Mail Order Zombie: Episode 093.5

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Sat, 7 Nov 2009 01:10:00 GMT

Miss Bren and Wayne Kotke spoke for more than the 25-ish minutes it took to review Zombies for Zombies, and thge topics ranged from Disney princess to "Sex and the City." We thought the MOZ Family might get a kick out of hearing a bit of this conversation, and Brother D needed to apologize for a couple of things anyway, so here's a special Mail Order Zombie for y'all!

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 093

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 5 Nov 2009 15:26:00 GMT

Two movies, one book, one iPhone game - this is Episode 93 of Mail Order Zombie, and Brother D and company have Headshots, ratings and discussions for the MOZ Family this week. The movies? 2007's War of the Dead and Night of the Creeps. The iPhone game? Zombieland, reviewed by Need-a-Nickname Scott. The book? Zombies for Zombies: Advice and Etiquette for the Living Dead by David P. Murphy, reviewed by Miss Bren and Wayne Kotke. There is a new Zombie Aptitude Test question introduced at the beginning of this week's show (last month's ZAT answers will be reviewed in next week's show), and in the Feedback Discussion, Miss Bren reveals a dark and terrible secret about her and . . . Chinese Food?

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 092.5

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 06:17:00 GMT

Phantasm Month would not have happened here on Mail Order Zombie if it wasn't for MOZ Family Member Richard from Witchita. He just called in his thoughts on Phantasm IV: Oblivion and the franchise overall, and while he has a somewhat different opinion than Brother D and Need-a-Nickname Scott, we still wanted to share his thoughts with the family. Enjoy!

Uncle Romero on National Public Radio

Sun, 1 Nov 2009 21:10:00 GMT

A number of MOZ Family members have sent me the link to NPR's site spotlighting an almost 10-minute long interview with Uncle George Romero himself. He definitely talks zombies, but in a segment called Not My Job, he also talks Disney movies (which should make Need-a-Nickname Scott doubly happy!).

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 092

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 08:06:00 GMT

Need-a-Nickname Scott calls the antagonist of these movies the Soulsucker of the Universe! It's the end of Phantasm Month here at Mail Order Zombie, and we close out the franchise with a solid like at Phantasm IV: Oblivion, and then Scott joins Brother D for a discussion of the entire franchise (Phantasm Month was the first time Scott had watched these movies). Zombieland gets a little more attention when Chris Toohey, the man behing the upcoming Mail Order Zombie website relaunch, calls in his quick thoughts on the film; and Mathew from Shelbytownship, MI, reports in with another installment of his ABCs of Zombies, this one devoted to Zombieland. Evilution hits DVD on November 17th later this year, and Brother D preps the MOZ Family by reviewing it and giving it a Headshot rating. We've got a contest, we still have this month's Zombie Aptitude Test, or ZAT, question, and we've got Miss Bren joining the show for the week's Feedback Discussion.

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 091

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:17:00 GMT

Phantasm Month continues here on Mail Order Zombie when Brother D takes a critical look at Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead. Not only is reality reshaped by the Phantas films, but the podosphere itself is threatened with not one, but two podcast crossovers. Slug from the Slugcast interviewed Ron Magee and Mitch Brian, the director and writer of Maul of the Dead, the new play from The Coterie Theater. And in one of the strangest podcast crossovers, Brother D reviews the novel Indiana Jones and the Army of the Dead for Mail Order Zombie and the IndyCast. We're still taking answers for the current Zombie Aptitude Test question, and Need-a-Nickname Scott brings the week's select zombie news in the Zombie Beat. Miss Bren joins Brother D for the Feedback Discussion near the end of the show. (The scheduled review of Evilution has been pushed back a week and will appear in Episode 092.)

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 07:23:00 GMT

Phantasm Month continues here on Mail Order Zombie as Brother D reviews the second film in the franchise, Phantasm II. Also, Paul Solet's feature length debut film Grace also takes it Headshots this week when Miss Bren joins Brother D for a review and brief discussion. Episode 90 of Mail Order Zombie also features two survival segments - O'Day is back with a new segment called S.O.S., and Zombie Hunter Tony brings a new installment of Fed in the Land of the Dead. The Feedback Discussion anchors the backhalf of the show, and of course, the show opens with the week's select zombie news in the Zombie Beat. (Will Zombie Beat Cub Reporter Need-a-Nickname Scott return to Mail Order Zombie?) All this, and a Zombie Somba . . . ?

