Brian Singleton), and Miss Bren sits down with D to watch and talk about Season One of the television series Zombie Hunters: City of the Dead (created by Patrick Devaney, who's featured with producer Chrisopher J. Murphy in an interview from HorrorHound Weekend). Even though Brother D and Miss Bren are taking a break from zombie podcasting, Professor Chad isn't missing a step with his Zombie Aptitude Test and is still take answer for the current ZAT question. Need-a-Nickname Scott is back with the news in the Zombie Beat; the winner of the Zombie Hunters contest is announced; we review your emails and voicemails in the Feedback Discussion . . . we packed a lot into this episode to help tide you over until Mail Order Zombie proper returns in January 2012! |

Need-a-Nickname Scott & Tracey bring us another recording from the Famous Monsters of Filmland from earlier this year. This time around, they bring us the panel devoted to the Dead Letter Award-winning documentary Autopsy of the Dead. If you listen closely, you'll get to hear Scott even ask the panel a question or two (but, oddly enough, he doesn't ask about the naked zombie - go figure). Also, Professor Chad is back with a new Zombie Aptitude Test question for the MOZ Family. |

Our internet connection tried to completely die on us . . .

PLEASE . . . can we stop talking about zombie |
Wed, 10 August 2011

Also, 'dillo prepared a review of the film A Boy and His Dog (dir. L. Q. Jones) (which I say still has one of the best DVD cover art images ever - a smiley face in a mushroom cloud - GOLD!). Mixed into the episode is a bit of post-apocalyptic news, the Post-Apocalyptic Quiz, the Zombie Aptitude Test and a more-musical-than-normal Feedback Discussion. |
Wed, 20 July 2011
We're dipping back into the Crypticon well with Episode 167.5 of Mail Order Zombie. This week, Brother D presents a recording from the Zombies! panel. It was a sort of free-for-all panel that took place Saturday night across the hall from the Saturday night loud-music-and-booze-filled party, so it sounds like there's a LOT more excitement happening in the room than they might have really been. Or not. Listen, and you decide. On the panel were Brother D, Eric Pope, Reverend en Fugue, Steven J. Holetz, Timothy W. Long and Mark Rahner. |
