At the Zombie Dance, nobody moves

At the Zombie Dance

Here's Ben and Betty

They tap their toes

But they don't get sweaty

They don't give a damn

They're done dead already!

Yup, that's me having a billboard time watching Zombie movies tonight, on account of just buying the new Romero Zombie outing Diary Of The Dead.

I'm no fan of splatter or gore movies, but Romero's zombie movies always offer more. There's usually some sort of social commentary, (in some of his movies you wonder just who is the bad guys, flesh eating zombies or the hapless humans). And the slow moving zombies are great comedic yet sinister cinematic subject matter.

I loved the recent Land Of The Dead, though it wasn't well received. Day Of The Dead is just a horrible movie, too bleak and gory for even a zombie flick, and Night Of The Living Dead is a classic of its kind. Dawn Of The Dead is my favourite though. The images of zombies returning to the shopping center because of some still processing cluster of memory cells is haunting and poignant I suppose.

So, I'm settling down for a night of good wholesome flesh eating fun, with the undead

I'm gonna come to Droitwich to see if it's as bad as you say.
I bought a PA system from Droitwich. I still use it.