Beyond the Trailer profile: Zombie Movies

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 03:20:00 GMT

This is a few weeks old, but I just stumbled across this on YouTube.

The history-lesson aspect of this is a little light and oversimplistic, and the footage from Michael Jackson's "Thriller" does run a bit long (perhaps at the expense of any zombie movies that were released between the original Night of the Living Dead and the "Thriller" music video), but it was nice to see Hammer's Plague of the Zombies get a little attention.

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 089

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 8 Oct 2009 08:42:00 GMT

(Please excuse our mess at our homepage - the podcast is still up-and-running just fine!) Phantasm Month begins in earnest this week in Episode 89 of Mail Order Zombie! Brother D cracks open his Phantasm box/sphere set to review the first film in the franchise. (Richard from Witchita called in his thoughts on the film, too!) Also in the review queue is the soon-to-be-released (October 27th, 2009) zombie movie Dead Air, directed by Corbin Bernsen and starring Bill Moseley and Patricia Tallman. Writer Glenn Kay - winner of the 2008 Dead Letter Award for Best Zombie Book, Non-fiction for his book Zombie Movies: The Ultimate Guide - swings by to talk zombie movies, compiling his "ultimate" guide and watching Survival of the Dead and [REC] 2. MOZ Family Member Aaron (from The Zed Word: Zombie Blog) also recently saw [REC] 2, and calls in with his thoughts as well.

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 088

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 1 Oct 2009 07:52:00 GMT

Brother D and Miss Bren spent last Saturday at the 3rd Annual Revenant Film Festival, and they took the MOZ Family with them. Okay, not really. But they DID take their microphone, so you'll be able to hear their opening and introduction (and play along with the audience to see if you would have done compared to the Revenant crowd!), and reviews of the movies they watched - ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction, The Hell Patrol, Plague, Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated and Yesterday. Last month's Zombie Aptitude Test answers will be reviewed, and a new ZAT question will be posed to the Mail Order Zombie Family. The Feedback Discussion wraps up the show, and Need-a-Nickname Scott, who really should be in bed, heads up this week's zombie news in the Zombie Beat. (And not only should you stick around through the end of Yesterday for an after-end-credits surprise, but if you listen through the end of this episode, you'll hear Miss Bren's reaction to non-bee pest!)

This movie doesn't need zombies: 'The Hills Run Red'

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 20:53:00 GMT

The Hills Run Red hits DVD September 29, 2009, and I think fans of modern and classic slasher films would be wise to check it out. David J. Schow (who's been a horror screenwriter since the late 80s having been involved with A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child and Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, so he's no stranger to slasher films) is one of the writers, and he brings his familiar horror movie sensibility to the movie in a way that's one part nostalgic, one part familiar and yet still one part fresh. (Schow is joined by writer John Dombrow who both co-wrote the screenplay from a story by producer John Carchietta.)

Tad Hilgenbrink plays Tyler, a young filmmaker who's become obsessed with an 80s horror film that never quite made it to the theaters. The Hills Run Red is the name of the horror film within this horror film (and there's a quick bit of bright dialogue acknowledging that, yes, this is also the name of a Western from the 1960s). Tyler ropes his best friend and girlfriend, Lalo and Serina played by Alex Wyndham and Janet Montgomery respectively, into joining him on his quest, and eventually, they find Alexa, who acted in The Hills Run Red when she was a little girl; now she's grown up and is working at a strip club. Sophie Monk plays Alexa, and she's one to watch in the film. In fact, these four leads all sold their roles believably, and I enjoyed watching the four of them delve deeper into the mystery of this mysterious horror film.

Their search brings them back to the film's original shooting locations, and along the way, we go through a few twists and turns before the final plot point spools onto the screen. There are some surprises I'd like to keep from spoiling; I found most of them to be quite effective.

Babyface is the slasher/subject of The Hills Have Red, both the film within the film and the film itself. He seems to be cut from the Jason Voorhees cloth - he's a hulking figure, stomping through the woods and wearing part of a babydoll's face as a mask. The character's back story is revealed in the opening credits through a creepy and grimy sequence that left me surprised.

Surprise is perhaps the theme of my review of The Hills Run Red. This is a straight-to-DVD offering, and it's a modern day slasher, so if I'm being completely honest, my hopes weren't very high. However, I found myself really enjoying this movie, and I know it's something I'll be going back to for repeat viewings. Director Dave Parker has crafted a movie that's well-conceived, well-paced, and as far as I'm concerned, should be well-received.

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 087.5

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 05:51:00 GMT

Blame the zombies or blame Cthulhu. Whatever the reason, Brother D swapped two voicemails sent in to MOZ Central from the Don't Look in the Podcast crew, and played the wrong one yesterday. Remember in Episode 087 when Brother D and Miss Bren refer to a review of Zone of the Dead? Yeah, THIS is the ACTUAL review! Enjoy the review (and a small Zombie Beat update!)

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 087

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 08:15:00 GMT

Something that hasn't happened in a long time here at Mail Order Zombie happens in this week's episode - you'll have to listen to the four movie reviews to find out what it is! In order, Miss Bren and Brother D review the Jeff Heimbuch movie The Ties That Bind, a short zombie movie based on a Brian Keene short story. Upcoming MOZ webmaster Chris Toohey brings us the first installment of his Couch of the Dead, in which he presents an informal review of the David Decoteau movie Ring of Darkness. Brother D flies solo to review Blood of the Beast, a Georg Koszulinski-directed movie from 2003 featuring clones, zombies and the fall-out of World War III. The big review this week is a review of the movie Zombieland; Brother D and Miss Bren were joined by Zombie Hunter Tony and Headshot Heather for this review and discussion of the upcoming theatrical release. (And if you count the call-in from the Don't Look in the Podcast crew from Horror Realm in which they talk about the movie Zone of the Dead, that gives us a FIFTH review this week!) We still need your answers for the current Zombie Aptitude Test, and in the Feedback Discussion, not only is listener feedback highlighted, but the winners to two contests are announced! Of course, no episode would be complete without the week's select zombie news in the Zombie Beat.

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 086

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 09:34:00 GMT

Episode 86 of Mail Order Zombie has not one, not two, but THREE zombie movie reviews! Brother D reviews Eat Me! from director Katie Carman and O.C. Babes and the Slasher of Zombietown from director Creep Creepersin, and Aaron from the Zedword Zombie Blog brings us a near-exclusive review of Survival of the Dead! Also, Trent Haaga, a writer/producer/actor whose movies have appeared on Mail Order Zombie six times since our launch, swings by for an interview in which he talks about his start with Troma, his time at Full Moon, writing Feeding the Masses and Deadgirl, as well as his experiences attending an Eastern European zombie walk. The answers from last month's Zombie Aptitude Test are reviewed (and remember, we're still accepting answers for this month's ZAT as well!), and Miss Bren joins Brother D during the backhalf of the show for this week's Feedback Discussion. Brother D rocks the Zombie Beat this week, but not without his MOZ news team Need-a-Nickname Scott and his wife Tracey picking out the best of this week's select zombie news.

Counting down to the 2nd Anniversary of the Bonebat Show

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 02:53:00 GMT

Steve and Gord from the Bonebat Show have been great friends of Mail Order Zombie, and we're definitely looking forward for to their milestone 2nd Anniversary Show on September 20th!

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 085

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 09:37:00 GMT

We've gathered movie reviews, interviews and zombie news for Episode 85 of Mail Order Zombie, the only zombie and horror movie podcast based out of the Pacific Northwest! Tempe Entertainment's The Brass Ring, directed by William Schotten, and Zombie Abomination: The Italian Zombie Movie Part 1, directed by Thomas Berdinski, are lined up for their Headshot reviews. Brother D interviews Revenant Magazine's Geoff Bough, and Miss Bren chats with Eric S. Brown, author of Season of Rot and World War of the Dead. We're still accepting answers for the current Zombie Aptitude Test, or ZAT (and last month's ZAT answers will be reviewed next week in Episode 86). We had some very interesting questions posed, and Bren and D spend some time going over everyone's emails and voicemails in the Feedback Discussion in the backhalf of the episode. And pay special attention to the Beat this week - there's a contest or two nestled amongst the week's select zombie news!

August's ZAT Extra Credit entries - Vote now!

Sun, 6 Sep 2009 02:33:00 GMT

The following are the entries from August's Zombie Aptitude Test Extra Credit contest. Please take the survey beneath the pics to help choose a winner! This survey will be open until September 21st, 2009. Good luck to all the entrants!


Marina, the Fire-Eating Mermaid I always make it a point to listen to it on my waterproof iPod while I drown dem sailors...	Clint K. I listen to Mail Order Zombie every week while working. I mow lawns commercially almost every day to help fund my filmmaking. It's kinda hard to tell what I'm doing in the pic because I had to take it myself, but it's me on my lawnmower.

Ghastly Guy Ghastly Guy relaxes on his roof while listening to the latest episode of Mail Order Zombies! While listening he basks in the nippy triple-digit rays of Texas summers and puts away a cold one. Not to mention, while on the roof he's out of the reach of Zombies; making head phones less dangerous!	Jeff M. I love to listen to the podcast at work. I am a Physical Therapist Assistant in a nursing home and the work can become quite stressful, not to mention depressing, sometimes. There's nothing better than putting on the earphones and sitting quietly at the computer to write my patient's notes and listen to you two and the rest of the family while I'm writing. Attached is a photo that I had a co-worker snap of me with some of my "equipment." Yes, those are artificial limbs that three of my patients let me borrow for the shot. Don't worry, the three of them aren't shambling around on one leg while I use their valuable prosthetics for my own pleasure! All three were in bed, resting quietly.

Coffeemug I listen to MOZ while working nights at a local outdoor shopping mall. Yeah, I know security is always the first to go in zombie movies, but here I am at day break.	Coffeemug's workplace

Slug Yes, it's me, Slug. Yes, I was in the shower. Yes, the water was on. Yes, I was only wearing my headphones. No, you can't see any nudity.	Slug (cont'd) Here is a before shower pic...you can see the showerhead.

Michelle M. My family and I went on a little trip this past weekend, and I did a lot of the driving. My iPod and MOZ kept me sane, laughing and awake; and also from driving off of the interstate! So, since you guys were a big part of my weekend, my husband took my picture listening to you in this "strange" place. I won't tell you where it is, but maybe you can figure it out once you take a look at the picture!	Third Coast Zed Well... from May until August of 2008 I enjoyed my MOZ while bombing down the highway on my motorcycle. In desperation, I took a job that was far enough from my shed that I could listen to the entire episode, stop for a quick coffee and still have a few nickels to go on the bike. It was a rough time, but every Friday morning's commute was made better by my MOZ fix. Only thing is, at the time, everyone's favorite living impaired was just beginning to make his presence known, and I would have to slow down from ludicrous speed so I could hear his call.

Zombie Farmer and Timmy I don't know about the coolest place to listen to the show but this might be the most unusual....I listen to MOZ while brushing Timmy's Teeth!	Headshot Heather Sometimes when work has got me stressed, I head up into the mountains for a little target practice & the melodious tones of Brother D & Miss Bren on the Mail Order Zombie podcast.

The Post Script breaks format this week - instead of a book review, Miss Bren interviews Rhiannon Frater, author of the As the World Dies trilogy in this week's show. Brother D brings in two more movie reviews when he casts his Headshot-delivering critical eyes at Clint Keller's Road to Oblivion and the "animagic" special Mad Monster Party. Dr. J is back with a new installment of Med of the Dead, and because it's a new month, there's a new question-of-the-month with the Zombie Aptitude Test. The Feedback Discussion holds down the backhalf of the show (where Wayne Kotke has a special brief message for Brother D), and the Zombie Beat brings in the beginning of the show with the week's selected zombie news courtesy of MOZ Cub Reporter Need-a-Nickname Scott and a special guest.

Dread Media #105 - Part Two of the Summer Knights wrap-up roundtable

Tue, 1 Sep 2009 06:32:00 GMT

On Monday, August 31, Episode #105 of Dread Media hit the podosphere at http://www.dreadmedia.net. In addition to some guy named Brian Keene appearing on that show, Brother D joins Desmond Reddick for Part Two of the Summer Knights wrap-up/roundtable!

Zombie Farmer's Timmy as Jason Voorhees

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 06:53:00 GMT

During the Feedback Discussion of Episode 83, we heard from Zombie Farmer and Timmy. In their message, Timmy mentioned swinging by MOZ Central, and we have a picture of what he looked like when he got here!

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 083

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 06:54:00 GMT

It all comes down to this - the final week in the Summer Knights event! In Episode 83 of Mail Order Zombie, Brother D reviews the fourth Blind Dead film, Night of the Seagulls. In Episode 104 of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick also reviewed the film, and together, Brother D and Des discuss the franchise as a whole. Part 1 of this discussion takes place in MOZ #83, and Part 2 will take place in Dread Media #105 (you are listening to Dread Media at http://www.dreadmedia.net/, aren't you?). Also this week, Mark E. Poole's Dead Moon Rising gets the Headshot Review treatment when Brother D reviews a movie that was donated to the show by a generous member of the Mail Order Zombie Family (you can donate movies to the show, too, by visiting http://tinyurl.com/mozwish/!). Answers for the current Zombie Aptitude Test are still being collected (and remember - there is a contest attached to the ZAT this week, and you could win a Mail Order Zombie prize pack!). Emails and voicemails from the MOZ Family bring Miss Bren to the table for the Feedback Discussion (and one voicemail left by long-time-listener-first-time-caller Zombart made its way into this week's select zombie news in the Zombie Beat!).

This movie doesn't need zombies: 'Big Man Japan'

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 05:03:00 GMT

Big Man Japan, also known as Dai-Nipponjin, is an overly long near-mockumentary following DaisatÃ, a lonely superhero who's fallen out of favor with the general public. Directed by Hitoshi Matsumoto, who also stars in the film as DaisatÃ, the superhero with a low publicity rating, Big Man Japan presents its story in a fashion similar to the television show "The Office." A shoulder-mounted camera follows DaisatÃ through his routine-filled life, and occasionally, monsters show up to threaten the country. When this happens, DaisatÃ nonchalantly reports to one of a handful of facilities scattered throughout Japan, has electricity pumped into his body through some clips attached to his chest, and grows to Godzilla-like stature to battle the offending and similarly-sized monster.

And afterward? He spends some time cooling down/moping until he shrinks back down to normal size and continues with his mundane existence until the next monster comes along.

Matsumoto co-wrote the movie with Mitsuyoshi Takasu, and while some of the storytelling style has an improved âthat-just-happenedâ feel, the story is quite tight and at times, poignant. DaisatÃ comes from a line of heroes who have, throughout history, called themselves âBig Man Japanâ and done battle against various kaiju threats over the years. At one point, the hero was worshipped, but these days, the people of Japan donât look upon their national hero with any sense of hero worship. The budgetâs been cut, and even the government doesnât give their hero the support or respect once reserved for Big Man Japan. The scene in which the customary ceremony that takes place before DaisatÃâs transformation into Big Man Japan is particularly telling â it takes place in a cluttered government office of some sort, and even the documentary crew seem a bit disrespectful as they have no problem interrupting the ritual and asking them to start over so they can get a better camera shot.

As for Big Man Japan himself, heâs a CG creation. Every monster in the movie is. Sometimes they look okay; sometimes they look like something out of a video game cut scene. I understand not wanting to rely on having an actor wear a rubber suit or creating a miniature city for actors to destroy, and most of the monsters Big Man Japan fights are just un-humanoid enough that it would have been difficult to create a prosthetic make-up effect/suit that would not have blown the credibility and the reality presented in the rest of the movie.

Overall, the movie runs a bit long. While the scenes featuring DaisatÃ do serve their purpose, they sometimes threaten to bore the audience. Additionally, the monster-fighting scenes do run a bit short, but the focus of this movie is not on kaiju-fighting; it is on DaisatÃâs dreary existence as a government superhero whose country would rather forget about him.

This movie needs zombies: 'Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of America'

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 22:34:00 GMT

There's art house and then there's art school, and Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of America is neither. Tony Stone is the writer/director behind the movie, and I have to be completely honest â I donât quite understand what his point was. I mean, itâs not like the movieâs incomprehensible. I get it. Itâs not hard to follow. Vikings show up on the shores of Greenland, a couple of them get left behind, and . . . heavy metal plays in the background.

Severed Ways isnât necessarily an experimental movie â thereâs a semblance of narrative here. And itâs easy to follow, especially since we have Chapter title cards guiding us through the film. Why we have Chapter marks in the movie itself I donât quite understand, but in case youâre having trouble following along, or if you a writer/director whoâs having a hard time connecting story sequences, I suppose theyâre helpful.

I'd like to mention what I liked about the movie. It looks great. The minimalist production design succeeds in making the woods and coast of modern-day Maine look like the 11th century Greenland the Vikings would have encountered. And the cinematography is fantastic. I fully expected to see someoneâs sleeve dart in front of the camera to wipe the mist off the lens because everything had a nice, foggy and desaturated look that helped to transform this independent production that under most circumstances would be nearly unwatchable into something that was at least interesting to view.

Just turn down the volume. The movieâs gimmick . . . er, soundtrack is made up of songs from Popol Vuh, Judas Priest and Burzum. I understand the connection between Vikings and Norwegian death metal, as tenuous as the connection might be, but to drop Morbid Angelâs 'Desolate Ways' into a movie that the filmmakers are obviously trying to present in a somewhat realistic sense didnât seem to make sense. Stone takes great care in presenting how real, or as the DVD cover tells us, how âgrittyâ the Vikingsâ reality was, but the inclusion of this music made the movie feel like a long experimental music video.

Whether Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of America is a long music video or a gritty historical epic, including a scene in which one of the characters defecates and then wipes himself with the available foliage does nothing to make the movie interesting or worth your time.

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 082

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 09:06:00 GMT

Week 82 of Mail Order Zombie brings you Week Three of Summer Knights, the crossover event between Mail Order Zombie and Dread Media during which each of Amando de Ossorio's Blind Dead films are reviewed on both shows. This week, Brother D reviews the third film of the series, The Ghost Galleon. Also, Brother D takes a look at the upcoming anthology horror movie Grave Mistakes, coming soon from direct Chris LaMartina. The current Zombie Aptitude Test has a contest attached to it, and the winner will receive a Mail Order Zombie prize pack. You want more reviews? How about a review of the videogame Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad, courtesy of Saint Nasty? And how about this? The Post Script is back; Miss Bren reviews the book The Estuary by Derek Gunn. Mathew from Shelbytownship, Michigan, hits the MOZ Family with another installment of his ABCs of Zombies, and the Feedback Discussion takes up the backhalf of the show (and during the discussion, Miss Bren learns something about her buzzing nemeses!). And before all this, we get a report from the Zombie Walk from Gen Con 2009! (And check out Need-a-Nickname Scott and Tracey at the Zombie Walk here - http://tinyurl.com/naov4n . . . !)

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 08:31:00 GMT

It's been awhile since we've done one of these! In this episode of MOZ Presents: The Munchies, Brother D goes over a number of movies in a series of quick reviews (House, Eden Lake, The Alphabet Killer, Bled, Gothkill, Frankenhood and Stuck). Miss Bren joins him for two more in depth reviews of the movies Eden Log and The Mutant Chronicles, and then a special guest drops by to announce the winners of the Anacondas: Trails of Blood DVD contest.

Take a break from zombies with 'Dexter: The Third Season'

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 04:46:00 GMT

Dexter: The Third Season hits DVD tomorrow (8/18/09), and Mail Order Zombie wants to help you keep on your toes! Sure, you may watch a lot of zombie movies, but will that help you against a run of the mill serial killer? Not that Dexter is "run of the mill," of course!

To enter this contest, email your name and mailing address to MailOrderZombie@gmail.com. Winners will be determined next week on August 24th! We have three copies of Dexter: The Third Season to give away - good luck!

