Zombie button Originally uploaded by
CopieGirl. Leave it to the Sci-Fi Channel to make my Halloween this weekend. That's right, I somehow survived, brain intact (though a little loopy), eight hours of zombie movies, a full-blown gore fest including Day of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead 3, RTOLD 4: Necropolis; and RTOLD 5: Rave to the Grave.
What to like:
Badass zombie chick with glass and spike piercings and ripped fishnets (RTOLD 3)
Vegetarian turned zombie wearing "Eating meat kills" (or something like that) t-shirt while devouring brains (RTOLD 5)
Original RTOLD zombie hitch-hiking along highway with "Rave or Bust" sign (RTOLD 5)
Zombie taking a chunk out of a cheerleader's ass (RTOLD 5).
What not to like:
Zombies do not carry on conversations, nor do they throw punches
Peter Coyote freaks me out
Whiney-ass male leads
Marketing Trioxin-5 as a hallucinogenic called Z. Come on!
Needless to say, these movies were so hysterical I don't think zombies will be scaring me any time soon.
Likewise, since Child's Play was on Thursday night, the boy and I knocked back a few brews, searched for, found (on OnDemand) and watched Child's Play 3, Bride of Chucky (I love Jennifer Tily) and Seed of Chucky (wicked stupid, but I laughed my ass off) Friday night. I can't believe I used to be afraid of Chucky when I was a kid.
