in this wickedly funny, fabulously bloody gore fest written and directed by Scott Thomas and starring David Chisum, Kristen Kerr, Dale Midkiff and Sarah Laine.
We watched this, and loved it!!! A couple of stumbles (especially the ending), all in all-- a good time was had.
Read our review of the film: Flight of the Living Dead.
H
House of the Dead (2003) **
On an island off the coast of Florida, a college rave party is in full swing. But the kids' X-laced escapades are soon interrupted by zombies and monsters that attack them on the ground, from the air and in the sea. Seems the freaks are ruled by an ancient ghoul named Castillo, who once upon a time searched for a fountain of youth and eventually found it -- but at a hideous price.
House of 1,000 Corpses (2003) ***
A group of couples stops for a gas fill-up when they happen upon Spaulding's
Museum of Monsters and Madmen. Initially intrigued to hear about Dr. Satan,
the unsuspecting kids soon become a sick family's source of torturous and
murderous fun. Set in 1977 as a gory throwback to the blood-fests of the 1970s,
writer-director Rob Zombie's over-the-top horror flick stars Sid Haig.
This movie, by Rob Zombie, was a cult classic for years before it was even released-- with no studio willing to release. My zombie friends and I waited those years to see it. Did it live up to our expectations? Well, let's just say-- it lived up to the gore factor. There were a number of awesome photographed scenes, showing Zombie's flair for the dramatic, including an assassination that just goes on and on-- awesome!
Horror Planet (1981) *
Investigating a distant planet, a group of interstellar explorers stumbles across a bizarre alien with breeding on its mind. To that end, it assaults team member Sandy (Judy Geeson), leaving her pregnant. Now, driven by the voracious needs of her unborn "child," Sandy develops an insatiable craving for her colleagues' flesh. With a ferocity only a mother protecting her young could muster, Sandy cannibalizes her crew with bloody abandon.
I-J
NEW
Iron Man (1994) Seasons 1-2 ****
Iron Man is back in this animated series that aired from 1994 to 1996 as part of the "Marvel Action Hour." There's action right out of the gate when Iron Man goes up against the Mandarin and a deadly zombie army.
Infection (The Invasion Begins) (2010) *
When convicted killer Deke Evans (Bryan Brewer) returns home after serving his sentence, he discovers that his once-peaceful town is now the epicenter of a plague that's morphing everyday citizens into flesh-hungry zombies. As Deke becomes a reluctant hero in the fight against the undead, a reporter sniffs out the truth that cryptic government agencies will do anything to hide. Howard Wexler directs this sci-fi thriller.
It's Alive (2008) ***
While not exactly a zombie movie, it is a film about a baby that eats people. A zombie in training? A zombie-wanna-be?
For new mom Lenore (Bijou Phillips), maternal bliss soon turns to horror when she discovers her little bundle of joy is a natural born killer who leaves a trail of dead in his tiny wake. As the death toll mounts, the doting mom can stay in denial for only so long. James Murray co-stars as the proud papa in director Josef Rusnak's chilling remake of Larry Cohen's 1974 cult horror hit.
Jennifer's Body (2009) ***
Once again, this movie walks on the fringe of zombie-dom. Starring ultra-hot Megan Fox as Jennifer, we see the gradual transformation of her into a real man-eater. Is that zombie-ism, cannibalism, demon-ism...?
After a supernatural romp with a satanic emo band, hot cheerleader Jennifer (Megan Fox) is transformed into a demon with an insatiable appetite for high school boys. Now, it's up to Jennifer's BFF, Needy (Amanda Seyfried), to protect the guys from the bloodthirsty man-eater. Penned by Diablo Cody (Juno), this one-of-a-kind horror comedy co-stars Adam Brody as the devil-worshipping band's lead singer.
This is technically a "demon movie"-- but the visceral experience is all zombie .
Johnny Sunshine (2008) **
In a world overrun by zombies, drugs and violence, entertainment is hard to come by. Enter Johnny Sunshine (Shey Bland), the beautiful yet cold-blooded assassin whose zombie-killing exploits are the basis for the world's most popular reality television show. When she discovers that her double-crossing producer has arranged to have her taken out, Johnny decides it's time to take her world-famous murdering skills behind the scenes.
K-L
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) **
An alien band of killer clowns descends from the cosmos to harvest scores of small-town victims, cocooning their prey in cotton candy to eat later. With the extraterrestrials disguised as simple circus workers, the authorities don't suspect a thing. But the joke is on the clowns when two streetwise teens (Grant Cramer and Suzanne Snyder), armed with an ice cream truck, do battle to save their friends in this cult favorite.
These are not your friendly neighborhood walking dead-- they are clowns. From outer space. Who want to eat you. We have decided that eating people is a prerequisite for a zombie flick. Not a cannibal. Any other-worldly, government created, supernatural people-eating-thing.
And beside, Clowns (especially those spelled with the letter "K") scare the bejesus outta us!
Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1974) Seasons 1 ***
Independent News Service reporter Carl Kolchak (Darren McGavin) investigates the supernatural in this 1970s series. Kolchak has his work cut out for him as he tracks down Jack the Ripper, aliens, zombies, werewolves, vengeful spooks, Satanic dogs and a boogeyman from the Louisiana bogs. Guest stars include Richard Kiel, Phil Silvers, Keenan Wynn, Jamie Farr, Bernie Kopell, Tom Skerritt, Scatman Crothers, Dick Van Patten and Erik Estrada.
Lifeforce (1985) ***
In director Tobe Hooper's stylized sci-fi horror flick, American and British astronauts on a joint mission exploring an alien spacecraft (concealed in Halley's Comet gaseous tail) discover that the vessel contains several seemingly human bodies. But after they're brought back to Earth, they come alive and start turning Londoners into zombies -- leaving only surviving astronaut Tom Carlsen (Steve Railsback) to save the planet.
Not your standard zombie flick. Want something different? This will do it.
Mutant Vampire Zombies
from the 'Hood! (2008) **
When a strange cosmic event turns the citizens of Los Angeles into blood-drinking, flesh-eating, sex-starved zombies, a handful of cops and gang members form an unlikely alliance to fend off the insatiable undead. Soon the motley crew must make their way to a compound up the coast, where a scientist and his sexy daughter may hold the key to survival. C. Thomas Howell stars in this indie horror-comedy.
Night of the Demons (2009) ***
When she set out to throw the ultimate Halloween party, Angela Feld (Shannon Elizabeth) picked the spookiest site she could find: the rumored-to-be-cursed Broussard Mansion. But by "ultimate," she didn't mean for it to be her last. Still, thanks to gates that have inexplicably locked, Angela and her friends (Edward Furlong, Monica Keena, Bobbi Sue Luther, John F. Beach, Michael Copon and Diora Baird) are now trapped inside with no way out.
If we can allow "Jennifer's Body" into the list, we can allow "Night of the Demons." As we said, this is technically a "demon movie"-- but the visceral experience is all zombie .
Nightmare Alley (2010) ***
This over-the-top gore anthology from Brain Damage Films features seven low-budget, high-camp horror fests complete with zombie cowpokes, repugnant neighbors, a modern-day Jack the Ripper and more. Writer-director Scarlet Fry also serves as the collection's macabre host, introducing tales that range in subject from a toy rat that's set on world domination to a rumination on the perils of online hookups.
O-P-Q
The People Under the Stairs (1991) ***
Master of horror Wes Craven brings an urban twist to the classic fairy tale in the story of Fool, a 13-year-old lad who succumbs to ghetto pressures to steal from a local house. Fool's instant karma comes in the gruesome form of the house's residents -- an insane, deformed family of murderers. The perils of latchkey kids and warnings about absentee parents are the subtle social subtext as Fool and other victims try to escape the deadly home.
Yep-- there are flesh-eating zombies in that house. A whole mess of 'em in one house!
Phantasm II (1988) ***
In this 1980s sequel to a '70s cult classic, Mike (James LeGros) -- the teen hero of the earlier film -- has just been released from a mental hospital and is determined to resume his quest to destroy grave-robbing mortician, the Tall Man (Angus Scrimm). Enlisting the aid of his old pal, Reggie (Reggie Bannister), Mike must destroy the silver sphere-wielding menace before he harms the mysterious girl who's been appearing in Mike's dreams.
Prince of Darkness (1987) ***
A cylinder of mysterious, green liquid is found in an abandoned church. It may contain the ultimate evil: an ancient iniquity that longs to escape. Several physicists try to comprehend what's happening and race to save the world, even as they're being turned into zombies one by one. Director John Carpenter fills Prince of Darkness with his trademark mix of horror and humor.
.REC *****
Trapped in a quarantined Barcelona apartment building with residents, firefighters and a growing horde of ravenous zombies, television reporter Angela (Manuela Velasco) and her cameraman, Pablo, record brutal deaths and terrifying events while trying to stay alive. Filmed entirely from unseen Pablo's point of view, this tension-filled Spanish horror film thrills viewers with its aggressive action. Paco Plaza and Jaume Balagueró direct.
This film inspired Hollywood's version, "Quarantine." This one is FAR superior, a hundred times creepier-- you will love it! Our recommendation.
Resident Evil (Original) (2002) *****
The original and still the best!
When a virus leaks from a top-secret facility, turning all resident researchers into ravenous zombies and their lab animals into mutated hounds from hell, the government sends in an elite military task force to contain the outbreak. Alice (Milla Jovovich) and Rain (Michelle Rodriguez) are charged with leading the mission. But they only have three hours before the pathogen becomes airborne and infects the world.
Resident Evil has style, blood, and a hot chick.
Resident Evil - Extinction (2007) ***
In the final installment of the Resident Evil series, Milla Jovovich returns as zombie-killing soldier Alice, who's left to roam the ruins of Las Vegas with a small band of survivors when a string of viral outbreaks nearly wipes out humankind. Alice has always been obsessed with bringing down the Umbrella Corp. but now must battle the undead -- and her extinction. Oded Fehr, Mike Epps, Ali Larter and rhythm-and-blues singer Ashanti also star.
The Return of the Living Dead (1985) *****
The freshly risen undead are ready to party in this horror-comedy that finds two employees of a medical supply company unwittingly releasing several zombies from cylinders in which they've been trapped for years. Soon, the local citizenry is forced to deal with a large-scale zombie epidemic as the nasty, brain-eating creatures go on a rampage -- hungry as ever and eager to make up for lost time! Dan O'Bannon (creator of the Alien franchise) directs.
(Easily one of my personal favorite zombie movies of ALL TIME!!!)
Return of the Living Dead 4-Necropolis (2005) **
Life is pretty normal for high schoolers Julian (John Keefe) and Zeke (Elvin Dandel) until Julian's Uncle Charles (Peter Coyote), who conducts experiments for the evil Hybratech Corp. to re-animate the dead, brings a little bit of his work home with him. Things really get out of hand, however, when Julian discovers that his uncle's favorite test subjects are none other than his parents! Plenty of campy zombie zaniness ensues.
Return of Living Dead 5 (2005) **
Yep-- they keep makin' 'em.
Taking the Living Dead franchise another step further, this campy sequel finds the survivors of the Necropolis reviving bad habits and snooping around Uncle Charles's experiments. When they uncover a container filled with a substance called Trioxyn-5, they assume it must be safe and start selling it as a party drug. But when a Halloween rave transforms hundreds of Trioxyn-5 users into flesh-eating zombies, the scene gets way out of hand.

The Serpent and the Rainbow ****
Based on a TRUE story!
Want to know alot more about how real Zombie culture began-- this is the movie for you.
Shaun of the Dead (2004) *****
(A Classic!!!)
Thirty-something slacker Shaun (Simon Pegg) has no clue what to do with his life or with his relationship with his girlfriend, Liz (Kate Ashfield). But motivation comes in the form of a freak zombie attack that has once-ordinary citizens terrorizing the streets of London. With support from his well-meaning best mate (Nick Frost), Shaun acts quickly to save Liz and his mother (Penelope Wilton) from danger. But is it simply too late for heroics?
(See how weapons used in this flick stack up with weapons used in other Zombie flicks)
T
Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (1995) ***
Many have argued that this is not a zombie movie. There have been many discussions on this site regarding what constitutes a zombie movie (Read Here!) For all intents and purposes this feels like a zombie movie, hits pretty much all the zombie attributes-- and is creepy as hell!
A wanderer who goes by the name of Brayker (William Sadler) holds the last of seven keys that hold the power to eliminate evil and protect the world from darkness in this rousing horror flick. The evil Collector (Billy Zane), however, possesses the other six. Anxious to hold the final key, the Collector assembles a team of walking dead to take out Brayker, Jeryline (Jada Pinkett Smith) and the other residents of a rundown boarding house.
Technically a "demon movie"-- but the visceral experience is all zombie -- something is gonna eat you alive right around the corner.
Tormented (2009) ***
Sweet Justine (Tuppence Middleton) starts hanging out with hunky Alexis (Dimitri Leonidas), only to learn that he and his cool pals share a dark secret that led to the suicide of unpopular classmate Darren (Calvin Dean). Now, Darren is back from the grave, and it's his turn to torment his tormentors. Hell hath no fury like an asthmatic nerd scorned in this scary British teen horror, also starring Alex Pettyfer and April Pearson.
Trail of the Screaming Forehead (2007) **
An attribute of zombie flicks is the loss of personal control of your body, as it seeks trouble. We're throwing this one in. Goofy, to say the least.
Larry Blamire's outrageous parody of 1950s no-budget horror films concerns an army of disembodied alien foreheads that attach to the brows of humans -- and then take control of all their thoughts and actions. The invading foreheads take over the local population, and the bizarre attacks come to the attention of Dr. Bexter (Fay Masterson), a medical expert who's developed a unique compound called "foreheadazine," which just makes matters worse.
U
Under the Mountain (2009) ***
Teenage twins Rachel (Sophie McBride) and Theo (Tom Cameron) discover the Wilberforces, ancient shape-shifting zombie-like fiends that live under a ring of extinct volcanoes in Auckland, New Zealand. Now the siblings must revive their special shared powers to destroy the evil creatures. Mysterious Mr. Jones (Sam Neill) and the twins' older cousin Ricky (Leon Wadham) help out in this fantasy adventure directed by Jonathan King.
Under The Mountain was an official selection at the 2009 Toronto Film Festival.
Urban Legends: Bloody Mary (2005) **
Misfit teen Mary Bonner (Lillith Fields) ends up dead at the hands of her jock date after a 1969 Salt Lake City homecoming dance. Fast-forward 30 years: On a dare, three high school girls utter an incantation, unwittingly unleashing Mary's spirit -- and they promptly disappear. Next thing you know, some gruesome urban legends become mortal realities in this direct-to-video horror flick helmed by Mary Lambert.
V-W-X-Y
Walking Dead (Season 1) *****
Sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes awakens from a coma to discover the world plagued by zombies and small bands of human survivors forced into small, fiercely protective groups. Falling back on his old job, Rick sets out to lead mankind out of darkness.
Absolutely seat of your pants action!!! Easily one of the best shows on TV today!!! Bar none.
Woke Up Dead (2010) ***
This Web series recounts the story of loser Drex Greene, who wakes up dead after accepting a pill from a mysterious stranger. With the help of his roommate, Matt, and med student Cassie, Drex aims to discover why he's turning into a zombie.
Z
Zombie Diaries (2006) ****
In the not-too-distant future, a mysterious plague has spread to every corner of the planet. Once it kills, the virus reanimates the dead, transforming them into flesh-eating zombies. This film reveals the terror through the eyes of its witnesses. Video cameras from a documentary film crew, a couple fleeing London (ground zero for the virus) and a band of survivors holed up in a barn capture the relentless zombie attack as it happens.
What "Diary of the Dead" (from Romero, listed elsewhere) should have been.
Zombie Honeymoon (2005) **
Newlyweds Danny (Graham Sibley) and Denise (Tracy Coogan) find their honeymoon cut short when a hideous sea monster kills the recent bridegroom. But, desperately in love with his wife, Danny returns from the grave as a flesh-eating zombie. The couple soon learns that marriage is all about compromises, with Denise trying to adjust to life with an undead husband and Danny trying to control his ghoulish appetite. Until death do us part, indeed.
Zombies Zombies Zombies (2008) **
When an unorthodox drug experiment conducted by a mad scientist transforms the residents of a small town into flesh-eating zombies, a motley crew of exotic dancers, pimps, hookers and johns are forced to take refuge inside a seedy strip club. Helmed by first-time filmmaker Jason Murphy, this zany, tongue-in-cheek horror-thriller stars FHM model Jessica Barton and Playboy Playmate Hollie Winnard.
You're gonna get what you expect.

A
Aaah! Zombies!! (2007) **Finally, a film emerges with the courage to tell a zombie story from the perspective of the undead themselves. Wasting Away focuses sympathetically on a group of zombies just beginning to grasp the implications of their horrific new existence. Writer-director Matthew Kohnen's comedic nightmare combines wit and absurdity in its novel approach to the zombie genre, revealing the suffering of a neglected monster minority.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? That they called it "Aaaah Zombies" so that they would get to the top of a list.
Awaken the Dead (2007) **Worlds collide when a murderer turned priest and a former prostitute find themselves trapped in a safe house while those outside succumb to a virus that's transforming the city's inhabitants into the living dead. Drawn to the house by a mysterious letter, the priest must now solve the missive's riddle if he and his companion are to survive. Gary Kohn, Lindsey Morris, Nate Witty and Michael Robert Nyman co-star.
B
Black Death (2010) **Sean Bean stars in this historically rooted horror-thriller as Ulric, a church-appointed knight in the age of the Bubonic Plague's first wave who's tasked with investigating rumors of a woman (Carice van Houten) who can bring the dead back to life. A young monk (Eddie Redmayne) named Osmund is aiding Ulric on his quest to root out the necromancer -- and to determine whether or not she has ties to Satan.
Black Sheep (2006) ***On a quiet New Zealand ranch, a genetic experiment has gone horribly wrong, transforming a calm flock of sheep into killers hungry for human blood in this outrageous comic gore-fest. Those bitten become ravenous were-sheep. As the body count rises, a desperate handful of outnumbered survivors take a last stand against the ovine onslaught. Who will live, and who will be the next victim of the vicious killer sheep?

NEW
Blubberella (2011) **In this gleefully low-rent action-comedy, hefty half-vampire Blubberella sets her always-ravenous sights on a Nazi leader who's concocting a diabolical plan: to create an army of undead soldiers to help his Führer conquer the globe.
C
Cabin Fever (2002) ****Five college friends head off to the woods for a weekend of drinking, partying and fooling around. But as they sit at their campfire the first night, a blood-soaked hermit with a flesh-eating virus approaches them. They shoo him away, but the hapless kids start to catch the bug, and paranoia and hostility run rampant. Meanwhile, the locals slowly learn that they've got the bug, too. Eli Roth (Hostel) directs.
As I've said, a flesh eater is a flesh eater. Try duking that out with a vegan!
NEW
Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever (2009) **It's back: The flesh-eating virus that decimated a cabin full of coeds is on the loose again. This time around, a high school prom is ground zero for the epidemic in this horror sequel directed by Ti West. Thanks to a local stream being contaminated during the first outbreak, the bottled water being distributed at the high school dance is causing the unwitting students to break out in ghastly blisters and sores.
Cheezy Horror Trailers: Vol. 1 (2006) ***Want something a little lighter, but not lighter on the gore?
Buckets of blood and legions of undead are found in this collection of over-the-top trailers for some of the cheesiest horror flicks ever made. Among the low-budget (lowbrow) gems in the collection are trailers for Curse of the Undead, Doctor Jekyll and Sister Hyde, Inn of the Damned, Abby and Eaten Alive. Also included are Horrors of the Black Museum, Seizure, The Sinful Dead, The House on Haunted Hill, Dr. Phibes, The Children and more.
The Children (2008) ***It's a classic English Christmas in the countryside -- snow on the ground, turkey in the oven, the laughter of frolicking children -- until the fun and games take a dark and deadly turn. Is something in the woods spurring the kids to murder? And why are grown-ups always the last to notice when things go horribly awry? There are no easy answers in this nasty little horror flick, but you'll never see Christmas the same way again.
You brought them into this world-- they're gonna take you out. They're pasty-faced, dead-eyed creatures that just want a dead-time story...
D
Dawn of the Dead (2004) ****Based on the 1978 George Romero gore classic, (and directed by Zack Snyder -- "300", "Sucker Punch", "The Watchmen") this horror remake takes place in the wake of a plague as the United States is overrun by millions of corpses who walk the earth as cannibalistic zombies. A small group of survivors, including a nurse (Sarah Polley) and a police officer (Ving Rhames), try to find shelter within a massive shopping mall. But the zombies have a kind of sense memory and start arriving -- in droves -- for a shopping spree.
(Awesome Remake!!! -- Read OUR review of this film here!)
The Devil's Rejects (2005) **Rob zombie's followup to "House of a Thousand Corpses." Does not have the grit of the first film-- but it does have Sid Haig. He would really be your worst nightmare if you're lost on an old country road, and he's your only help.
Enlisting the aid of two vigilante brothers, Texas sheriff John Wydell (William Forsythe) seeks vengeance against his brother's creepy murderers in this Western-flavored sequel to writer-director Rob Zombie's bloody House of 1,000 Corpses. With payback in mind, the posse heads out to the Firefly homestead to take down Otis (Bill Moseley), Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie), Tiny (Matthew McGrorey) and Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) once and for all.
Diary of the Dead (2007) ****George A. Romero
While filming a low-budget horror film, Jason (Joshua Close) and his film school friends hear news reports of zombie sightings. As the living dead close in on the film crew, Jason seizes the opportunity to add real blood and guts to his movie. Meanwhile the American government promises to stop the violent uprising, but the relentless zombies gain an advantage by wiping out all forms of communication with the outside world.

DIEner (20101) **Slaying strangers in a lonesome country diner becomes hazardous duty for a roving serial killer after his first victims come back to life as zombies who are eager to make a meal of him and his next intended targets. Josh Grote plays the friendly and engaging murderer, Ken, in a well-crafted indie gore fest that extracts new laughs from classic genre stereotypes -- including a bumbling country sheriff (Larry Purtrell) who wanders into the mayhem.
Doghouse (2009) ***Six guys hell-bent on having a raucous weekend away from wives and lovers arrive in the town of Moodley. But something's odd about this quaint hamlet. Where are the men? And why do all the women look like they're thirsting for blood? The poor blokes soon discover that half the population has been wiped out by the same virus-infected, man-hating cannibals terrorizing them. Stephen Graham, Danny Dyer, Noel Clarke and Lee Ingleby star.
Doomsday (2008) ***When a deadly viral epidemic breaks out in present-day Britain, killing hundreds of thousands of people, the government quarantines the infected behind a walled city -- only to be confronted with a resurgence of the disease 30 years in the future. In the vein of Mad Max and 28 Days Later, this morality tale veiled as a sci-fi hypothetical features enough action, combat and suspense to keep audiences wondering, "What if?"
F-G
Flight of the Living Dead (2007) ***During a transatlanic flight, a corpse emerges from the cargo hold and lays waste to the passengers, turning them into zombies. A handful of travelers try to stop the ghoulish horde, but how do you fight the undead at 30,000 feet above the ocean? The living passengers get wildly creative in this wickedly funny, fabulously bloody gore fest written and directed by Scott Thomas and starring David Chisum, Kristen Kerr, Dale Midkiff and Sarah Laine.
We watched this, and loved it!!! A couple of stumbles (especially the ending), all in all-- a good time was had.

House of the Dead (2003) **On an island off the coast of Florida, a college rave party is in full swing. But the kids' X-laced escapades are soon interrupted by zombies and monsters that attack them on the ground, from the air and in the sea. Seems the freaks are ruled by an ancient ghoul named Castillo, who once upon a time searched for a fountain of youth and eventually found it -- but at a hideous price.
House of 1,000 Corpses (2003) ***A group of couples stops for a gas fill-up when they happen upon Spaulding's
Museum of Monsters and Madmen. Initially intrigued to hear about Dr. Satan,
the unsuspecting kids soon become a sick family's source of torturous and
murderous fun. Set in 1977 as a gory throwback to the blood-fests of the 1970s,
writer-director Rob Zombie's over-the-top horror flick stars Sid Haig.
This movie, by Rob Zombie, was a cult classic for years before it was even released-- with no studio willing to release. My zombie friends and I waited those years to see it. Did it live up to our expectations? Well, let's just say-- it lived up to the gore factor. There were a number of awesome photographed scenes, showing Zombie's flair for the dramatic, including an assassination that just goes on and on-- awesome!
Horror Planet (1981) *Investigating a distant planet, a group of interstellar explorers stumbles across a bizarre alien with breeding on its mind. To that end, it assaults team member Sandy (Judy Geeson), leaving her pregnant. Now, driven by the voracious needs of her unborn "child," Sandy develops an insatiable craving for her colleagues' flesh. With a ferocity only a mother protecting her young could muster, Sandy cannibalizes her crew with bloody abandon.

NEW
Iron Man (1994) Seasons 1-2 ****Iron Man is back in this animated series that aired from 1994 to 1996 as part of the "Marvel Action Hour." There's action right out of the gate when Iron Man goes up against the Mandarin and a deadly zombie army.
Infection (The Invasion Begins) (2010) *When convicted killer Deke Evans (Bryan Brewer) returns home after serving his sentence, he discovers that his once-peaceful town is now the epicenter of a plague that's morphing everyday citizens into flesh-hungry zombies. As Deke becomes a reluctant hero in the fight against the undead, a reporter sniffs out the truth that cryptic government agencies will do anything to hide. Howard Wexler directs this sci-fi thriller.
It's Alive (2008) ***While not exactly a zombie movie, it is a film about a baby that eats people. A zombie in training? A zombie-wanna-be?
For new mom Lenore (Bijou Phillips), maternal bliss soon turns to horror when she discovers her little bundle of joy is a natural born killer who leaves a trail of dead in his tiny wake. As the death toll mounts, the doting mom can stay in denial for only so long. James Murray co-stars as the proud papa in director Josef Rusnak's chilling remake of Larry Cohen's 1974 cult horror hit.
Jennifer's Body (2009) ***Once again, this movie walks on the fringe of zombie-dom. Starring ultra-hot Megan Fox as Jennifer, we see the gradual transformation of her into a real man-eater. Is that zombie-ism, cannibalism, demon-ism...?
After a supernatural romp with a satanic emo band, hot cheerleader Jennifer (Megan Fox) is transformed into a demon with an insatiable appetite for high school boys. Now, it's up to Jennifer's BFF, Needy (Amanda Seyfried), to protect the guys from the bloodthirsty man-eater. Penned by Diablo Cody (Juno), this one-of-a-kind horror comedy co-stars Adam Brody as the devil-worshipping band's lead singer.
This is technically a "demon movie"-- but the visceral experience is all zombie .
Johnny Sunshine (2008) **In a world overrun by zombies, drugs and violence, entertainment is hard to come by. Enter Johnny Sunshine (Shey Bland), the beautiful yet cold-blooded assassin whose zombie-killing exploits are the basis for the world's most popular reality television show. When she discovers that her double-crossing producer has arranged to have her taken out, Johnny decides it's time to take her world-famous murdering skills behind the scenes.