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 081

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 08:08:00 GMT

Recorded in the Pacific Northwest and available for download around the world, Episode 81 of Mail Order Zombie is filled with zombies, undead Templar knights, guest appearances and . . . food? This is the second week of Summer Knights, which means Brother D is reviewing the second film in Amando de Ossorio's Blind Dead series, Return of the Evil Dead (along with Desmond Reddick at Dread Media at http://www.dreadmedia.net). Illwy Productions' Of the Living Dead is also reviewed this week. The answers from July's Zombie Aptitude Test question are finally shared with the Mail Order Zombie Family, and remember, this month's ZAT question has an opportunity to earn you extra credit with a contest! Zombie Hunter Tony's new segment Staying Fed in the Land of the Dead makes its debut this week, and Corey Graham from the Midnight Podcast joins Brother D for the first part of a two-part mini-roundtable in which they answer questions from the MOZ Family and listeners of the Midnight Podcast. Miss Bren and Brother D end the episode with another healthy round of Feedback Discussion.

Help find 'Siege of the Dead' for Brother D!

Sun, 2 Aug 2009 08:17:00 GMT

We live in a wonderful technological age. The Internet can help put movie enthusiasts in contact with movie makers and movie suppliers; nearly every cinematic craving can be met be filled with a bit of time, research, patience and communication.

Except for Siege of the Dead.

Brother D heard about this movie from a friend at a film festival a few years ago, and has since then been trying to find it for himself. He's been told it's a great no-budget independent movie, but the moviemakers are no longer selling it online. The production company's website is no more, and the only clip Brother D has seen of the movie is the trailer on YouTube.

Initial attempts at contacting anyone involved in the movie have not been productive, but we're not giving up! Mail Order Zombie family - do any of YOU have this movie? Brother D would really like to see it - not necessarily to review on the show (although that would probably happen!), but to finally see it for himself!

Can you help hook a Brother up?

Sun, 2 Aug 2009 01:13:00 GMT

The Video Dead is a zombie movie that's never had a proper DVD release, and in this day and age of distributors finally starting to release the films that have been gathering dust in their vaults, someone's trying to make sure The Video Dead doesn't continue to gather that dust!

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 079

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 08:33:00 GMT

It's Zombie Movie Veterans' Week here at Mail Order Zombie Central! Larry Purtell, veteran zombie movie actor (Zombie Campout, Die-Ner (Get It?), Dozers, Zombie Ed), drops by for an interview with Brother D and answers the question: "How does one go from acting in church plays to wrangling zombies?" (Mr. Purtell was very generous with his time, and has sent Mail Order Zombie several photos from his time working on Zombie Campout as well as at the Silo X Haunted Attraction, and throughout the week, these pics will turn up on MailOrderZombie.com.) Another zombie movie veteran - Trent Haaga - also gets a little love this week when Brother D reviews 2002's Dead & Rotting (he appears in front of the camera in this one!) and the upcoming release Deadgirl (he wrote this one!). Miss Bren hits the backhalf of the show for a massive Feedback Discussion in which the [REC] vs. Quarantine conversation continues, we talk about Swan Song a bit more, and there's news about Phantasm II.

(Brother D and Miss Bren also appeared on Dead Lantern's World Famous Splattercast this week in Episode 141 to discuss the Mad Max franchise. Brother D also joined Desmond Reddick to discuss the film scores of Clive Barker in Episode 100 of Dread Media.)

Mail Order Zombie and the Midnight Podcast need your questions ASAP!

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:41:00 GMT

Mail Order Zombie and the Midnight Podcast are teaming up for a crossover mini-roundtable Q&A, and while Corey and Brother D can certainly sit and just stare at each other for half an hour, it might be more fun for the listeners to participate by submitting their own questions to be bandied between the two of them!

If youâve ever wanted to know what these two titans of zombie movie knowledge think, email your questions now to MailOrderZombie@gmail.com. This recording is happening Saturday, August 1st, so we need your questions ASAP.

Coreyâs posting a similar call for questions at his website. Hereâs the twist - Brother D isnât going to see the questions Corey gathers and Corey isnât going to see the questions Brother D gathers, so the answers will come as fast and furious as a 28 Days-style zombie. (Thatâs right. We called them zombies. What?)

