That's a GREAT idea but maybe ya need to put something like what network or channel and state example: Scifi channel 65 at 9:00 o'clock Pennsylvania for instance. What do ya think? Is Zone Horror a station?

I recorded Zombie Island Massacre a few weeks ago (when it was called The Horror Channel ... "Zone Horror" is so gay, at least call it "Horror Zone", geez!) ... still haven't gotten around to watching it though and probably never will, just another one added to the collection, ha!

[Deadman_Deluxe]

Cool thread! Can i have some rep now please? ;)

[DjfunkmasterG]

Shaun of the Dead is on HBO ONDEMAND all this month. So if you have a US cable provider with ONDEMAND, then you can watch Shaun of the Dead.

[KingStoph]

i got that film sitting on my Sky+ box and havnt got round to watching lol :D


AND!! Zombies on TV..

BIG BROTHER!! There all midless retards lol! :p

[MinionZombie]

For those that ain't seen yet, Land of the Dead is now showing on Sky Movies (UK). Started tonight at 10pm on ch301, so expect to see it trotting out every now and then up until at least Christmas.

Shame they only gave it 2 stars, but then again, whoever rates the movies literally has absolutely no idea what they're doing. Some utter shockers have gotten 4 and actual, genuine cinematic classics have shuffled in with 2. So ignore Sky's piss-poor reviewing techniques, and chillax to some 21st century GAR!

For those of you who enjoy the Evil dead films and live in the UK. Evil dead 2 is on the Sci-Fi channel tonight at i think 22:00.

I have this on video but have never seen it, so im sure i wont be watching tonight either.

[MinionZombie]

You haven't seen Evil Dead 2?! :eek:

Damnit man, don't waste anymore time, see it! You've seen Evil Dead 1 right? :dead:

[bassman]

I haven't seen "Evil Dead 2", either.:shifty:

*runs for cover*

[scotty Boy]

You haven't seen Evil Dead 2?! :eek:

Damnit man, don't waste anymore time, see it! You've seen Evil Dead 1 right? :dead:

*Gulps* no i havent. But if its highly recomended i shall watch it either tonight or tommorow. Its been sitting on my shelf for a couple of years and i haent even thought about watching it. So shameful i know

[MinionZombie]

*head falls off*

My GAR ... how can you people live with yourselves?! :eek:

If you've seen Evil Dead, that's basically 100% horror. Evil Dead 2 is basically 50/50 horror/dark comedy and Evil Dead 3 is basically 20/80 horror/dark comedy.

Evil Dead 2 is a rather enjoyable film, classic Bruce Campbell and old school Sam Raimi, watch it tonight, make a night of it.

[scotty Boy]

Horror Channel for UK at 22:45 (10 mins) Death valley : the revenge will be shown

Plot Outline: When a group of college kids stumble upon a small abandoned town of Sunset Valley, they must fight a band of Zombies led by a Confederate soldier seeking retribution for his grisly execution.


EDIT:

The same movie is on again tonight at about the same time. I watched it last night and to be honest it was nothing special. Kind of like children of the dead on a desert town.

Anyway if you watch it i hpe you enjoy it

Woe is me.

[ghostzombie]

This Friday, 2/23 at 8p.m. on CBS, "Ghost Whisperer" staring hottie Jennifer Love Hewitt features a ghost possesing a dead person and gong to prom. Sounds like fun. Biff from back to the future is also in it, but not as a zombie.

Thanks for the "heads up" I love that show. I did see previews it does look doesnt it? This show is worth watching!!

I have yet to watch this hsow, although it does sound cool. Is it scary?

And BIFF??

Wow...

What has he been up to all these years.

I'll IMDB it right now, lol.

:skull:

[panic]

Check out LIFELESS (http://www.lifelesstheseries.com/), an in-production zombie TV series. Trailer looks quite promising.

/panic

[raym]

Lifeless looks awesome!

Didn't I actually hear that the first zombie series is being made by Fangoria? Something about a SWAT team that specializes in zombie-killing.

[LivingDeadBeat]

Zone Horror can be quite good at times, but some of the films on it are just terrible. I have quite a lot of zombie films on DVD so I'm not missing anything if any of the Dead series are on.

[MissJacksonCA]

Not that i'm not totally excited about the possibility of a zombie tv series I just wonder if it will actually make it to my television... aaaaaand of course the teaser kinda sounded a bit like that book 'august' and sounded a bit like a mix of zombie movies past...

The Flesh Eaters -- On AMCtv
Sat Oct 20 @ 3:45AM | 2:45C
Sun Oct 28 @ 5:15AM | 4:15C

Although not a Z movie, Romero is quoted as saying that "The Flesh Eaters" was one of the major influences he had while writing NOtLD.

More info on The Flesh Eaters (http://movies.amctv.com/movie?showID=MV000054850000&title=The%20Flesh%20Eaters&pageNav=synopsis)

Sun Oct 28 @ 1AM | 12C
Sun Oct 28 @ 9AM | 8C


This is the original version of "The Fog." To some, it's a ghost story, but to me, they're salty zombies. Worth checking out to see Adrienne Barbeau and Jamie Lee Curtis.

There are lots of other great horror films playing this month on AMCtv. I didn't want to be off-topic, so I'm posting the link below:

I highly recommend The Flesh Eaters. No doubt that this movie along with the 1963 Japanese horror film Matango were the unlikely inspiration for Gilligan's Island. Just look at each film's cast of shipwrecked characters:

Matango: a skipper, a first mate, a millionaire, a pop singer (movie star), a professor, the professor's student (the girl next door), and a writer.

The Flesh Eaters: a skipper (a pilot), a movie star, the movie star's assistant (the girl next door), a professor, and a beatnik (who happens to look exactly like Gilligan).

The Flesh Eaters didn't pull many punches when it came to imaginative gory deaths. One guy is tricked into eating the flesh-eating bacteria which burns its way out of his stomach in viscous black & white photography.

Believe it or not, another highly gory film for its time is 1964's Horror of Party Beach. Check it out.

G4TV to "Remix" NOTLD to Night of the Tripping Dead (10-31-2007)


"Night of the Tripping Dead" is a remixed, overdubbed version of the original NOtLD.

It's similar to "Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D," if you're familiar.

Funny funnies.

There's video here:

Clipped from G4TV:

G4 Presents Fright Night!

Hey you... yeah, in the clothes, with the teeth... BOO! We gotcha, didn't we? Good. So, look here, 'fraidy pants. G4 has something special planned for you. It’s called Fright Night and it’s coming this Halloween!

The night begins with a special seasonally-themed Attack of the Show. Then, X-Play brings you an all-new spooky episode, followed by their popular, “Scariest Games of all Time” installment.

Don't think the scares stop there. See G4's reworking of George Romero’s classic horror film, Night of the Living Dead, which we’re calling Night of the Tripping Dead! It should really set your skin all a-tingle. For those of you who haven't died of fright at that point, we offer a unique inside look into a master of horror’s work with Icons: Eli Roth.

So, get your candy and check out Fright Night this Halloween. It all starts at 7 PM ET.

By the way, if you missed last year's 2006 Halloween LIVE Night of the Living Dead G4TV special, you missed something cool. However, G4 has clips up for your viewing enjoyment:

So a year+ on, I assume 'Lifeless' is dead!? :(

Well, it may still be alive, but there's been no news about it for a year now...

[Bub666]

Well, it may still be alive, but there's been no news about it for a year now...

If there hasn't been any news on it for a year,it's dead.

[panic]

There's some hope. They recently tweaked their homepage ... AGAIN ... although no new content, it seems there webmaster is still ALIVE and kicking.

[darth los]

They're showing Gangs of the DEAD on the movie channel tonight at 11:30.

[Bub666]

They're showing Gangs of the DEAD on the movie channel tonight at 11:30.

I'am going to record it,and watch it later.But it looks like it's going to be bad.

I just got done watching Gangs of the DEAD,and it was horrible.Why am I not surprised?

[DawnGirl27]

Bub, saw Gangs of the Dead in the video rental store a couple days ago, and the cover art turned me off. Glad to know I didn't miss anything...

As posted on this site, there were rumors about a new t.v series based around the films of the living dead series. These rumors were actualy true but has anyone heard anymore about it ? ie has filming begun ? is there still going to be any made ? if so when is it due for release ?:sneaky:

GREAT NEWS!!!!!

Not sure if this has already been posted here but Robert Kirkman's awesome comic "The Walking Dead" has just been picked up to be turned into a TV series for the channel AMC. "Shawshank Redemption" director Frank Darabond has been put in charge to adapt the comic to TV.
Here's a link to the article:
http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/article6796372.ece

The comic is simply brilliant and IMO the best comic going right now. This is MAJOR news for zombie fans.

WOW! You should start a devoted thread to this! I bet Frank Darabont will do an awesome job with this.

[Rottedfreak]

I hope The Walking Dead isn't a adaptation, I think a mini series featuring the exploits of various characters preceding the comic would be better, they have some interesting backgrounds.
If it is a adaptation, some of the stuff might not fly like Andrea, Dale and Rick may be pristine from bloody encounters, Otis being a racist may be unnacceptable, Lori AND Judy may escape woodbury's massacre and Rachel, susie and Tyreese may meet gentler ends.
also The Walking Dead should only be a subtitle if it's about a new set of characters in another corner of the world.

[MurderHappyGoul]

has anyone heard about AMC FearFest '09 showing a "digitally restored" version of NOTLD68 for the first time on Halloween several times in a row starting at 6pm. which version are they airing?

[kidgloves]

Death Valley was on MTV last night.

http://www.mtv.com/shows/death_valley/series.jhtml

Exactly as expected. Not very good but i did chuckle a few times so i'll keep watching.

I think my tastes are getting worse as i get older :stunned:
