Completist Zombie Movie Night




The last zombie night was Lucio Fulci Night. This one will fill the gaps between Dawn and Land of the Dead and Zombi 2 and 4: After Death that have been bothering me more than when I can't wash my hands seven times before leaving for work.

Actually, Lucio Fulci started directing his sequel to Zombi 2 but unfortunately had a stroke. But every coin has a silver side because that stroke resulted in the bumbling duo of Bruno Mattei and Claudio Fragasso being brought in. The two of Strike Commando and Rats: Night of Terror fame. Zombi 3 will connect us to Zombie 4 (yes, all of the sudden with an E now) which we watched with the racist dog movie White Dog. It does leave Zombie 5: Killing Birds out in the cold. I considered showing that one with Birdemic, which would have made it a more thematic night. Then we would truly be completing the series. Crap, why didn't I do that? Oh, yeah, because Desperation Rising is awesome:



Dads, before going on a murder spree take some time out to listen to your son's new rap.

Day of the Dead may be Romero's talkiest zombie movie but it also has the best make-up of any zombie movie and the best title card. Look at it up there! Does someone want to buy me the action figure of that guy? His name is Dr. Tongue:



Right before his appearance a guy says "hello" a lot, something the Gorillaz took a liking to:



Here's what happened last week:
