Mail Order Zombie: Episode 075

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 2 Jul 2009 08:41:00 GMT

Episode 75 of Mail Order Zombie is our most bedazzled yet! To celebrate Independence Day in the US, Brother D reviews the movie Uncle Sam, directed by William Lustig, and he's only reviewing one movie this week so that there's room for the jam-packed Feedback Discussion and the Zombie Aptitude Test answers from last month's ZAT question. This episode runs a bit longer than normal, and that's because in addition to the hefty Feedback, we've got a first here at Mail Order Zombie - we've got the First MOZ Roundtable featuring Brother D and a handful of regular Mail Order Zombie contributors. (Truth be told, there were some audio issues with the recording, so the Roundtable has been moved to the end of the episode. There's some great discussion and content here, but Skype and the other powers that be seemed to be interested in contribution their own hissy two cents worth as well, so please be patient with the audio quality!) The episode starts with a mini-tribute to Michael Jackson's Thriller music video, and this runs about 15 minutes, and then the show is off and running!

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 074

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 05:34:00 GMT

Brother D fought the internet while Miss Bren fought a wasp to bring you Episode 74 of Mail Order Zombie, the show devoted to zombie movies . . . and a little bit more! Events outside of Mail Order Zombie Central's control threatened to keep you from getting your MOZ fix, but a little help from the Mail Order Zombie Family helped to make this show one you can't miss! O'Day returns with the first installment in a series of MOZ Survival Tips instructing us on personal combat and the undead. Mathew from Shelbytownship, Michigan, brings two new installments of The ABCs of Zombies (and he's thrilled to be able to talk about a movie Brother D once called "not-a-zombie-movie"). And Jay Emmitt and Need-a-Nickname Scott step up to handle the news chores in this week's Zombie Beat. Of course, there are reviews this week as well - Brother D looks at the ultra independent movies Doomed to Consume, directed by Jason Stephenson, and Fast Zombies With Guns, directed by Bennie Woodell; and Miss Bren takes a break from her zombies to dive into the post-apocalyptic world of Cormac McCarthy's novel The Road in Miss Bren's Post Script. We're still taking answers for the June Zombie Aptitude Test; we need to know what you'd do if the zombie apocalypse was Return of the Living Dead-flavored, so call or write us to take part in this ZAT question. Remember Brother D mentioning the upcoming Summer Knights event this August? In this week's episode, a few more details are spilled for the Family. As always, the Feedback Discussion holds down the backhalf of the show.

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 073

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 10:43:00 GMT

There are two zombie movies floating around right now that have zombie movies fans waiting and wondering, and Mail Order Zombie has them both right here this week in Episode 73. Brother D reviews Dead Snow, directed by Tommy Wirkola, and he and Miss Bren sit down to watch Pontypool, directed by Bruce McDonald. Brother D crashes Miss Bren's Post Script with a book review of his own when he reviews the book Zombie Holocaust: How the Living Dead Devoured Pop Culture, written by David Flint and released by Plexus Publishing Limited, and two Mail Order Zombie Family members have contributions this week: Chris Toohey reviews Scott Sigler's audio story Passenger, and Mathew from Shelbytownship, Michigan, gives us another installment in his ABCs of Zombies series. Two contests have winners announced this week, and we're still accepting answers for the current Zombie Aptitude Test. The Feedback Discussion is filled with old friends, new MOZ Family Members and funny words.

'Night of the Creeps' DVD release date set

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 06:27:00 GMT

The screams of horror movie fans have finally been heard as Sony Pictures Home Entertainment unleashes the eagerly awaited 80âs horror comedy Night of the Creeps on DVD for the first time ever this October 20, 2009, featuring the Directorâs Cut of this camp classic. Fans can now relive this chillingly entertaining cult classic about a small college town ravaged by killer slugs from outer space as Writer/Director Fred Dekker intended, with the original ending and loaded with killer bonus features including over sixty minutes of all-new Behind-the-Scenes featurettes.

In this campy chiller, a college couple in 1959, see an object plummet to Earth like a meteor. The boy accidentally swallows a space-slug that shoots out. In 1986, two freshmen roam the campus and stumble across the corpse of the boy who swallowed the space-slug. Once thawed out, the corpse comes to life.

Night of the Creeps marked the feature directorial debut of cult horror director Fred Dekker (RoboCop 3, The Monster Squad), who also wrote the screenplay. It stars Tom Atkins (My Bloody Valentine), Jason Lively (European Vacation), Steve Marshall (Sleeping in a Dream), David Paymer (Drag Me to Hell) and Jill Whitlow (Weird Science). It was released by TriStar Pictures and has a run time of approximately 90 minutes. It is Rated R.

Tune in to Episode 73 of Mail Order Zombie to hear more details about this DVD release in the Zombie Beat!

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 072

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 12:32:00 GMT

Episode 72 of Mail Order Zombie is another super-sized episode of straight-to-DVD-zombie-movie-goodness . . . and a little bit more. Brother D takes a look two zombie movies this week: Melvin, from director Henry Weintraub; and RetarDEAD, from the team of Rick Popko and Dan West, are reviewed. In the middle of the movie reviews, Brother D sits in with Miss Bren during the Post Script to talk about the post-apocalyptic novel Swan Song by Robert McCammon. Dr. J presents the next installment of his Med of the Dead series, and Zombie Hunter Tony submits another Zombie Squad report, this time covering an game store event that was crashed by zombies. Also, Miss Bren and Brother D attended the 2009 Crypticon Horror Convention in Seattle, WA, this past weekend, so in this episode, you'll get to drop in on the Phantasm panel, as well as hear from folks like Ken Foree, Adrienne King and Reggie Bannister. He didn't get a chance to do so last week, so Brother D met with Platoon of the Dead special make-up effects artist Rob Merickel at Crypticon, and this interview makes its way into this week's episode as well. You'll hear all this, plus the Zombie Aptitude Test, the Feedback Discussion, another contest and two birthday greetings in this week's episode of Mail Order Zombie.

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 071

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Fri, 5 Jun 2009 04:49:00 GMT

Episode 71 of Mail Order Zombie is filled with pudding! And zombie movies! And a book! And undead karaoke? In this week's episode, Brother D reviews the zombie movie DVDs Dead Summer, directed by Eddie Benevich (courtesy of SRS Cinema), and the upcoming Destined to be Ingested, directed by Sofian Khan. And how often do you get to watch a straight-to-DVD zombie movie on the big screen? Brother D did just that at the World Premiere of John Bowker's Platoon of the Dead. He also interviewed the director as well as producer Joe Sherlock. In Miss Bren's Post Script, Miss Bren reviews the short novel Deadlands by Scott A. Johnson. Throughout the entire episode, the Zombie Aptitude Test submissions are reviewed (ah, THAT'S where the undead karaoke came from!), and a new ZAT question is laid out before the class (this ZAT question was suggested by MOZ Family Member Harold Jennett, whose work you can check out at http://www.mimescomic.com/). And if you listen closely, you might hear about a contest somewhere in the episode . . .

Special thanks to everyone who submitted a ZAT answer last month. Y'all know who you are . . . Scott, Tracey, Steve, Julie, Gord, Patrick, Slug, Wayne, Terror Haute Kent, Jay and Third Coast Zed . . . !

'Dead Earth: The Vengeance Road' - Hitting bookshelves in 2010

Fri, 29 May 2009 16:56:00 GMT

From writer/podcaster Mark Justice's website:

David Wilbanks and I have sold Dead Earth: The Vengeance Road to Permuted Press. The novel is a sequel to Dead Earth: The Green Dawn, and should be out in 2010.

"They crossed over from another world, bringing death and domination to Earth.

With demonic technology they can raise the dead into an unholy conquering army.

The "necros" destroyed Jubal Slateâs home and everyone he loved. Now the only thing that matters to Slate is payback. No matter how far he has to go or how many undead warriors he must slaughter, Slate and his motley band of followers will stop at nothing to end the reign of the aliens.

Even if it costs them their lives.

When youâve lost everything, the only thing left is vengeance."

(From The Department of Justice - http://markjustice.blogspot.com/2009/05/dead-earth-vengeance-road.html)

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 070

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 28 May 2009 11:19:00 GMT

Where can you go every May to watch zombie (and vampire) movies? Zompire: The Undead Film Festival. Where can you go to hear about the festival if you missed the event? Mail Order Zombie. In Episode 70 of MOZ, Brother D covers the event, reviewing some of the zombie movies shown (The Revenant and Morgue Story: Blood, Blowfish & Comics and a number of zombie short movies), interviewing filmmaker Kerry Prior, festival director Andrew Migliore and game designer Scott Glancy, and hanging with Mail Order Zombie Family Member O'Day. Additionally, Zombie Hunter Tony calls in a report from a local Zombie Prom. Zombie events aside, we can't let a week go by without a DVD or book review; Brother D reviews Zombiegeddon, directed by Chris Watson; and in Miss Bren's Post Script, David Wellington's Monster Island gets a little critical attention. You've got until next week to submit your answers to the current Zombie Aptitude Test which was inspired by the mockumentary The Zombeatles: All You Need is Brains, so get singing, y'all! The backhalf of the episode is set aside for the weekly Feedback Discussion, where not only do we talk about zombie movies and answer listener emails and voicemails, but Brother D questions . . . Canadian gangs? And Miss Bren finally puts her foot down; Brother D's zombie books have no place in the bathroom.

'9' Trailer and Synopsis

Fri, 22 May 2009 04:49:00 GMT

Focus Features just sent this over to MOZ Central:

A new era in animated storytelling begins on 9.9.09. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton (The Corpse Bride, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Nightwatch) join forces to produce wunderkind director Shane Ackerâs distinctively original and thrilling tale. 9 stars Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer and Crispin Glover and features the music of Danny Elfman.

When 9 (The Lord of the Ringâs Elijah Wood) first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world. All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they'll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 069

What better way to celebrate Episode 69 of Mail Order Zombie than to review the movies Erotic Nights of the Living Dead and Orgy of the Dead? That not enough for you? Miss Bren's Post Script tackles the naughty bits (and the non-naughty-bits) of the vampire/zombie novel Roses of Blood on Barbwire Vines. We don't spend the entire episode in the gutter; Mathew from Shelbytownship, Michigan, shares another installment of the ABC's of Zombies, and there's a sneak preview (courtesy of Third Coast Zed) of some of the answers we've received so far for May's Zombie Aptitude Test. And did somebody say, "pickles?"

It's Zombie Girl week here at Mail Order Zombie as Brother D and Miss Bren are reviewing the movies Pathogen, directed by Emily Hagins (this is the only zombie movie to be directed by a twelve-year-old girl); and Zombie Girl: The Movie, directed by Justin Johnson, Aaron Marshall and Erik Mauck (the documentary following the production of Pathogen). Brother D is also reviewing the Christopher Thomas score from Zombie Girl: The Movie. In Miss Bren's Post Script, Jake's Wake, written by John Skipp and Cody Goodfellow, gets a little attention, and Mathew from Shelbytownship, Michigan, drops a few more ABCs of Zombies. We're still taking answers for the current Zombie Aptitude Test as well. The backhalf of the show is devoted to the weekly Feedback Discussion, so you'll want to check that out for this week's emails and voicemails, as well as a slip of the tongue that has given Brother D a few interesting ideas for a t-shirt design (or not!)

(And remember, Brother D will be attending the Zompire Film Festival May 15-17 here in Portland, OR, where he's most excited about seeing Day of the Dead on the big screen! Check out that film festival at http://www.zompire.com.)

Mathew from Shelbytownship, Michigan, launches his new series, the ABCs of Zombies, and the answers from the April Zombie Aptitude are reviewed before the new monthly ZAT question is introduced for May.

'[REC]' hits DVD July 14th

Tue, 5 May 2009 02:23:00 GMT

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release [REC], the international smash hit that inspired the Screen Gems film Quarantine, on DVD July 14, 2009. Winner of multiple awards including two Goya Awards (Spainâs Movie Awards) including Best New Actress for Manuela Velasco (Law of Desire), [REC] includes âREC: Making-Ofâ Featurette and both English and original Spanish language versions of the film.

A beautiful TV reporter and her cameraman are doing a routine interview at a local fire station when an emergency call comes in.

After authorities seal off the building to contain the threat, the news crew, firefighters and residents are trapped to face a lethal terror inside. With the camera running, nothing may survive but the film itself.

[REC] was executive produced by Julio FernÃndez and Carlos FernÃndez, and directed by Jaume BalaguerÃ and Paco Plaza, who are currently directing the filmâs sequel, [REC] 2. The film was written by Jaume BalaguerÃ, Luis A. Berdejo and Paco Plaza.

Episode 065

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 08:46:00 GMT

Circumstances have led to this week's show being shorter than normal. As I've mentioned in a previous episode, my stepfather recently passed away, and his memorial is taking place in Cheyenne, WY, later this week. As Miss Bren and I will be flying from the Pacific Northwest to Colorado, and then drive from Colorado to Wyoming, and then driving/flying back again a few days later, we've not been able to produce a regular episode of Mail Order Zombie this week. Reviews of Beneath the Surface and Die-ner (Get It?) will appear next week, as will a review of the score to the upcoming zombie movie Deadlands 2: Trapped. Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening!

Episode 064

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 10:53:00 GMT

Miss Bren's Post Script is back in this week's episode of Mail Order Zombie, and Brother D joins her as they look at two different zombie novels - Miss Bren reviews The Rising: Selected Scenes from the End of the World by Brian Keene, and Brother D reviews Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth-Grahame-Smith. As for this week's movie reviews, Brother D fires a few more Headshots when he looks at the movies Livelihood, directed by Ryan Graham, and Black Swarm, directed by David Winning (It goes without saying that Miss Bren will not be watching Black Swarm any time soon!) A decision is made regarding whether or not the Headshot rating scale should be changed, and answers are still being collected for this month's Zombie Aptitude Test.

After some dramatic-traumatic travel experiences, Miss Bren and Brother D made it back from HorrorHound Weekend, and are ready to talk all about it!

Additionally, two more movies are reviewed this week - Graveyard Alive and Dark New World get their Headshots this episode. Also, we hear back from some of the 2008 Dead Letter Award Winners, and April's Zombie Aptitude Test question is announced.

'Zombie Girl: The Movie' screening in Dallas

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 20:44:00 GMT

Zombie Girl: The Movie is screening at the 2009 AFI Dallas International Film Festival on March 27th (10:15pm) and March 28th (7:00pm) and the Landmark Magnolia Theater. From DFW.com:

Weâve all seen dozens of "making-of" documentaries about troubled film productions and the visionary filmmakers determined to hold them together â but none quite like this one, which chronicles the efforts of 12-year-old Austinite Emily Hagins to make a zombie film. Directors Justin Johnson, Erik Mauck and Aaron Marshall manage to keep the tone playful but never mocking; and they introduce a charming group of supporting figures, including one very exasperated mother trying to support her daughterâs dream.

'Brain Dead' showing in select theaters starting March 20th

Sun, 15 Mar 2009 22:16:00 GMT

Brain Dead, directed by Kevin Tenney, will open in select theaters March 20th as part of the B Movie Nation, presented by Monogram Releasing.

In the film, a small rock crashes into Earthâs atmosphere and lands in the head of a fisherman. The rock however is not the problem; the trouble stems from the brain-sucking slime that hitched a ride in the rock. It turns its host into a zombie and reproduces, converting others into brain-eating monsters. Soon enough a group of wanderers, including a couple of jailbirds (Joshua Benton and David Crane), two med students (Sarah Grant Brendecke and Michelle Tomlinson) and a reverend and his secretary (Andy Forrest and Cristina Tiberia), hole up in a cabin in the woods, hiding from the knowledge-seeking creatures lurking outside.

Brother D was able to see this as part of 2008's Zompire Film Festival, and it was a lot of fun. Brain Dead will be showing at the following theaters:

'Timecrimes' landing on DVD on March 31

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 02:13:00 GMT

I personally am a HUGE fan of time travel stories, and while I realize Timecrimes doesn't sound a lot like the kind of thing we review here at Mail Order Zombie, I'm still hoping to take a look at it to talk about in an upcoming episode of MOZ Presents: The Munchies.

Oscar-nominated short film director Nacho Vigalondo (7:35 in the Morning) makes his feature film debut in the tense, unstoppable vision of science and natural law gone awry in Timecrimes. Starring lauded Spanish writer and director Karra Elejalde (Holy Mary), the film follows the jarring tale of an ordinary man named Hector who accidentally travels back in time and is forced to fight for survival and to protect the woman he loves.

Drawing from the best traditions of classic science fiction and crime fiction, Timecrimes plays games with the genre and the audience, giving the protagonist a Russian-doll like shell of identities that are shed so often that Hector can be playing one of any number of whodunit archetypes at any given moment as he becomes increasingly more complicit in the complicated mess that he's trying to fix.

Episode 058

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 5 Mar 2009 09:47:00 GMT

Mail Order Zombie is back in business after last week's Dead Letter Awards! Brother D dives into a review of the 2007 straight-to-DVD zombie movie Zombie Town directed by Damon Lemay before kicking off the month-long series March of the Zombi(e) with a critical look at the 1979 Fulci Film Zombi 2. The Hammer film The Plague of the Zombies makes its first official appearance on Mail Order Zombie, but not for a Headshot review, and Brother D is eager to talk about a very specific element of this movie. Mail Order Zombie Family Member Dr. J launches his own series on the show this week, and since it's a new month, a new Zombie Aptitude Test, or ZAT, question is posed to the listeners. This week's Feedback Discussion is super-sized, and Miss Bren joins Brother D to go over a number of emails and voicemails; in addition to the regulars, some new listeners and emailers join the party.

'My Bloody Valentine 3D' DVD specs and release date

Tue, 3 Mar 2009 03:32:00 GMT

We reviewed My Bloody Valentine 3D back in January; you can hear our review in MOZ Presents: The Munchies #4 (http://mailorderzombie.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=424325). While it was fun, I'm real curious as to how the movie is going to hold up to being presented on the home screen. There have been mixed to poor results when attempting 3D for a home release. How will this newer 3D technology hold up? We'll find out on May 26th

The 3D remake of the classic horror film My Bloody Valentine slashes its way into stores in a Special Edition DVD and Blu-ray Disc as well as a standard definition DVD this May from Lionsgate. A terrifying tale about a small town that faces horrifying consequences on the anniversary of a deadly tragedy, My Bloody Valentine 3D was praised by horror critics as "The best 3D horror film ever made" (CHUD.com). The Special Edition DVD includes both the 2D and 3D versions of the film with bonus materials including audio commentary, two featurettes - "Deep Inside My Bloody Valentine" a behind the scenes look at the making of the film and "Sex, Blood and Screams" - the make-up FX from the film, deleted scenes and a gag reel.. It will come with four pairs of 3D glasses enclosed in the DVD. My Bloody Valentine 3D on Blu-ray Disc contains both 2D and 3D versions, four pairs of 3D glasses plus all of the special features and a digital copy of the film. The standard DVD will feature both the 3D and 2D widescreen versions of the film and will come with four pairs of 3D glasses.

Ten years ago in the town of Harmony, an inexperienced coal miner caused an accident that trapped and killed five men and sent the only survivor, Harry Warden, into a coma. When Harry woke, exactly one year later on Valentine's Day, he wanted revenge and brutally murdered 22 people with a pickaxe before being killed himself. Now, after years of peace, something from Harmony's dark past has returned. Wearing a miner's mask and armed with a pickaxe, an unstoppable killer is on the loose. As his footsteps come ever closer, the townspeople realize in terror that it just might be Harry Warden who has found his way back.
Pricing: DVD $29.95 (2D and 3D w/four pairs of 3D glasses)
Pricing: DVD $34.98 (Special Edition 2D and 3D w/ four pairs of 3D glasses)
Pricing: DVD $39.99 (2D and 3D w/ four pairs of 3D glasses and digital copy)

Fri, 20 Feb 2009 04:58:00 GMT

Based on the best-selling novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist, Let the Right One In weaves friendship, rejection and loyalty into a disturbing and darkly atmospheric, yet poetic and unexpectedly tender tableau of adolescence. Helmed by Swedish filmmaker Tomas Alfredson, Let the Right One In is the first release of the Magnet Six Shooter film series, a collection of six high-quality films that aims to bring fans a mix of the most intelligent, genre-bending titles available.

Regularly bullied by his stronger classmates, 12-year-old Oskar's wish for a friend seems to come true when he meets his new neighbor Eli. A pale, serious young girl, Eli only comes out at night and doesn't seem affected by the freezing temperatures. Coinciding with her arrival is a series of inexplicable disappearances and murders. One man is found tied to a tree, another frozen in the lake, a woman bitten in the neck. Blood seems to be the common denominator - and for an introverted boy like Oskar, who is fascinated by gruesome stories, it doesn't take long before he figures out that Eli is a vampire.

But by now a subtle romance has blossomed between the two, and she gives him the strength to fight back against his aggressors. Oskar becomes increasingly aware of the tragic, inhuman dimension of Eli's plight, but cannot bring himself to forsake her. Frozen forever in a twelve-year-old's body, with all the burgeoning feelings and confused emotions of a young adolescent, Eli knows that she can only continue to live if she keeps on moving. But when Oskar faces his darkest hour, Eli returns to defend him the only way she can . . .

We here at Mail Order Zombie are eager to review this movie, and you can expect one once we get closer to the release date!

Episode 056

Thu, 19 Feb 2009 09:48:00 GMT

Mail Order Zombie goes Old West (sort of) and overseas with two more movie reviews this week - Brother D reviews the recently-released Dead Noon, and then Miss Bren joins him for a discussion of the South Korean movie The Guardpost. Because MOZ Central is gearing up for the 1st Annual Dead Letter Awards next week, instead of Brother D reviewing another straight-to-DVD zombie movie on his own like he normally would, some members of the Mail Order Zombie family have contributed material for this week's show. O'Day submits the second installment in his series of survival tips, and everyone's favorite living impaired family member Wayne Kotke conducts a phone interview with Timothy Mather, director of No. My Other Possessed Zombie Girlfriend. Busy for the awards show or not, Miss Bren and Brother D still have time to go over the voicemails and emails from the previous week for this episode's Feedback Discussion as well.

MOZ Presents: The Munchies 006 - 'Friday the 13th' (2009)

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GMT

There's no way Brother D - a longtime fan of all things Friday the 13th (although he's never seen the television series - he needs to get on the ball on that one!) - is going to let the 2009 remake / reimagining / rewhatevering version of Friday the 13th hit the screen and not talk about it. After a 12:01am showing on Friday the 13th, he raced home to record a review of the flick. Also, the winners from the Tales from the Darkside: The First Season DVD contest are announced.

Episode 055

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 11:18:00 GMT

It's Civil War week here at Mail Order Zombie. Brother D reviews two Civil War movies when he casts his ever-critical eye on Grey Knight and Curse of the Cannibal Confederates. Miss Bren does double-duty this week - she not only helps with the week's Feedback Discussion, but she also stops by to discuss five Civil War-themed zombie short stories as well. We're still accepting answers for the current Zombie Aptitude Test. This episode did run a bit longer than we planned, so thanks for hanging in there with us!

Steven Seagal versus Vampires? YES!

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 06:56:00 GMT

This could be one of the greatest vampire movies EVER!

http://www.sonypictures.com/sphe/againstdark/tao_high.wmv

Katana master Tao (Steven Seagal) leads a special ops squad of ex-military vigilantes on a massacre mission, their target: vampires. On the post-apocalyptic globe, sucked dry by bloodthirsty vampires, a few remaining survivors are trapped in an infected hospital. Tao is their only hope and he knows the only cure is execution. Now it's time for the last stand against the flesh-eating vampires and there's nothing left to lose but the last of humanity.

Against the Dark was released to DVD TODAY, Febraury 10, and while we normally go for zombie movies here at Mail Order Zombie Central, I can't help but feel the draw of this movie! Steven Seagal? Keith David? VAMPIRES?

His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th hits DVD this week, and Brother D has had an opportunity to check it out. No, he doesn't re-open the is-he-or-isn't-he debate of whether or not Jason Voorhees is a zombie (although the word "zombie" is mentioned twice in this documentary!), but he does take a look at this 2-disc DVD set which features material from every Friday the 13th film.

'Mutant Chronicles' - Release Date and Red-Band Trailer

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 04:59:00 GMT

Mutant Chronicles will premiere on VOD on Friday, March 27th, 2009, followed by a theatrical release in select cities on Friday, April 24th.

Mutant Chronicles is set in the year 2707, on an unrecognizable Earth where a war is raging between four giant corporations who control the planet as they battle over the planet's dwindling resources. This war is soon rendered irrelevant when an errant bomb shatters an ancient buried seal, releasing a horrific mutant army from its prison deep within the earth. As the mutant scourge threatens human extinction, a squad of ragged soldiers, led by Mitch Hunter (Thomas Jane), descends into the earth in a last ditch effort to destroy the mutants and save mankind.

'Tales from the Darkside' coming to DVD - February 10, 2009

Mon, 19 Jan 2009 09:51:00 GMT

Man lives in the sunlit world of what he believes to be reality. But... there is, unseen by most, an underworld, a place that is just as real, but not as brightly lit . . . a Darkside.

In the vein of âThe Twilight Zoneâ and Creepshow, each episode of "Tales from the Darkside" depicts a short, strange tale . . . with a twist. From Executive Producer George Romero, each episode of the acclaimed series boasted eerie and suspenseful story lines and took audiences on a new journey from the worlds of horror, fantasy and science fiction. The ground-breaking iconic series from the 1980s also featured an array of acclaimed performances from stars including Christian Slater (âMy Own Worst Enemyâ), Danny Aiello (Do The Right Thing), Tippi Hedren (The Birds) and Justine Bateman (âFamily Tiesâ). Featuring all 24 episodes from the showâs inaugural season and commentary on the pilot episode from Romero, the three-disc "Tales form the Darkside" set is a definite must-have for any horror fan. "Tales from the Darkside: The First Season" will be available for the suggested retail price of $39.99 US and $42.99 CAN.

Brother D is VERY excited about this release! The first season of "Tales from the Darkside" includes the episode "The Word Processor of the Gods," which is based on a Stephen King story, and "Inside the Closet," which was directed by Tom Savini!

Keep checking back here at MailOrderZombie.com for future details explaining how you can win a copy of "Tales from the Darkside: The First Season" next month!

This episode of Mail Order Zombie goes to Europe when Brother D reviews the movies Demonic and Choking Hazard, and here's a word of warning - Miss Bren totally crashes the Choking Hazard review, and when she does, she and Brother D both spoil pretty much everything about Choking Hazard, so consider yourself warned! This week also marks the debut of a new segment from MOZ Family Member O'Day. Called O'Day's MOZ Survival Tips, this segment makes Mail Order Zombie no longer just entertaining, but it's educational now, too! The current Zombie Aptitude Test, or ZAT, is still open, and, as always, the backhalf of the show is devoted to this week's Feedback Discussion (and, yes, Spot - Brother D will take you to Zombie Town).

MOZ Presents: The Munchies 002 - 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' (2008)

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 05:36:00 GMT

Brother D and Miss Bren stepped briefly away from the zombie movies long enough to watch the 2008 remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still. In addition to talking about the movie, Miss Bren chastises Brother D over a childhood crush and they both turn to the Mail Order Zombie Family to help them come up with a rating scale for non-zombie movie reviews.

Episode 047

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 11:46:00 GMT

We lost track of how many headshots we gave out this week on Mail Order Zombie! Brother D reviews John Saxon's only turn in the director's chair when he takes a look at Zombie Death House, and then Miss Bren fires off some headshots of her own when she joins Brother D for a discussion of Dead Set. Mail Order Zombie Family members Jay and Mathew also send in reviews of their own (taking a look at Resident Evil: Degeneration and Waxwork II: Lost in Time respectively). But it's not just movie reviews this week - Billy Garberina, actor-director of the 4-Headshot-rated Necroville spends some time with Mail Order Zombie this week to talk about movie-making, why no-budgetters might be drawn to zombies and how you can't always trust the IMDB. The winners for the trade paperbacks of The Walking Dead are announced as well.

'Black Swarm' lands on DVD in February

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 05:02:00 GMT

Intelligent. Deadly. And Out To Destroy Us.
Meet The Ultimate Buzz-Kill.

Exterminator Devin Hall (Sebastien Roberts, "Providence") has seen a lot when it comes to peculiar insect behavior, but nothing like the swarm of wasps that descends on a homeless man and kills him. The attack captures the attention of two women: Katherine Randall (Jayne Heitmeyer, "Earth: Final Conflict"), an associate professor of entomology; and Jane Kozik (Sarah Allen, "Secret Window"), the new Deputy Sheriff and Devinâs former lover. They join Devin in his quest to stop the deadly swarm. When Janeâs daughter Kelsey meets Eli (Robert Englund), the odd âwasp keeper,â and other locals who all seem to buzz, things get even stranger. Be afraid. Be very afraid, if you see a Black Swarm approaching!

I'm sure this is one Miss Bren will NOT be sitting down to watch with me(!), but I've been pleasantly surprised by some of the entires in the Maneater Series, and I'm looking forward to this one when it hits DVD on February 3, 2009.

Episode 046

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 10:34:00 GMT

There are Headshots a'plenty in this week's episode of Mail Order Zombie. Brother D takes a good and hard (and sometimes mean) look at the movies Zombiez, Catholic Ghoulgirls and Zombie Apocalypse before diving into this week's Feedback Discussion with Miss Bren. We'll also sneak in a few diary entries into the mix - Zombie Farmer submitted a few days' worth of journaling detailing how she would handle living in a zombie reality.

We're still taking accepting entries for the first four trades of The Walking Dead (plus t-shirt!) until December 15th.

Special thanks to everyone who called in to wish Brother D a happy birthday this week. At the time of Episode 46's recording, we'd received email greetings, a Disneyland recording from Need-a-Nickname Scott (from The Disney, Indiana Podcast), forum posts, Tweets, voicemails, an E-card and even a special message from one of the lead actors from an Uncle Romero classic!

Three zombie websites unite

Mon, 8 Dec 2008 01:17:00 GMT

Zombie fans of all media now have a chance to be part of a community driven film as Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated, Lost Zombies and Nation Undead have joined forces to facilitate each others projects creating a community of the zombie communities.

Between NOTLD:R's final call for artists and animators to reinvent the scenes of Romero's classic, Lost Zombies reaching out to the community for any form of 'proof' they have of zombies and Nation Undead's call to independent film makers to tell their story within the framework of an outbreak, every fan has the chance to have their work seen as part of these ever growing projects.

Lost Zombies has set a goal, 1000 videos and 10,000 images, before they move into assembly and production. With the call for everyone to submit their 'Proof of Zombies' to this community driven documentary, there is now an end in sight for this extensive project. Submit your proof at LostZombies.com.

Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated is entering it's final round of submissions. With over 500 artists and animators responding from over 50 countries around the world, this is the final call for artists to join our group and help re-envision Romero's classic through their artwork. Expect this film to see its International DVD release in 2009. Go to NOTLDR.com for details.

Nation Undead has revamped its website in order to offer filmmakers more props, materials, and media to facilitate telling their stories. As a whole, the outbreak will cover everything from the first signs of infection strait through the aftermath by way of these independently created featurettes. To view some of the films which have been submitted and to find out how you can tell your story go to NationUndead.com.

Final poster for 'My Bloody Valentine 3-D'

Sun, 7 Dec 2008 03:28:00 GMT

This film has definitely grabbed my attention, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's going to play in 3D somewhere near me.

This remake of the 1981 horror classic stars Jensen Ackles (TV's "Smallville" and "Supernatural"), Jaime King (The Spirit, Sin City), Kerr Smith (Final Destination, "Dawson's Creek"), and Tom Atkins (Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Night of the Creeps) is directed by Patrick Lussier (White Noise 2).

My Bloody Valentine 3-D opens January 16.

Episode 045

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 4 Dec 2008 10:15:00 GMT

This week on Mail Order Zombie, the movie Day X steps up for its MOZ treatment, and instead of a second movie review, we review a comic. Miss Bren just read Volume 1 of The Walking Dead trade paperbacks, so she sits down with Brother D to talk about it (as well as sneaking in a few words about what she's read of Volume 2 so far!). The contest for The Zombie Diaries has come to an end, and the winners are announced, and because we like giving things away (and we have very generous members of the Mail Order Zombie Family who have hooked us up with such great swag!), we'll slip in the launch of a new contest this week, too! We go over the week's emails and voicemails in the weekly Feedback Discussion and add another country to the MOZ World Domination plans when we hear from a new listener in a country we've not heard from before. We also learn why Brother D has started carrying a screwdriver with him everywhere he goes.

'Plan 9' Director to tackle The Dark Tower

Tue, 2 Dec 2008 09:05:00 GMT

John Johnson, the man behind Darkstone Entertainment, has announced that he'll be tackling the Dark Tower . . . sort of.

Johnson has announced plans to shoot his own series of features inspired by the Robert Browning poem "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came," which also served as an inspiration to Stephen King when he wrote The Gunslinger. "Iâve had an obsession with a dark tower in my dreams since I was 5 years old," John Johnson told Fangoria. "Guess it is time to face it in the best way I know how."

Johnson is the director of several horror movies, including Shadowhunters, which features zombies, as well as the upcoming remake of Ed Wood's film Plan 9 From Outer Space.

Episode 044

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 10:37:00 GMT

Two more movies and a videogame get some attention this week in Episode 44 of Mail Order Zombie. Many, many moons ago, a member of the Mail Order Zombie Family asked Brother D about a movie he found in the discount bin at his local Wal-Mart. The movie? 2004's Death Valley: The Revenge of Bloody Bill. And this week, Brother D finally reviews it. And more recently, another MOZ Family member asked about the movie Rome Against Rome, so Brother D reviews this movie this week as well. A new contributor joins the family to review the videogame Left 4 Dead, and Miss Bren does her best to keep a straight face when she gets a series of strange phone calls while reading emails in this week's Feedback Discussion.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

The Midnight Meat Train - Release Date Announced

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 04:48:00 GMT

Lionsgate has announced the DVD and Blu-ray Disc release date for The Midnight Meat Train. Directed by critically acclaimed Japanese filmmaker RyÃhei Kitamura (Versus) in his American debut, the film is based on legendary horror writer Clive Barker's popular short story from his classic Books of Blood collection. The screenplay was adapted by Jeff Buhler. Featuring a cast highlighted by some of today's hottest stars including Bradley Cooper (Wedding Crashers), Leslie Bibb (Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby), Tony Curran (The Good German), Brooke Shields (TV's "Lipstick Jungle"), and Vinnie Jones (X-Men: The Last Stand), critics called The Midnight Meat Train "one of the most effective horror films of the year" (Cinematical), "destined to become a cult classic as a vicious, brilliant, and disgusting horror film" (Cinema Crazed), "sharp and brutal" (Boxoffice Magazine) and "guaranteed to make you squirm, scream and beg for more" (Bloody-Disgusting.com).

The DVD and Blu-ray Disc contain frightening bonus materials including the featurettes "Anatomy of a Murder Scene," - a first hand look into how the grizzly killings from the film were created, "What's in Mahogany's Bag?" - a look inside the killer's tool kit and "Clive Barker: The Man Behind the Myth" - the horror legend shares the origins of Midnight Meat Train as well as presents a never-before-seen tour of his personal art studio and paintings.

I didn't get a chance to see this during it's VERY brief theatrical run, and I've been a fan of Barker's short stories for a long time, so I'm definitely looking forward to this. I've listened to the score by Johannes Kobilke and Robb Williamson, which I found to be appropriately creepy - here's to hoping the movie holds up!

AVAILBLE ON FEBRUARY 17

Alien Raiders - Release Date Announced

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 10:08:00 GMT

I spoke about Alien Raiders in the first MOZ Presents: The Munchies episode when the film was screened as part of the 2008 H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival. I had an absolute blast watching this film, and along with the Audience Favorite Award it won at that festival, Alien Raiders has also been recognized with the following awards at other festivals across the US:
Shriekfest - Best Thriller
Shockerfest - Best Sci Fi Feature Film, Best Actress (Courtney Ford) and Honorable Mention in the Best Actor category (Carlos Bernard)
Terror Film Festival - Best Picture
Freak Show Horror Film Festival - Best Feature and Carlos Bernard was named Best Actor
International Horror and Sci Fi Film Festival - Best Horror Screenplay
The Thriller! Chiller! Film Festival - The Thriller Award

Fresh veggies on Aisle 1. Fresh kills throughout the store. Something terrible is happening at Hastings Market. Something bloody. Something deadly. Something inhuman. And caught up in the grisly horror inside the market are shoppers turned hostages, unearthly alien terrors . . . and a dedicated commando band of raiders on a search-and-destroy mission to stop the intruders dead cold no matter where they hide. From Raw Feed, creators of the Rest Stop and Otis shockers, comes the sci-fi/horror tale Alien Raiders, a nerve-shredding battle for human survival against aliens that invade our world by invading our bodies. Be alert. Beware. Be afraid. The creaturesâ next host could be your neighbor. Your kid brother. No â itâs you!

Produced by Dan Myrick (co-director of The Blair Witch Project, co-writer of Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, director of Solstice, The Believers, and The Objective) and directed by Ben Rock (Shadow of the Blair Witch, Conversations), Alien Raiders is WHVâs sixth acquired title from the successful âRaw Feedâ film franchise. The film stars Carlos Bernard (â24â), Jeff Licon (Mysterious Skin), Courtney Ford (Lie to Me), Samantha Streets (The Girl from the Naked Eye), Keith Hudson (Bad Boys II, Sex Drive), Matthew St. Patrick (War, âSix Feet Underâ), and Rockmond Dunbar (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, âPrison Breakâ). Tony Krantz (Otis, Mulholland Drive, Sublime, â24â) and John Shiban (âThe X Files,â âSupernatural,â Rest Stop) are also producers.

Left 4 Dead - Reviewed by The Bayou Hunter

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 10:02:00 GMT

Left 4 Dead is a First Person Shooter that pits four survivors against endless waves of the undead. The thing that sets this game apart from ther FPS games is teamwork, no matter how good you are, you need to stay with the group to survive and that's where the game shines. The levels are well thought out and follow a linear path (beginning, middle and end), but multiple paths can be taken to get to the end of level. Left 4 Dead also features what's called an AI Director which means zombies will never come from exactly the same place. You may be overwhelmed in a subway one game and find nothing there the next. Online play is where this game really shines - having three other people controlling your the other survivors adds a tactical edge that I have not seen in other games of this type.

Your enemies in this game are hordes of mindless zombies and five hero zombies (four of which can be played in the online versus match). These are not NotLD zombies - these guys are after you at top speed once they see you.

The two things that hurt this game are the lack of weapon variety and the lack of an overarching story. Weapons-wise, you get shotguns, pistols, machine guns and a couple explosives. While each level has a basic "we have to get here to escape" storyline, there is nothing deeper than that. There are rumors of these issues being adressed in future downloadable content, but that is only in rumor form right now.

I am going to give this game two ratings. One for your average man on the street and one for the people who love zombies as much as I do.

For the Zombie Fan this game get's a solid 4-out-of-5.

For the Average Joe, this game gets 3-out-of-5 due to the lack of weapon variety and story might turn them off a bit.

Episode 043

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:30:00 GMT

Brother D uses the words "bunny rabbit" way too much this week in Episode 43 of Mail Order Zombie. A bunny rabbit makes its way through one of the three movies he reviews - The Forever Dead, Storm of the Dead and Dead Country. Two members of the Mail Order Zombie family contribute reviews of their own, bringing the review total to four-and-a-half (!) this week. In the middle of all these reviews, Brother D talks about how to get the most amount of movies for the least amount of money, and we launch a new contest in this episode! We have four copies of a 5-Headshot-rated movie to give away! Miss Bren also swings by for the weekly Feedback Discussion, and we're still accepting answers for the current Zombie Aptitude Test question. Can you handle the bunny rabbit? Can you handle the zombies? Can you handle Episode 43?

Zombie Allegiance - News and Trailer

Thu, 6 Nov 2008 07:06:00 GMT

Zombie Allegiance (the first feature film from Solipsist Media Group) takes place in a post nuclear WWIII America, where those who were not killed in the attacks were turned to zombies by a second biological attack. The world is mostly dead, and those who survived are either vigilantes or desperate survivalists. One such group of survivalists find themselves defending their lives from much more than zombies and vigilantes when strange disappearances start to occur. Religion, politics, and the fundamental struggle of right and wrong construct a backdrop to what is much more than a zombie/slasher flick, but what writer/director Tony Nunes hopes is a true account of American values. Zombie Allegiance stars Brandon Luis Aponte, Richard Tretheway, Jennifer Kimmerle and Andre Boudreau; the film's homepage is http://www.myspace.com/zombieallegiance. Zombie Allegiance is wrapping post-production now with a planned premiere scheduled for mid- to late-December.

Episode 041

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 6 Nov 2008 05:01:00 GMT

In this week's episode of Mail Order Zombie, Brother D tries to wash the taste of House of the Dead out of his mouth with two more DVD reviews. The DVD releases of Zombie Strippers and Hoodoo for Voodoo are reviewed this week, and Brother D and Miss Bren venture away from the TV screen for some theatrical kinda-sorta zombie action when they finally watch Quarantine and share their thoughts with the Mail Order Zombie family (pay attention - Brother D and Miss Bren disagree on a key point about Quarantine!). We finally announce some contest winners - three listeners will walk away from this episode of Mail Order Zombie with their own copies of Zombie Movies: The Ultimate Guide by Glenn Kay. Even though we had to record this week's Feedback Discussion earlier than normal, we have plenty of material to get through, and we've got all the other features and fun you've come to expect from Mail Order Zombie. Let's do it!

Midnight Movie - Special Screenings Across the US - Coming Soon!

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Mon, 3 Nov 2008 08:31:00 GMT

At a run down theater in a sleepy suburban town, a group of friends attend the midnight screening of a 1970s cult horror film. These unsuspecting teenagers are unaware that the director and star of the movie made a bloody escape from a psych ward five years earlier and may still be on the loose. As the midnight movie begins, the kids heckle the old black-and-white scenes. But they are jolted when the killer butchers one of their friendsâon screen! They soon realize that the killing is not a prank. They are locked inside the theatre and the killer from the movie is after them!

Caught between reality and the screenâs flickering shadows, are they becoming the unwilling stars of the very horror movie they are watching?

A series of special screenings of Midnight Movie are about to hit various cities across the US. The movie will play in California, New York, Texas, Pennsylvania and in Portland, Oregon, which means Brother D will be seeing the film and reviewing it in an upcoming episode of the MOZ Presents: The Munchies podcast. Midnight Movie, directed by Jack Messitt, looks like a lot of fun, and we can't wait to talk about the movie here at Mail Order Zombie!

You can learn more about the movie at http://www.midnightmovie.com, and you can find out where you can see Midnight Movie at http://www.midnightmovie.com/events/index.html.

Episode 040

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 09:21:00 GMT

Another week, another episode of Mail Order Zombie! This week, Brother D pushes the limits and explores all new depths in zombie cinema when he reviews House of the Dead, House of the Dead 2: No Guts, No Glory and the Director's Cut of House of the Dead, the Funny version . . . all at once. To try to keep his sanity, he also (inspired by the award-nominated Outside the Cinema podcast) presents his Top 5 List of Best Zombie Movies to Play at Your Halloween Party (and then Bill from Outside the Cinema decides to drop by with a list of his own!), and if that's not enough to help keep Brother D straight, one of the MOZ Family helped out by calling in a quick review of a kinda-sorta zombie movie released by Full Moon a few years ago. Maybe that wasn't enough to keep Brother D level-headed because he does make a phone call this week (NOT to Netflix!) that may get him in trouble down the line! Miss Bren drops by for the weekly Feedback Discussion, and the answers to the current ZAT question are gone over before a new question is posed to the family. Also, we're still running that contest to give away one of three copies of the book Zombie Movies: The Ultimate Guide by Glenn Kay - listen to the episode to learn how you can win!

MOZ Presents: The Munchies 001 - The 2008 H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 07:54:00 GMT

For Brother D, October doesn't "officially" start until the weekend of the H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival.

Episode 039.5

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 06:01:00 GMT

The current Zombie Aptitude Test question was dropped from the mix in Episode 39, so Brother D puts it out there since the answers are due next week. Also, Amy from the Night of the Living Podcast is concerned for Brother D's soul. Despite her concern, he digs deep to find something special to review for Episode 40, the Halloween Episode. What's in store for Episode 40? Listen to find out . . .

Episode 039

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 09:36:00 GMT

Miss Bren rocked it last week, didn't she? She kept the show going and microphone warm, and now Brother D is back, firing on almost all cylinders and rocking Episode 39 of Mail Order Zombie. The review content is high this week: Miss Bren and Brother D review Episodes 2 and 3 of Zombie Hunters: City of the Dead, Dave from the Cheap and Dirty Podcast reviews the comic Dead Space, the movies Zombie Wars and Dance of the Dead get the Mail Order Zombie treatment, and four listeners submit reviews of their own as well! Answers for the current Zombie Aptitude Test are still being collected, as are entries for the contest to win your own copy of the book Zombie Movies: The Ultimate Guide by Glenn Kay. Check it out!

Dead Space: Downfall - Video Trailer

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 20:53:00 GMT

An ancient religious artifact has been recovered by a deep-space mining ship, and for the crew of the USG Ishimura, life just became a living hell. Unearthed on a far-away planet during a mining operation, the relic is worshiped by some, even seen as proof of God. But when it's removed from its resting place and brought on the ship, the artifact unleashes a long-dormant alien race, one bent on ripping apart -- and taking over -- every human aboard. Their screams CAN be heard in space . . . but only the slashers are listening.

Episode 038

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 03:49:00 GMT

Brother D is doing his best to not become a zombie himself, so while he's fighting off the crud that has taken residence inside his nasal cavity and throat, Miss Bren steps up and runs the show! Both Brother D and Miss Bren were guests at the 2008 Revenant Film Festival, so you will hear a little bit from Brother D as he covers that event (with a special guest appearance by another Northwest podcaster!), and Miss Bren takes this opportunity to clear through the backlog of emails and voicemails here at MOZ Central. She also announces the winner of The Vanguard DVD contest, and announces the next Mail Order Zombie contest starting with this week's episode. The current Zombie Aptitude Test answers are revealed and a new ZAT question is posed to the Mail Order Zombie family. (And thanks to Corey Graham of The Midnight Podcast for sending in a recording that does nothing but further the Is-He-Or-Isn't-He? discussion!)

Episode 037

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 9 Oct 2008 14:25:00 GMT

We didn't intend for Episode 37 to be so Feedback-heavy when we started, but we have so much great discussion-fodder, Bren and Brother D just couldn't help themselves. Before the Feedback Avalanche hits, though, Brother D sneaks in a review of Night of the Living Dorks, and a few members of the Mail Order Zombie Family members also sent in their thoughts of the movie as well. The contest for The Vanguard is still running, and we scour the interweb for zombie news and sightings in this week's Zombie Beat. And because it's his show and he said so, Brother D is extending the Zombie Aptitude Test question one more week, so you still have time to get your ZAT answers in. (Special thanks to Scott and Tracey from Disney, Indiana for the Harry Manfredini audio!)

One DVD (The Vanguard), one CD (The Dead Matter: Cemetery Gates) and one table top game (Humans!) get a little attention in Episode 36 of Mail Order Zombie (thanks to Lord Dward from Plan 9 From Cyberspace!). Not only do you get to hear these reviews, you also get to hear every ringtone Bren has on her cell phone as she proves just how popular she is when she's interrupted several times while reading y'all's Feedback this week. In addition to the Name-That-Zombie-Movie contest that launched last week, a new contest kicks off for a copy of one of the items reviewed this week, and we're still taking answers for the current Zombie Aptitude Test question.

Episode 035

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 06:11:00 GMT

Episode 35 of Mail Order Zombie brings the goods with a review of Zombies! Zombies! Zombies!, but Brother D doesn't let this movie's headshots stop him. He cracks open the new book Zombie Movies: The Ultimate Guide by Glenn Kay, and he tracks down Geoff Bough from Revenant: The Premiere Zombie Magazine to talk about the 2008 Revenant Film Festival. (Thanks to Geoff for the interview!) A few Zombie Aptitude Test answers from the previous ZAT question slipped through the cracks last week, so Brother D goes over these, and Bren joins us for the weekly Feedback Discussion (and manages to sneak in a new contest right in the middle of everyone's emails and voicemails!).

'Zombie Wars' Screening

Sat, 13 Sep 2008 05:54:00 GMT

Nobody knows exactly how it happened. Whatever the reason, the dead had risen from the ground, and they were hungry! After years of war only small rebel bands of humans remain in the war against the undead. When Brian, the leader of a military group, is captured by the enemy, he is taken to a nearby farm where he learns of a horrific secret . . .

David A. Prior's Zombie Wars, starring Alissa Koenig and Dean Chambers, will be screened Friday, September 19, at 6:30pm; and Saturday, September 20, at 4:00pm and 6:00pm. The location of the screening is the O. S. Art House at the John Street Grill (17 John Street) in New York City, and producer Bill Ferrell will be in attendance for a question-and-answer session focusing on Low Budget Indie Filmmaking. Tickets cost $15 at the door.

If any of the Mail Order Zombie Family is in the area and catch the movie, give us a call and let us know how it is!

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 06:31:00 GMT

Two more movies, and a horror score gets a little Mail Order Zombie love this week in Episode 33 of Mail Order Zombie. Bone Sickness (originally scheduled to appear on Episode 32) finally gets its headshots, and Gangs of the Dead stands by it to take its hits as well. One of these movies almost made Brother D sick, and the other one gets a few mini-reviews from members of the Mail Order Zombie family. Brother D points his ears at Cliff Bradley's score from the film Undead, and in the second half of the episode, Bren stops by to discuss everyone's Feedback. There are two contests running right now, and the current Zombie Aptitude Test question is still open!

American Zombie gets its headshots this week in Episode 32 of Mail Order Zombie. Bone Sickness was originally scheduled to appear this week as well, but unforeseen and uncontrollable circumstances have forced us to push back this movie's review at least another week. Because we've had some Real Life Bumps, Bren and Brother D spend more time on Feedback this week more than anything else after the American Zombie review. Also, listeners will have a chance to win a DVD in another Mail Order Zombie contest!

We care about the children. That's not to say we want you to let your children listen to Episode 31 of Mail Order Zombie (Bren's got a potty mouth sometimes!), but we do want to help you decide if When Good Ghouls Go Bad is appropriate for your children. Additionally, Brother D wants to help you decide if Sabbath (part of the Mortuary of Madness 50 Movie Pack from Mill Creek Entertainment) is appropriate for your DVD player. You can also expect all the regular Mail Order Zombie features (The Zombie Beat, Listener Feedback and the Zombie Aptitude Test) this week as well. (And make sure you stick around for at the end of the show to hear what certain wiseacres/friends of the show went and did, thinking they were funny . . . grumble, grumble . . . !)

Y'all know the routine - this week in Episode 29 of Mail Order Zombie, Brother D sits down with two more movies to review. The Zombie Chronicles takes it Headshots, and the Living Dead Lock Up saga comes to a close with Living Dead Lock Up 3: Siege of the Dead. In addition to reviewing Living Dead Lock Up 3, Brother D is also going to look back at the entire trilogy and offer a few thoughts on the viewing experience of these three no-budgeters. Bren pops in to go over everyone's Feedback where we hear from a special friend of the show who may or may not have had his hometown overrun with zombies. We're still taking answers for the current Zombie Aptitude Test question, but we start the show out with a solid dose of news in this week's Zombie Beat.

Episode 028

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 7 Aug 2008 07:02:00 GMT

The Living Dead Lock Up saga continues as Brother D reviews Living Dead Lock Up 2: March of the Dead in Episode 28 of Mail Order Zombie; the movie Dead Creatures will also get its headshots this week. The headshot count this week is low, but the number of news items in this week's Zombie Beat is high with zombie movie, game and theatre news. Bren stops by to take a bite out of the Listener Feedback, and we go over the current Zombie Aptitude Test answers before going over the next ZAT question (which was submitted by one of the listeners!). Also, Dave from the Cheap and Dirty Podcast has his own theory as to how the original Night of the Living Dead became the well-known and -loved classic that it is. (This week's show is a little lighter than normal, but next week we'll be back up to 100-minutes-or-so - I promise!)

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 12:54:00 GMT

After the Episode 25 Extravaganza and catching our breath with Episode 26, we're getting back to basics with Episode 27 of Mail Order Zombie. The Headshot Reviews are back as Brother D watches Living Dead Lock Up and Outpost. Even though we're getting back to what passes for normal around MOZ Central, we're still going to bring in something new - Bren's Semi-Regular-Book-A-Palooza-Apocalyptic-Fiction-A-Go-Go (we really need a name for this segment!) makes its debut as she talks about David Moody's Autumn. We also have the small matter of finding out who won the Name-The-Mystery-Movie-Trailer Contest and get to awarding two winners with a copy of Hell's Ground courtesy of TLA Releasing. We've got a bit of Feedback to go over, and the current Zombie Aptitude Test question still needs your answers. There's also a bit of news in this week's Zombie Beat.

Lord Dward's thoughts on NotLD (from Episode 026)

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 06:09:00 GMT

Lord Dward, host of the podcast Plan Nine From Cyberspace and listener extraordinaire sent Mail Order Zombie this email about the original Night of the Living Dead. Bren and Brother D read this email on Episode 026 and shared their thoughts, but by popular request (at the Mail Order Zombie Forums), and with Lord Dward's permission, his email is presented here for the Mail Order Zombie nation to read.

I do have to take you and Sister B to task on your take on Ben and Mr. Cooper. Let me preface my rant by saying that I believe that those of us in the horror movie lovers community try to be, and for the most part, are rather open-minded and we certainly do not like to think of ourselves as racist. Perhaps we all have a little arrogance in that we aren't like so many others out there that would judge a person by the color of their skin instead of the content of their character. Maybe we even attempt to go the other direction a little too much.

That is why I want to point out a few things that often seem to be overlooked, or at least, glossed over in many discussions on the social dynamics of this classic film.

Let's start near the beginning just after Ben has boarded up the windows a little. Barbara has regressed into herself and Ben sits down and begins to tell some of his story; he seems sympathetic for a moment until Barbara speaks. The very moment she mentions that she was with a male (Johnny), Ben's demeanor changes. He doesn't care what happened to her and he goes back to nailing up boards. He doesn't take a minute to listen to her, let her get her feelings out or even try to calm her down. He just starts yelling that she should calm down. When she trys to leave, he clearly manhandles her and when she slaps him, he punches her in the face! It is not a slap to quell hysterics; he full out decks her and once she's on the couch, he opens her coat! One might argue that he was just trying to make her comfortable, as she did mention serveral minutes earlier that she was hot, but he doesnt give her a pillow or do anything else for her including showing any remorse.

When he finds the shoes and gives them to her, it's not so much a touching gesture as it's classic abusive behavior. He is trying to excuse his abuse. Barbara remains submissive so Ben returns to boarding up the house.

Now let's move forward to when Tom and Cooper come up from the celler. Ben's first reaction is not one of, "Hi. Who are you?" or, "Great! More people to help," but an angry lashing out that they didn't come up sooner. His demeanor has once again changed and my personal feeling is that he is pissed off because there are other men in the house now. He immediately goes on the offensive putting Cooper and Tom on the defensive.

This is where the real hero of the first half comes to light. Tom remains calm and tries to mediate between the two alpha males who are both too stubborn to listen to any reason. If Tom is not the hero, he is certainly the true protagonist.

I would also like to point out that during the back and forth between Ben and Cooper, while Cooper says things like, "You're crazy!" and, "That's insane!" he is not really insulting Ben whereas Ben directly calls Cooper stupid and says he is sorry that it's too bad the sick little girl has such a stupid father. In my view, this is a direct insult on more than one level whereas Cooper's comments are more commentary to the situation.

The next scene with the Coopers in the basement is the central point from which I draw my conclusions. It is clear that the Cooper marriage is not a happy one and based on the way the scene is played out, I believe that it is Mr. Cooper who is doing the best he can with what he has while being attacked from all sides. He wants to save his family and is the character most torn. He can't bring his daughter upstairs and the rest of the group won't go downstairs. It is really a no-win situation for him.

I would also like to point out how he refers to Ben, he says there is a man and a woman upstairs, not a colored man or a black man or even the N word but that there is a man upstairs. Even after being told how stupid he is, he gives Ben the basic respect that was not common in 1968! He does go up and watches the TV. He is not real sure about the plan to gas up the truck (he is well aware that not everyone is going to fit in the cab of that little truck), but he goes along with it without arguing and does his part.

Now it may seem like Cooper is the bad guy after the truck fiasco but again, let's break it down. The truck has blown up and Cooper moves to go down to the basement. He hears Ben at the door and he hesitates. He does not continue on down and barricade the celler door; he just hesitates for only about two seconds (time it) when Ben busts in. He then goes and helps Ben reboard up the door. Once that is finished, Mr. Abusive beats Cooper. He Doesn't ask any questions; he just beats the tar out of him. Cooper most likely was not sure what the situation was as he had an obstructed view (based on what we can see in the film, remember that as Ben is making his way back to the house, the camera loses sight of him). All he did know for sure was that the truck blew up. Ben on the other hand stays up by the house and lets Tom make his way to the truck on his own. Ben, the only armed character (with a gun, a torch and a hammer) stands back until after Tom gets into the cab of the truck. Not a very heroic action to me.

This brings us to the fateful fight over the gun. Cooper knows he needs the gun to survive based on the news report they watched which says to shoot the attackers in the head, and to take some of the power away from from the abusive Ben. The ghouls start picking up weapons and breaking their way into the house JUST AS COOPER HAD PREDICTED when Ben drops the gun and Cooper gets it.

The next two actions by Ben and Cooper are the defining actions as protagonist and antagonist. Cooper gets the gun AND BACKS UP!!! He then says, "Go ahead! Go ahead! You wanna stay up here now?" He then motions for Helen to head downstairs, which I think everyone can agree is their only option now. Cooper points the gun away from Ben, trying to tell his wife to get down stairs and Ben attacks, gets the gun, and promply shoots Cooper. It's cold blooded murder. Cooper may have aimed the gun towards Ben but he didn't shoot even though Ben had beaten him previously. Ben point blank murders an unarmed man when he could have just threatened him or hit him with the butt of the rifle. Does he then go to help Helen Cooper who is being grabbed? No. He leaves the room and the women to their fate. Mr. Cooper however stumbles downstairs to die next to his daughter.

Ben, meanwhile, is driven back to where Barbara is and when she is grabbed by Johnnie and turned around, it almost appears as if Ben is pushing them out the door! He is sacrificing her to save himself! This isn't entirely clear though, but it does appear that way. And as the ghouls are breaking in from all over, where does Ben retreat to? The celler that Cooper had fortified! Once down there, what does he do? He shoots Cooper three times even though he had just seen a news report stating to shoot them in the head. He does this out of spite. I say this because he only shoots Helen once. Then, again just as Cooper had said, the rescue party shows up, the remaining ghouls are taken out and Ben, hearing the gun shots (which he certainly heard based on his reaction) goes upstairs but does not call out or wave his arms but instead creeps to the window WITH THE GUN AIMED at the men outside. He has a few seconds before he is spotted and he still does not call out but keeps the gun aimed at the men outside and stays in the shadows. One word from him and the so called "Rednecks" (and just how is the term any different than the "N" word?) would have saved him.

So no I do not think Ben is anywhere near heroic nor do I think he did the best he could with what he had but was simply focused on his own best interest. Which is ok, even understandable, given the situation of the movie. However, I think Cooper has been given the short end of the stick for many years and doesn't really deserve it.

Hearing your great discussion on the film just made me want to share a different viewpoint! Nothing personal so please don't take anything that way. I used to think Ben was the hero until, oh, about the 5000th view of the film and then I started to question it. (Don't get me started on how the ghouls differ from what many people consider typical zombie behavior!) Regardless, it is a fantastic film that holds up very well and can still generate thoughtful debate!

Episode 026

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:32:00 GMT

Brother D and Bren pull out all the unanswered Feedback from the past several weeks, and catch up on all our emails and voicemails. Unfortunately, the movie Outpost didn't show up at Mail Order Zombie Central as expected, so there's no movie review this week, but Brother D does review the score for an upcoming zombie film. The Zombie Aptitude Test is back with a new question, and there are two contests running right now, so listeners have an opportunity to win a handful of DVDs including the movie Hell's Ground, courtesy of TLA Releasing. The Zombie Beat makes its triumphant return with several interesting Zombie Sightings, as well as brief talk about Uncle Romero's potential next project!

This past Friday and Saturday night, Brother D spent his evenings at the Third Annual Zompire, The Undead Film Festival. Three feature films and several short movies later, he reports on the zombie offerings and includes words and thoughts from other festival goers as well. We'd never skip the Zombie Beat, and Brother D actually gets excited about something Richard Rubinstein might be putting together.

Tequila Matt on Souls and Zombies

Thu, 1 May 2008 07:18:00 GMT

Over the last couple of weeks, as Bren' begins her exploration of the zombie genre, you guys have raised several interesting questions. One of them is, "Do zombies have souls?" This could become a deep, metaphysical discussion and it would also change from movie to movie. I had a few brief thoughts to share.

First, on Mail Order Zombie, we seem to be using the baseline on of the Romero zombies as a baseline for judging if the assailants in other films are truly "zombies". This is ironic, since Romero (and Russo) never used the word "zombie" in the original "Night of the Living Dead" film. The basic premise is that the recently dead are becoming re-animated. This is one of the reasons many do not believe the Rage-infected from "28 Days Later/28 Weeks Later" count as zombies. This may also be something to consider about the T-virus zombies of the "Resident Evil" films.

It is this belief that zombies are the re-animated dead which lead many to prefer the slow-moving creatures of the Romero films to the fast-moving creatures from the "Return of the Living Dead" movies or the "Dawn" and "Day" remakes. However, all of these examples still share the attribute that the creatures were either dead, or killed, before re-animating as zombies.

So what is "dead"? This is where the metaphysics begins. Depending on your spiritual, cultural and political background, you'll have a very different definition of "dead". However, people generally agree that when the heart stops beating, the lungs stop breathing and the brain stops working... beyond the point of resuscitation... you are dead. The "life force" leaves the body. The soul is no longer in the shell.

When a zombie is re-an imated, is it re-imbued with a soul? I'm going to stop for a moment to talk about another breed of the undead, vampires. In Joss Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", vampires have no souls. The soul left the body at death and was replaced with a demon. This is how Whedon explained the sentience of the vampire over the zombie. The character Angel (and later Spike) was a vampire whose soul was put back into his undead body. Again, sentience and now conscience in the body of the undead.

From "Dawn of the Dead" on, zombies start to remember things from their lives. They come to the mall because they did so in life. They remember how to use basic tools and eventually guns. They even begin to become self-aware. In the "Return of the Living Dead" films, the zombies can talk and even problem-solve. In the first film, the zombies can use a police radio to tell a dispatcher to send more cops. In the third film, a character learns that pain can stave off the hunger. But does having access to memory equal having a soul?

If someone has amnesia, a total loss of memory, do they still have a soul? Most would answer yes. As long as you are alive, even if you lose your sense of self, you still have a soul. So, your memory, even your personality, is separate from your soul. It is possible to have a soul without memory, therefore it may be possible to have memory without a soul.

While Romero-type zombies don't breathe, they do use their nervous systems, their brains, to move their bodies. This is what makes the brain their weak spot. The electrical activity in the brain that makes it possible for them to sense, move and attack must also be activating the memory centers, at least in some small way, allowing them some awareness of memory.

To summarize, it is my belief that the soul (the spark of life) leaves the body at death . Zombies are re-animated corpses without souls. Some may have access to their memories to varying degrees, but this is as vestigial to a zombie as its heart or lungs. The soul has departed. Just as zombies can eat without gaining sustenance, they can remember without having a soul.

Tequila Matt's ZAT Answer from Episode 12

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 05:15:00 GMT

Howdy Brother D,

I'd like to apologize for the length of this e-mail in advance. While it would seem that this topic should be easy to answer with a few short sentences, you've touched on an area that many zombie enthusiasts love to debate ad nauseum. I even get fired up about it. So, here is what amounts to an essay when a simple e-mail should suffice.

Before I tell you what I think is the ideal weapon to wield during a zombie uprising, I want to first rule out a few popular choices.

Shotgun -- For many, the "boomstick" is the go-to weapon, however it's practical drawbacks are many. First, the shotguns readily available to civilians have a limited ammunition capacity: 2 shells for a double barrel, 4 shells for a stake-out and 6 to 8 shells for a combat shot gun. Stopping to re-load can spell disaster as the zombies descend upon you.

The Saiga-12 is a shotgun based on the AK-47 assault rifle and is available with a 20-round drum magazine, solving the ammunition capacity problem. However, there are still several other issues to consider. While a scatter-gun is useful in a one human versus many zombies in close quarters scenario, it has disadvantages if those conditions change. A shotgun is not precise enough if you have friends our family members in melee with the zombies. Its accuracy over distance is another limitation for many models. If you are going to use a firearm, you want it to be accurate and for it to have range so you can pick off zeds before they get too close.

The largest drawback to shotguns, and guns in general, is noise. While there are different kinds of zombies with different strengths and weaknesses, they all seem to be drawn to noise. The sound of a gunshot can travel for miles. Do you want all of the zombies in your zip code showing up at your door? I would avoid using guns accept as a last resort.

Flame-thrower -- War movies and science fiction such as "Aliens" and "The Thing" have popularized this device which is really more effective for defoliation than as a weapon. It is cumbersome, dangerous to the operator and has a very limited fuel capacity. With apologies to Uncle Romero who suggested zombies fear fire, the Italian Cycle (Argento, Fulci, Mattei) showed us that zombies feel no pain and have no reason to fear fire. In fact, using fire as a weapon against zombies often creates a walking bonfire which can set your home, your car or your whole neighborhood ablaze. Further, Russo and O'Bannon (in the "Return of the Living Dead" series) showed us that burning zombies can spread the cause of the zombification.

Chainsaw -- With apologies to director Sam Raimi and Ashley J. Williams, the hero of the "Evil Dead" series, the chainsaw just isn't good choice. While it is outrageous, even comedic, that Ash has a chainsaw for a hand, there are numerous reasons not to use this as a weapon. How many of us have been rudely awakened on a Saturday morning by a chainsaw in use down the block? The noise could attract more zombies. Then, there's the infectious blood and viscera that you'll be splattering everywhere. Even if the source of zombification isn't biological, there are other bloodborne pathogens to consider. Finally, one slip and you are tearing through your own flesh. Open wounds and limiting injuries are not good things during the zombie apocalypse.

Machete -- Apologies to Cousin Savini, the make-up artist, stuntman and actor who supported many of Romero's efforts, but the machete is also a bad choice. These thin, blunt blades are designed for clearing brush, not for cutting fles h and rending bone. Swing this at a zombie's head or neck and it will get stuck in the wound without doing any real damage to the creature... and you will be without a weapon.

Samurai Sword -- In Feudal Japan, these noble weapons were crafted by artisans and rated by the number of bodies they could slice through in one swing. In modern times, these finely crafted, hardened swords are difficult to come buy and cost thousands of dollars. The collectorsâ items we hang on our walls are not battle-ready. Search YouTube for the video of a salesman on a home-shopping channel demonstrating the strength of a samurai sword by tapping it on the counter-top. The blade snapped in half, flipped back at the salesman and stabbed him in the belly. Not what you want to face a zombie with. Even if you get your hands on a REAL samurai sword, these take skill to wield effectively without injuring ourselves or comrades.

Axe -- So, if we can't use a machete or a sword, how about an axe? These are heavy and unwieldy tools. Thousands, not hundreds, but thousands of people injure themselves with axes every year just chopping wood for fireplaces. A log is not a moving target. A log doesn't have an infectious bite. The dangers of over-swinging are immense. Then, there is still the risk of getting your weapon stuck in the flesh and bone of one zombie while others descend upon you.

Baseball Bat -- If bladed weapons are bad, how about a blunt object? We are on the right track, but a baseball bat is designed for hitting a 5 ounce cork, rubber and leather ball... not a human skull. We've seen both wooden and aluminum bats break after repeated uses... against a 9-inch circumference balls. They wouldn't last very long against skull and pavement.

So, this brings me to my weapon of choice, if I could only arm myself with one weapon in the zombie apocalypse....

A crowbar.

Seriously, a crowbar. I'd arm myself with a non-sparking, 3 or 4 foot crowbar. Non-sparking in case of gas leaks as the human infrastructure breaks down. 3 or 4 feet in length to give me some swinging room, but not too long that it becomes to heavy to carry or that over-swinging can become an issue. No re-load or noise concerns that come with a gun. While there are pointy bits that could be used on vital spots such as eyes and ears, it isn't a bladed weapon that can get stuck in flesh or bone. It is a bludgeoning weapon that will break many bones before it suffers structural fatigue.

When using a crowbar as a weapon, there are several techniques to consider. Of course, the obvious straight strike to the head can be very effective. However, you can also trip or even hobble a zombie by swinging at its knees or ankles. While they do not feel pain, they still rely on the functionality of bones an d joints to walk. A crawling zombie is still a threat, but it is also an easier target. Once on the ground, one can bludgeon the skull or destroy the brain by stabbing through the eyes or ears with the tip of the crowbar.

The crowbar is also a tool, remember. It can be used to pry open locked doors, break padlocks, smash windows and even pop-open the ignition of a car. It is a lever which can be use for many purposes. It can even remove nails for re-use in fortification. Personally, I think no zombie hunter or apocalypse survivor should be without a crowbar.

That said, I still think there is room for knives, guns and other weapons in the zombie survival kit. Some situations call for their use. I just think if you could have only one tool for all situations, it should be a crowbar. Its utility, effectiveness and durability is unmatched.