We canât promise weâll get to all the questions if we get a lot, but weâll certainly try!

This is gonna rock, yâall!

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 078

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 07:52:00 GMT

Where else are you going to go to hear about a zombie opera? No where but Episode 78 of Mail Order Zombie. Brother D and Miss Bren attended Maelstrom: The Zombie Opera last weekend, and they bring you a review of the production as well as interviews with the cast and crew. (Mail Order Zombie would like to thank Reed Reimer, Ben Larson, Nico Izambard, Viktor Maddok, Damien Brooksbank, Claire Craig-Sheets, Anna Viemester, Jeremy Griffin, Bryan Coover and the staff of the Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center for hosting us and giving us a moment of their time.) Maelstrom: The Zombie Opera runs through July 25th, 2009. Also this week, in Miss Bren's Post Script, she reviews the short zombie novel Dead Earth: The Green Dawn by Mark Justice and David T. Wilbanks. Movie-wise, Brother D reviews the Joseph D. Smith zombie movie Zombie Campout from 2003. Answers for the July Zombie Aptitude Test are still due, and in the Feedback Discussion, the movies [REC] and Quarantine get a little more discussion . . . among other things.

'Maelstrom: The Zombie Opera' - GO SEE IT!

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 04:16:00 GMT

If you're in the Pacific Northwest, and you're a zombie movie fan, you owe it to yourself to see Maelstrom: The Zombie Opera at the Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center in Portland, OR. We'll be covering this in Episode 78 (with interviews!), but the show only runs one more weekend - July 23rd, 24th and 25th - so if you're interested, and you're in the area, you need to see Maelstrom.

You can learn more about Maelstrom: The Zombie Opera at http://www.zombieopera.net.

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 077

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 08:51:00 GMT

Episode 77 marks a milestone for us here at Mail Order Zombie - can you guess what it is before Brother D fails to keep anyone in suspense and mentions what the milestone is less than one minute into this week's show? Speaking of suspense, Miss Bren and Brother D sat down to watch [REC] from directors Jaume BalaguerÃ and Paco Plaza, and then Brother D reviewed the Blaine Cade and Jason Horton directed upcoming zombie apocalypse movie Edges of Darkness. One of these two movies made Brother D jump. You'll have to listen to the reviews to find out which one. O'Day is back with Part Two of his Undead Combat series in MOZ's Survival Tips, and this time around, he goes over the use of firearms in a world overrun by the undead. After Need-a-Nickname Scott joins Jay Emmitt for this week's Zombie Beat, he poses a question to the MOZ Family; Brother D has a question of his own; and of course, there's the Zombie Aptitude Test question as well! The show runs a bit long this week because Miss Bren and Brother D tried to squeeze in as many emails and voicemails as possible in this week's Feedback Discussion, and Wayne Kotke does it again - we'll just leave it at that.

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 076

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 9 Jul 2009 07:16:00 GMT

It's finally happened! Mail Order Zombie tackles an Asian zombie movie! Versus, directed by RyÃhei Kitamura, gets more than the review treatment - both Brother D and Miss Bren watched the film and discuss it at length in this episode. And because Brother D couldn't get enough samurai sword action, he also reviews Ninjas vs. Zombies from writer/director Justin Timpane. This month's Zombie Aptitude Test question, the weekly Feedback Discussion and a chunk of zombie news in the Zombie Beat round out this episode. Hang on!

Mail Order Zombie: Episode 075 (Minus Roundtable #001)

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Mon, 6 Jul 2009 01:38:00 GMT

(There's also been a request to release Episode 075 without the Roundtable attached, and since we aim to please . . . Here it is!)

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.

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

MailOrderZombie@gmail.com — Thu, 21 May 2009 10:02:00 GMT

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.)

'[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. Accompanying the firefighters to a nearby apartment, the news team begins recording the bloodcurdling screams coming from inside an elderly woman's unit. 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.

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)

'Let the Right One In' coming to DVD and Blu-ray March 10th

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. Additionally, the winners of the Death Race DVDs are announced.

'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).

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!

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.
