Vault of Horror

I once modified this awesome Vault of Horror comic cover and got it printed on a t-shirt. I was very popular with my friends. Alas girls gave me the skwonky eye!

My friend Muttly and I used to watch tons of zombie films before he got married and skidaddled off to New Zealand (where a lot of the cool zombie flicks come from). We used to get Chinese food and watch these cool cult films and we had great philosophical conversations about them and debated certain aspects of the characters etc… I actually learned a lot about life from watching these zombie movies, for a horror film to be a zombie movie there needs to be certain aspects in the film, I’m not talking about the walking dead people, that’s a given, there needs to be a group of people running for their lives, one must be the reluctant hero and someone else (usually the boyfriend of one of the three women) has to be the arrogant, selfish, all-for-himself, ego maniac whose stupidity and spite gets the group almost killed. He usually gets munched by one of the living dead and we all cheer. Then there needs to be the cool guy who gets killed cos this is a tragedy. Then there has to be a quick sex scene or a flash of boobies, usually the booby flasher is killed (also must be blond). Then the reluctant hero and the last surviving chick end up running around for awhile until the movie ends in disaster or our hero gets flung back in time or the disease gets cured by daisies or something. Now you are probably wondering how this has taught me anything about life, well, if there ever was a zombie holocaust it has taught me that real friends kill friends who become zombies. ALL my friends would kill me therefore it has taught me that I have good friends. Friends are cool!

My top five zombie movies (please note that some of these films are not classed as pure zombie for they might lack the essential elements, but who cares, these films rock my balls!):

1.) Evil Dead 2
2.) 28 Days Later
3.) Brain Dead
4.) Bubba Ho-Tep
5.) Dawn of the Dead