K-L
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) **An alien band of killer clowns descends from the cosmos to harvest scores of small-town victims, cocooning their prey in cotton candy to eat later. With the extraterrestrials disguised as simple circus workers, the authorities don't suspect a thing. But the joke is on the clowns when two streetwise teens (Grant Cramer and Suzanne Snyder), armed with an ice cream truck, do battle to save their friends in this cult favorite.
These are not your friendly neighborhood walking dead-- they are clowns. From outer space. Who want to eat you. We have decided that eating people is a prerequisite for a zombie flick. Not a cannibal. Any other-worldly, government created, supernatural people-eating-thing.
And beside, Clowns (especially those spelled with the letter "K") scare the bejesus outta us!
Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1974) Seasons 1 ***Independent News Service reporter Carl Kolchak (Darren McGavin) investigates the supernatural in this 1970s series. Kolchak has his work cut out for him as he tracks down Jack the Ripper, aliens, zombies, werewolves, vengeful spooks, Satanic dogs and a boogeyman from the Louisiana bogs. Guest stars include Richard Kiel, Phil Silvers, Keenan Wynn, Jamie Farr, Bernie Kopell, Tom Skerritt, Scatman Crothers, Dick Van Patten and Erik Estrada.
Lifeforce (1985) ***In director Tobe Hooper's stylized sci-fi horror flick, American and British astronauts on a joint mission exploring an alien spacecraft (concealed in Halley's Comet gaseous tail) discover that the vessel contains several seemingly human bodies. But after they're brought back to Earth, they come alive and start turning Londoners into zombies -- leaving only surviving astronaut Tom Carlsen (Steve Railsback) to save the planet.
Not your standard zombie flick. Want something different? This will do it.
M
Mutant Vampire Zombies from the 'Hood! (2008) **
When a strange cosmic event turns the citizens of Los Angeles into blood-drinking, flesh-eating, sex-starved zombies, a handful of cops and gang members form an unlikely alliance to fend off the insatiable undead. Soon the motley crew must make their way to a compound up the coast, where a scientist and his sexy daughter may hold the key to survival. C. Thomas Howell stars in this indie horror-comedy.
N
Night of the Demons (2009) ***When she set out to throw the ultimate Halloween party, Angela Feld (Shannon Elizabeth) picked the spookiest site she could find: the rumored-to-be-cursed Broussard Mansion. But by "ultimate," she didn't mean for it to be her last. Still, thanks to gates that have inexplicably locked, Angela and her friends (Edward Furlong, Monica Keena, Bobbi Sue Luther, John F. Beach, Michael Copon and Diora Baird) are now trapped inside with no way out.
If we can allow "Jennifer's Body" into the list, we can allow "Night of the Demons." As we said, this is technically a "demon movie"-- but the visceral experience is all zombie .
Nightmare Alley (2010) ***This over-the-top gore anthology from Brain Damage Films features seven low-budget, high-camp horror fests complete with zombie cowpokes, repugnant neighbors, a modern-day Jack the Ripper and more. Writer-director Scarlet Fry also serves as the collection's macabre host, introducing tales that range in subject from a toy rat that's set on world domination to a rumination on the perils of online hookups.
The People Under the Stairs (1991) ***Master of horror Wes Craven brings an urban twist to the classic fairy tale in the story of Fool, a 13-year-old lad who succumbs to ghetto pressures to steal from a local house. Fool's instant karma comes in the gruesome form of the house's residents -- an insane, deformed family of murderers. The perils of latchkey kids and warnings about absentee parents are the subtle social subtext as Fool and other victims try to escape the deadly home.
Yep-- there are flesh-eating zombies in that house. A whole mess of 'em in one house!
Phantasm II (1988) ***In this 1980s sequel to a '70s cult classic, Mike (James LeGros) -- the teen hero of the earlier film -- has just been released from a mental hospital and is determined to resume his quest to destroy grave-robbing mortician, the Tall Man (Angus Scrimm). Enlisting the aid of his old pal, Reggie (Reggie Bannister), Mike must destroy the silver sphere-wielding menace before he harms the mysterious girl who's been appearing in Mike's dreams.
Prince of Darkness (1987) ***A cylinder of mysterious, green liquid is found in an abandoned church. It may contain the ultimate evil: an ancient iniquity that longs to escape. Several physicists try to comprehend what's happening and race to save the world, even as they're being turned into zombies one by one. Director John Carpenter fills Prince of Darkness with his trademark mix of horror and humor.
