Do the Zombie-Thon: A Seasonal Video Release Guide!

From comedies to thrillers, the gambit of zombie-themed videos is varied this year. Some titles may seem cringe-worthy but others will bring on some cheerleader style thrills. At least most fans will want to flock towards purchasing the seminal release of "The Walking Dead" series that's redefining television:

"The Walking Dead" Season Two Limited Edition Set

In case fans have not heard, this ultimate Blu-ray set comes packaged inside a sculpted zombie head case that is designed by Greg Nicotero and created by McFarlene Toys.

Available here: The Walking Dead on Blu-Ray at Amazon

Juan of the Dead
Director/writer: Alejandro Brugués.
Cast: Alexis Díaz de Villegas, Jorge Molina, Andrea Duro, and Andros Perugorría.

When Havana begins to fill up with zombies, Juan, a 40-year-old slacker, is forced to become a hero, defend his country and protect his own on an island that has turned into a real bloodbath.

Mourning Wood

Director: Ryan Convery.
Writers: Zack Brown, Ryan Clark, Ryan Convery, Marc Guild, Ed Gutierrez, and Erik Johnson.
Cast: Nick Brown, Zack Brown, Michael Carra, Ryan Clark, and Ryan Convery.

Sometimes the groans a victim might hear may well be a sound of pleasure. The play on words will get some zombie aficionados groaning and maybe even curious about this product. This zombie comedy might work, but be prepared for plenty of toilet humour that may well need to be flushed.

Steve Nile's Remains
Director: Colin Theys.
Writers: John Doolan, and Steve Niles.
Cast: Miko Hughes, Grant Bowler, Lance Reddick, Tawny Cypress, and Evalena Marie.

Based on the IDW Publishing graphic novel written by Steve Niles (30 Days Of Night), Remains follows the survivors of a bizarre accident that reduced most of the world’s population to zombies. The group takes refuge in a vacant casino and fights a losing battle against the undead.



Walking Dead Origins: The Zombie Movie Collection

All the originals, like Night of the Living Dead, The Last Man on Earth and Dead People, is put together in this compilation for fans to enjoy.



Zombie A-Hole
Director/writer: Dustin Mills.
Cast: Jessica Daniels, Josh Eal, and Brandon Salkil.

Described as Planet Terror meets Sin City meets The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, this product has a lot going for it. Technically, this movie is an exploitation flick with a Southern Gothic flair!



Available here: Zombie A-Hole on DVD at Amazon

Zombie Babies

Director/writer: Eamon Hardiman.
Cast: Rob Cobb.

When a local entrepreneur advertises a new, painless late-term abortion method, a group of couples flock to his hotel to take advantage. During their retreat, a freak accident re-animates the fetuses, filling them with a desire for vengeance and a taste for human flesh.


Zombies vs. Strippers
Director: Alex Nicolaou.
Writers: Nick Francomano, Alex Nicolaou, and Kent Roudebush.
Cast: Circus-Szalewski and Eve Mauro and Victoria Levine.

Yes, another stripper cum zombie exploitation flick is set to delight a new generation. These days, the similar titles makes it hard to tell one product over another. This latest product is by Full Moon Entertainment.

But some viewers have to bear in mind there is also another movie called Zombie Strippers, which features Jenna Jameson, and Zombies, Zombies, Zombies (aka Strippers vs Zombies) with Tiffany Shepis in the lead. The joke of who came first in this sub-genre of films has to be brought up.

Available here: Zombies vs. Strippers at Amazon

Zombie Undead

Director: Rhys Davies.
Writer: Kris Tearse.
Cast: Ruth King, Kris Tearse, Barry Thomas, and Christopher J. Herbert.

When a bio-terrorist weapon turns a densely populated city into a massive zombie pit, not many survivors are going to live. Sarah, on the other hand, is determined to save her father, but at what cost?
