Trailer - 'Zombie Apocalypse: Redemption'

BD Live 'Survival of the Dead' commentary track from Magnolia

Magnolia Home Entertainment released its very first feature commentary earmarked and created exclusively for BD Live today as a part of their latest release Survival of the Dead, now available on Blu-ray and DVD. Longtime friends George A. Romero and Steve ‘Uncle Creepy’ Barton chat about the film, the horror genre, and life in general. A comfortable and hilarious commentary, the feature plays out like two friends catching up and also represents a side of the George that few fans have ever seen.

Survival of the Dead is the newest film from George A. Romero and picks up where Diary of the Dead leaves off – in a nightmarish world where humans are the minority and zombies rule. Off the coast of Delaware sits cozy Plum Island where two families have been feuding for generations. The O’Flynns approach the zombie plague with a shoot-to-kill attitude. The Muldoons insist that the zombies should be quarantined and kept “alive” in hopes that a solution will someday be found. What ensues is a gory and desperate struggle for survival and the search for the answer to the question: Can the living ever exist in peace with the dead?

The two-disc Survival of the Dead Ultimate Undead Edition DVD and single disc Blu-ray are bursting with bonus features that take viewers deeper into the world of the living dead, including the “Walking After Midnight” documentary, interviews with Romero, an audio commentary and much more and will be available for the suggested retail price of $29.98 each. The film also will be available as a standard edition DVD for the suggested retail price of $26.98.

Accessible through the Blu-ray format only, the feature commentary is available via download through BD Live.

In honor of 'Tokyo Zombie'

Download Mail Order Zombie: Episode 135 here!

Episode 135 of Mail Order Zombie is BONUS-SIZED! For the final week of The Far East Feast, Brother D reviews the 2005 movie 東京ゾンビ, also known as Tokyo Zombie from director Sakichi Sato, and he’s not doing it alone. In addition to spilling the latest zombie news, Need-a-Nickname Scott joins him for a discussion of this film. Brother D will also take a look at the recent release Zombie Women of Satan from directors Steve O’Brien and Warren Speed. ZomBart attended the recent Monster Mania convention last weekend, and calls in with a running commentary on the event, and Steve and Gord from the BoneBat Show stop by to talk about their upcoming event, the BoneBat Comedy of Horrors Film Fest. Miss Bren – who’s still allowed on the show despite her encouraging people to sing the Bananapants song(!) – joins Brother D for the Feedback Discussion, which fortunately includes more than just the Bananapants songs. It has the more UNDEAD KARAOKE!

'The Return of the Living Dead' coming to Blu-ray

On September 14th, Twentieth Century Fox and MGM Home Entertainment is releasing The Return of the Living Dead as a new Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the cemetery, those brain-eating zombies are back and hungry for more tasty mortals. A fiendish mix of outrageous humor and heart-stopping terror, The Return of the Living Dead is a “veritable smorgasbord of fun” (LA Herald-Examiner) filled with skin-crawling jolts, eye-popping visuals and relentless surprise. On his first day on the job at an army surplus store, poor Freddy unwittingly releases nerve gas from a secret U.S. military canister, unleashing an unbelievable terror. The gas re-animates a corps of corpses, who arise from their graves with a ravenous hunger for human brains. Luckily for those carnivorous cadavers, there is a group of partying teens nearby, just waiting to be eaten!

The Official Walking Dead Trailer

AMC TV has released the trailer for The Walking Dead . . .




The Walking Dead will premiere on Halloween night, Sun., Oct. 31 at 10PM 9C. The Sunday night series will debut with a 90-minute premiere episode. Subsequent episodes will be one-hour long presentations.

Coffin Nail Neal's Undead Karaoke - A Dead Man's Arm

"A Dead Man's Arm" (to the tune of "A Dead Man's Gun" by Ashtar Command from the Red Dead Redemption soundtrack)

Your chewing on
A dead man's arm and you're
Ripping out a bite
Your pulse is gone,
And your brain is wrong
And you shouldn't be moving tonight
And you're not gonna run 'cause your limbs are dad
And you not gonna run 'cause you're living dead
You know you've crawled from you're grave and you're not going to save
Any leftovers tonight
They've given you a reason to bite

And all the folks you've been chasing
Are bound to die tonight
For all the plans they've been making
Are bound to fail tonight
Your chewing on
A dead man's arm and you're
Ripping out a bite
Your pulse is gone,
And your brain is wrong
And you shouldn't be moving tonight
And you're not gonna run 'cause your limbs are dad
And you not gonna run 'cause you're living dead
You know you've crawled from you're grave and you're not going to save
Any leftovers tonight
They've given you a reason to bite

And all the folks you've been chasing
Are bound to die tonight
For all the plans they've been making
Are bound to fail tonight
