October 2001: Month of the Living Dead
Might as well devote an entire month to shambling reanimated corpses, since when they resuscitate, they usually do it in large numbers. Note: We’re talking only for-real zombies here. No mummies, no vampires, no mind-control victims, no later Peter Cushing roles. Just the honestly dead who won’t take a dirt nap.
Movies watched as part of the festival:
- Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things (1972)
- Dead Alive (1992)
- The Dead Don’t Die (1974)
- The Dead Next Door (1989)
- The Dead Pit (1989)
- The Fog (1980)
- Legion of the Night (1995)
- Psychomania (1971)
- Return of the Living Dead, Part 2 (1988)
- Zombie Lake (1980)
