2010's Zombie Zoology
ZOMBIE ZOOLOGY, an anthology by Severed Press, is no ordinary zombie anthology. There are no human zombies here….it’s all Mother Nature’s finest creatures hungry for the taste of flesh. If you’ve ever wondered what happened to the animals during a zombie apocalypse, wonder no more. From a failed NASA experiment on the old Skylab, to a boy and his horse, as well as a pet goat that won’t die, there’s something here for everyone.
The first story in the anthology and one of my favorites is MONKEY HOUSE by Tim Curran. The Necros-3 virus has killed off and then reanimated two-thirds of the world’s population, but through the efforts of the military and scientists creating an anti-viral for the survivors, people are starting to come out of hiding and are talking about rebuilding. Emma and Gus have managed to survive in their fortified home and Emma is ready to move on to Ft. Kendrix even if it means leaving Gus behind. What they discover, to their horror is the virus has apparently jumped species and everyone forgot about the Primate Research Center. This is a great story, and the end is priceless.
Another Favorite of mine is ONE MAN AND HIS DOG by Wayne Goodchild. While doing a job at the Kelson house exterminator Burt finds a large pale cockroach that he thought was too beautiful to kill. He spared it and found that the three-inch bug was smart and ate other bugs—providing Burt with a chemical free way to run his exterminating business. Connor, Burt’s only employee wasn’t so sure. They soon discover that this is no ordinary roach and eradicating other bugs is not what it has in mind. This story really freaked me out along with THE ROO by Anthony Wedd about a couple of travelers in the Outback whose car accident expose them to something horrifying; and SWAT by Brian Pinkerton about a SWAT team sent into Clarkson in the swamps of Louisiana to control a zombie outbreak that they soon find is being spread by mosquitoes. All three of these stories gave me the creepy-crawlies and they’ll do the same for you.
One other story I liked but found very disturbing is DEAD DOG TIRED by Anthony Giangregorio. Rufus’ wife divorced him because he abused her but he fought her in court for custody of her beloved pit bull and won. To punish his ex-wife for leaving him, Rufus allows the dog to starve to death over a period of four days and even enjoys it. Now I despise anyone who abuses a dog and reading this story really bothered me…even after the dog becomes reanimated. Anthony Giangregorio gets total props for making me uncomfortable while reading his story.
I didn’t care for WHY THE WILD THINGS ARE by Carl Barker, only because I didn’t think it flowed as well as the other stories. A story about local wildlife turning into zombies and the government’s response, I found myself losing interest while reading about how it happened via a newspaper article along with the main character (he’d read it repeatedly). I also wasn’t crazy about THE YULE CAT by Ted Wenskus about a story told about a cat that eats little children in Iceland who don’t wear the knitted garments given them at Christmas. I was a bit confused when Jon, the protagonist, finally finds a whole family of these cats living in a volcano. I think a single cat would have fit the story better. With these two exceptions I loved this very unique anthology and highly recommend it. It will make you think as well as make you squirm.
Contains moderate use of language and lots of gore.

2008's Dead Tide
In St. Petersburg and Pinellas Park, Florida the dead have begun to rise with only one goal….to feed on the living. Sitting on a small peninsula with the Gulf of Mexico on one side and Tampa Bay on the other, there are few options for evacuation in the event of an emergency. This is one emergency that no one has prepared for. There is no warning and there is no plan. Who will survive the zombie apocalypse?
With the story taking place over twenty-four hours, we are introduced to many characters quickly, but effectively. Nick Talaski, the hard-nosed cop with his friend Matt Keller on a ride-along; James Dodd, a cop who probably got lucky when he graduated from the academy, and seems to have a bit of a mean-streak; Trish, a stripper who doesn’t like to let anyone get too close; Mills, a firefighter and the only rescue worker left alive at the Mall; Bronte and Tracks who seemed to be up to no good when it all started; and the Mayor who has organized a group of VIPs that he has deemed worthy of evacuation to the safety of a cruise ship in the Bay. Dodd turns out to have a few screws loose and hooks up with some shady people, while Mills risks his life to go into the Mall alone to look for survivors. Trish manages to find some good people while Talaski and Keller end up on the wrong side of an ambush.
What I liked most about DEAD TIDE was that it focused more on the living than the dead. The zombies are driven solely by hunger, but the living, even during a life-threatening crisis, are still driven by their own selfishness and what they can potentially gain. I also liked that the story is all local. There are one or two references to news reports from outside these two cities, but the sphere of the action is kept small. There’s also a major surprise in store when the government finally seems to get its act together and send in some troops.
This is a great story that any zombie fan will love. There were quite a few surprises throughout, which is always good.....who likes predictability? Stephen doesn’t give too much away because there is a sequel coming….which I am really looking forward to. I recommend DEAD TIDE to any horror fan.