R
.REC *****Trapped in a quarantined Barcelona apartment building with residents, firefighters and a growing horde of ravenous zombies, television reporter Angela (Manuela Velasco) and her cameraman, Pablo, record brutal deaths and terrifying events while trying to stay alive. Filmed entirely from unseen Pablo's point of view, this tension-filled Spanish horror film thrills viewers with its aggressive action. Paco Plaza and Jaume Balagueró direct.
This film inspired Hollywood's version, "Quarantine." This one is FAR superior, a hundred times creepier-- you will love it! Our recommendation.
Resident Evil (Original) (2002) *****The original and still the best!
When a virus leaks from a top-secret facility, turning all resident researchers into ravenous zombies and their lab animals into mutated hounds from hell, the government sends in an elite military task force to contain the outbreak. Alice (Milla Jovovich) and Rain (Michelle Rodriguez) are charged with leading the mission. But they only have three hours before the pathogen becomes airborne and infects the world.
Resident Evil has style, blood, and a hot chick.
Resident Evil - Extinction (2007) ***In the final installment of the Resident Evil series, Milla Jovovich returns as zombie-killing soldier Alice, who's left to roam the ruins of Las Vegas with a small band of survivors when a string of viral outbreaks nearly wipes out humankind. Alice has always been obsessed with bringing down the Umbrella Corp. but now must battle the undead -- and her extinction. Oded Fehr, Mike Epps, Ali Larter and rhythm-and-blues singer Ashanti also star.
The Return of the Living Dead (1985) *****The freshly risen undead are ready to party in this horror-comedy that finds two employees of a medical supply company unwittingly releasing several zombies from cylinders in which they've been trapped for years. Soon, the local citizenry is forced to deal with a large-scale zombie epidemic as the nasty, brain-eating creatures go on a rampage -- hungry as ever and eager to make up for lost time! Dan O'Bannon (creator of the Alien franchise) directs.
(Easily one of my personal favorite zombie movies of ALL TIME!!!)
Return of the Living Dead 4-Necropolis (2005) **Life is pretty normal for high schoolers Julian (John Keefe) and Zeke (Elvin Dandel) until Julian's Uncle Charles (Peter Coyote), who conducts experiments for the evil Hybratech Corp. to re-animate the dead, brings a little bit of his work home with him. Things really get out of hand, however, when Julian discovers that his uncle's favorite test subjects are none other than his parents! Plenty of campy zombie zaniness ensues.
Return of Living Dead 5 (2005) **Yep-- they keep makin' 'em.
Taking the Living Dead franchise another step further, this campy sequel finds the survivors of the Necropolis reviving bad habits and snooping around Uncle Charles's experiments. When they uncover a container filled with a substance called Trioxyn-5, they assume it must be safe and start selling it as a party drug. But when a Halloween rave transforms hundreds of Trioxyn-5 users into flesh-eating zombies, the scene gets way out of hand.
S
The Serpent and the Rainbow ****Based on a TRUE story!
Anthropologist Dennis Alan (Bill Pullman) goes to Haiti in search of a mysterious voodoo powder that turns the living into semi-conscious zombies. But as Alan comes closer to unlocking the mystical drug, natives turn his life into a nightmare. He enlists the help of a doctor (Cathy Tyson), but their smarts are hardly a match for the black magic they're up against. Horror master Wes Craven directs this creepy tale based on a novel by Wade Davis.
Want to know alot more about how real Zombie culture began-- this is the movie for you.
Shaun of the Dead (2004) *****(A Classic!!!)
Thirty-something slacker Shaun (Simon Pegg) has no clue what to do with his life or with his relationship with his girlfriend, Liz (Kate Ashfield). But motivation comes in the form of a freak zombie attack that has once-ordinary citizens terrorizing the streets of London. With support from his well-meaning best mate (Nick Frost), Shaun acts quickly to save Liz and his mother (Penelope Wilton) from danger. But is it simply too late for heroics?
(See how weapons used in this flick stack up with weapons used in other Zombie flicks)
T
Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (1995) ***Many have argued that this is not a zombie movie. There have been many discussions on this site regarding what constitutes a zombie movie (Read Here!) For all intents and purposes this feels like a zombie movie, hits pretty much all the zombie attributes-- and is creepy as hell!
A wanderer who goes by the name of Brayker (William Sadler) holds the last of seven keys that hold the power to eliminate evil and protect the world from darkness in this rousing horror flick. The evil Collector (Billy Zane), however, possesses the other six. Anxious to hold the final key, the Collector assembles a team of walking dead to take out Brayker, Jeryline (Jada Pinkett Smith) and the other residents of a rundown boarding house.
