Graveyard Alive: A Zombie Nurse in Love - Here's an odd Canadian b-flick that emulates the monster movies of the fifties and sixties. After being bitten by a patient - a man with an axe stuck in his head - the world's frumpiest nurse finally begins to flower. Unfortunately she discovers that she's also turning into a zombie with a hunger for human flesh! Can she be stopped before her romantic trysts create more of the undead? Plays out better than it sounds, but still only middling fare - the film is too concerned with artifice at times to be totally successful (though it does pick up at the end as an unlikely heroine fights to save the day). Weird note: this was apparently shot as a silent film, but was then dubbed in post production.

Forgot to mention earlier that I just read Ultimate Fantastic Four 30-32, a three-issue story arc that chronicles the fate of the other-dimensional, zombified Fantastic Four (who chow down on many the Baxter Building scientist before being dispatched by...well, that'll have to be a surprise). You also get to see the Human Torch give birth to a Lovecraftian God!

Day of the Dead - Revisited George Romero's third zombie opus. This isn't on par with Night and Dawn, but it's still an above average zombie flick (albeit with some clunky dialogue and a spotty score).

Boy Eats Girl - Amiable Irish teen zombie comedy (there's a sub genre for ya) about a guy who just can't get up enough nerve to ask out the girl he loves. Then he's accidentally killed and his mother revives him with a voodoo reanimation spell. Unfortunately something goes wrong and he finds himself hungering for human flesh - not to mention spreading a plague of zombies after biting the school bully! No classic by any stretch of the imagination, but enjoyable if you're in the mood for something silly. At the very least it answers the age old question of who would win in a fight between zombies and a tractor decked out with nasty earth-moving implements!

I don't know but it is a good creepy film at least worth a rental and unlike Clark's previous film (Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things) it actually has some fairly competent acting and scenes that truly stand out as being unusual for the time......yeah, kill that barking ratdog!

I saw Deathdream for the first time last year. The cheap look really works in its favor. I second the "worth a rent" for everybody replying to this thread. I plan to buy it for next viewing. I'd thought about getting Children Shouldn't... as well.

I got this in a multi-set. I thought it was real funny (and PIC to boot). Worth an accational look.

I tried to find some not mentioned in your list. I plan to read this whole thread later....

House. Big tall zombie.
House 2. I don't remember much about it.
Creepshow. Savini zombies.
Re-animator. Here kitty, kitty!
Night of the Comet. Chasing 80s chicks!
Hysterical. "What difference does it make". Love the eyebrows!!
I Bury the Living. Everyone should see this. Great film!
Messiah of Evil. Cheese! But fun cheese. Kind of creepy too.
Pet Sematary. Bad movie that should be featured on MST4K if they have a MST4K someday.

Welcome to the thread Radioman! Hope to see some more posts from you.

I've seen all from your list with the exception of Messiah of Evil - might have to check that one out. I've got some stuff in my Netflix queue that I haven't seen and I'll be revisiting some of the classics so look for more additions soon!

Hey all, I recently watched "I,Zombie" released under Fangoria's imprint. I'd never heard of it and actually still haven't other than owning it. I got it at a pawn shop and gave it a spin. I thought it was really cool. It's about a guy, (a writer I think), who gets bitten and documents his own downward spiral into the undead. It's pretty introspective for the most part, but I think that helps make the gory parts that appear in that film more realistic and effective. It's also got an interesting commentary track that reveals a lot about the trials and tribulations of low budget film making. I'd say it's one of the better blind buys I've made. If I was going to rate it I'd give it a B+. Not one of the all time greats, but effective and interesting.

I, Zombie should be coming from Netflix this week.

[Matt-Z]

I'll be interested to hear how you like it.

I, Zombie is weird ...
