The Dead have waited. The day has come. Day Of The Dead '85 The third film in Romero's Dead series. Military and scientists clash underground as the undead rule above ground. Bub(One of my favorite movie zombies) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So3wvWZ8EvM&feature=related Ted Fisher: "What's he trying to prove? I once saw one of those things sitting behind the wheel of a car in D.C. trying to drive down Independence Avenue. It didn't make me want to be its friend." Sarah: "No, it isn't what this one does, but what he doesn't do! He doesn't get excited or agitated when Logan enters the room! He doesn't see Logan as..." Ted Fisher: "Lunch." Sarah: "Dinner." Ted Fisher: "Breakfast." The military and the scientists clashing(Does contain language) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cSUdh1KBoU Lori Cardille who plays Sarah is the daughter of Bill "Chilly Billy" Cardille who appeared in the original and remake of Night Of The Living Dead. The death of Captain Rhodes(Does contain gore) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShPsD2kKUeg&feature=related John: "He won't shoot Billy because he got no one else who knows electronics. He won't shoot me... because I'm his ride. He probably won't shoot Frankenstein because the old doc can talk him silly. But the rest of you? The rest of you better start worrying, don't you know."

One thing I just realized. In Day of the Dead we see Bub looking at a copy of Stephen King's Salem's Lot which was published in the 70's. But in Romero's Dead Universe the zombie epidemic has been around since the late 60's...so in this universe was King writing his novels while the zombies were attacking? Well, knowing how some people feel about King they would probably say he was one of the undead while writing....

They're Tobacco Chewin', Gut Chompin', Cannibal Kinfolk from Hell! Redneck Zombies '87 aka Redneck County Rape Group of city folk on an outing in the country find out the locals have all become Tobacco Chewin', Gut Chompin', Cannibal Kinfolk from Hell! after drinking moonshine made in a barrel used for toxic waste. Billy-Bob/Ellie May: "I'm going fishing!" Junior: "Got worms?" Billy-Bob/Ellie May: "Yeah but I'm going anyway." Years before Shaun of the Dead, this film had a scene which had a character act like a zombie to fool the real zombies. Lisa Dubois: [the campers smoke a joint] "Wilbur, did you treat this weed?" Wilbur: "Only with respect, baby." The title of the film was once used as an answer to a question in an 1980s edition of Trivial Pursuit, the question being "What film has the tagline 'They're Tobacco Chewin', Gut Chompin', Cannibal Kinfolk from Hell! '" Jed Clemson: "You quit your sassin' boy! I'll pulled you outta yer mother and I'll shove ya right back in!" Trailer(Contains gore!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT3CreNCsRg

Herbert West Has A Very Good Head On His Shoulders... And Another One In A Dish On His Desk Re-Animator 1985 Very loosely based on HP Lovecraft's Herbert West Re-Animator Medical student experiments with reanimation. Herbert West: "Who's going to believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow." Peter Kent, who plays the first corpse reanimated at the morgue was a longtime body-double/stand-in for Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold would come and visit Peter on the set during filming, and when the film was complete Arnold was given a special showing of the movie. Herbert West: "I must say, Dr. Hill, I'm VERY disappointed in you. You steal the secret of life and death, and here you are trysting with a bubble-headed coed. You're not even a second-rate scientist!" Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWmEReju2w0 Dan Cain: "He's dead?" Herbert West: "Not anymore."

The seven dreaded gateways to hell are concealed in seven cursed places... And from the day the gates of hell are opened, the dead will walk the earth. The Beyond 1981 aka E tu vivrai nel terrore - L'aldilà aka Seven Doors Of Death A woman discovers that the rundown Louisiana hotel she inherited is one of the doorways of Hell. Emily: "Woe be unto him who opens one of the seven gateways to Hell, because through that gateway, evil will invade the world." The zombie rampage was done at the insistence of the film's German distributors whose movie market was going through a zombie craze. Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vltPK0IfP4M Swedish rock band Europe based the song Seven Doors Hotel from their first album on this film. The lyrics are a basic retelling of the plot of the film. The song became a big hit in Japan, and is still a popular track at their live shows.

The Horde (2009) I just finished watching this action-packed French zombie movie. It all starts out with cops out for revenge. They track the gangsters responsible for the murder of their comrade in a nearly abandoned, dilapidated apartment building. As they were fighting, they realize that a zombie outbreak has broken loose and they either work together to survive or perish. The whole concept of the movie is nothing ground-breaking, but the actors were quite good and the action won't let you wink off dreamland like the other zombie movies I've been seeing recently. The characters were colorful and not the usual endearing heroes. Instead, you'll have the most unlikeable personalities in there that you'll have a hard time rooting for anyone's survival. Personally, I liked the cookie ol' soldier who thinks he's still in fighting in Vietnam. If you like guns, zombies and more guns, then this one's for you.

wanna go to college torgo? check this out... BALTIMORE – Call it Zombies 101. The University of Baltimore is offering a new class on the undead. The course is being taught by Arnold Blumberg, the author of a book on zombie movies, "Zombiemania," and the curator of Geppi's Entertainment Museum, which focuses on American pop culture. Students taking English 333 will watch 16 classic zombie films and read zombie comics. As an alternative to a final research paper they may write scripts or draw storyboards for their ideal zombie flicks. The university isn't the first to have a class on the undead. Columbia College in Chicago has offered a course on Zombies in popular media for years, and at Simpson College in Iowa students spent the spring semester writing a book on "The History of the Great Zombie War." ___ Information from: The Baltimore Sun, http://www.baltimoresun.com

I'm going back to school! The Book Of Lists: Horror listed Top 5 horror colleges, Baltimore wasn't on there so it must not have started the zombie courses when the book was published.

What zombie films have been sending you off to dreamland? Oh, crap. I knew I should have paid more attention because you will ask me the titles eventually. Sorry, my friend. I actually looked through my DVD collection to see if it's still there, but I can't find it. What I don't like, I usually ship out to friends or family who may enjoy it better than I did. Some I just found online by chance. There was one, I think which I even didn't bother finishing because the acting was so crappy, you'd think all the actors took a huge dose of laxatives before filming it.

Zombies move to Cuba in upcoming Juan of the Dead You've heard of SHAUN OF THE DEAD, now get ready for.... JUAN OF THE DEAD! That's right folks, if you thought the zombie-comedy genre was dead in the water, then you must be stupid. Because it's not. And thanks to ZOMBIELAND, it's not going away any time soon. So is this a joke? No. JUAN OF THE DEAD is the real deal. According to Variety, production companies 5ta Avenida Producciones and La Zanfona Produccione are giving Alejandro Brugues the greenlight to direct the flick, which goes a little something like this: a 40-year-old slacker named Juan notices that people are beginning to turn violent. As a zombie epidemic spreads through Havana, he decides to make a quick buck, offering to slay people's infected relatives. But as the zombie plague reaches national proportions Juan has to concentrate on his survival. For a second there, it just sounded like SHAUN--but in Havana. And I guess it still does, except for the 'kill your zombie family' business he comes up with. That's a great idea for a business. I bet Shaun is kicking himself for not thinking of that one first. Juan is set to be played by Alexis Diaz de Villegas in the film, which is set to start filming this September with a budget of $2.7M. Sure, that might seem like chump change around Hollywood, but for a Cuban production, that's kind of a big deal, so it should be interesting to see how that all pans out. Enjoy the teaser poster below, and stick around for more on JUAN OF THE DEAD as we hear it! http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=22133 Teaser 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjM4fRQNH6o Teaser 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_2GPzhAo6U&feature=related