2009's R.I.P.
Poor chubby little Billy Barton! His dad runs off, his moms treats him like hes a little kid, he has no friends, and he's a punching bag for every bully in the school! Being 12 is no fun for this kid! That is until he wishes upon a star the night of his birthday....All he wants is a little friend, be careful what you wish for Billy!
Harrison's book is intended for the young reader much like his main character Billy, who is 12 and has his hands full with life, until he makes a wish and meets RIP, a zombie! Finally a friend of his own!
Harrison brings the funny along with guts and blood thrown in for good measure! Who wouldn't want their very own Zombie to protect them from bullies? Or in Billies case, eat them! Life for Billy the punching bag will never be the same, especially when a new girl starts school and RIP gets hungry!
A great read from Harrison, hope he has another story or two tucked away!

2009's Platoon Of The Dead
Platoon of the Dead is a 2009 Zombie film written and directed by John Bowker and stars Ariauna Albright, Tyler David and Amanda Bounds.
So honestly I dont know where to start with this one, the fact that it was made in 2009 and was as horrible as it was is astonishing, LoL.
Three Marines survive an assault of Zombies by shooting them with the worst "futuristic laser guns" I have ever seen, the pew pew noises made me giggle like a lil school girl! The blood was horrible, the Zombies sucked and I felt like pulling my hair out by the end of this thing!
A real stinker, if you have an hour to kill your better off making a dentist appointment and getting your teeth drilled!

2002's 28 Days Later
28 Days Later is a 2002 British post-apocalyptic horror film directed by Danny Boyle. The screenplay was written by Alex Garland, the film stars Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Brendan Gleeson, Noah Huntley, and Christopher Eccleston.
The plot depicts the breakdown of society following the accidental release of a highly contagious "rage" Virus and focuses upon the struggle of four survivors to cope with the ruination of the life they once knew.
Technically not a Zombie movie, but the Rage Virus turns humans into flesh eating monsters, so close enough, lol.
British animal rights activists break into a lab and release some crazy monkeys who proceed to infect the activists with the virus.
28 days later Jim (the main character) wakes up in a hospital to find it deserted, as is the rest of the city! Hes soon chase by a few of the Infected and is rescued but his later flame Selena. Once they got on the move they run into two more survivors while running from more Infected, a young girl and her dad. They have been receiving radio broadcasts from British military survivors claiming to have a cure, so of course they head towards the signal.
Once they reach the outpost the young girls dad is infected and killed by soldiers who usher the three survivors back to camp, turns out the cure is nothing more then the soldiers call for females, lol! Some great action ensues and all the soldiers end up dead and the survivors end up in an out of the way cottage on the brink of rescue!
I really like this movie, some great action, fast and rabid Infected, and a good overall story.

2007's Flight Of The Living Dead
Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane is a 2007 Zombie film by director Scott Thomas. It was originally titled "Plane Dead"
Straight to DVD Release.
On a routine flight from LA to Paris, a renegade group of scientists has smuggled aboard a secret container holding a fellow scientist infected with a deadly genetically engineered virus which reanimates the dead.
Of course the plane hits some nasty weather and lots of turbulence which cause the container in the baggage hold to come open. One by one people get bitten and infected, including the pilots, and most of the flight crew and scientists. Now these aren't your slow Zombies, these are fast and able to leap! Eventually a hole is blown in the side of the plane by a fighter jet and you see zombies being sucked out, the plane crash lands in Missouri and the final scene shows Zombies shambling off into the sunset!
Some real good kills in this one, and some good Zombie FX. If this movie was going for the serious angle it failed, I couldn't stop laughing, and yet this movie is in my collection!
Fun to watch, but dont expect too much!

2005's Land Of The Dead
Land of the Dead is a Zombie film by George A Romero, the fourth of Romero's six Living Dead movies. It was released in 2005 and became a success, grossing over $40 million, and had a budget of $16 million, the highest in the series
The story of Land of the Dead deals with a Zombie assault on Pittsburgh, where a feudal like government ran by Dennis Hopper exists. The survivors in the film have fled to the city. The city is protected on three sides by a large river and on the other by an electric barricade.
With the help of a Bad Ass vehicle (Dead Reckoning) a force of Hoppers men go into the outlying cities to search for supplies, while there they encounter "Stenches" as the Zombie have been dubbed. Dead Reckoning is equipped with Fireworks which distract the Zombies, that is until a Gas Station Zombie (Big Daddy) realizes whats going on and somehow retains some of his human nature, and slowly so do most of the other Zombies, they learn, adapt, and even communicate with grunt like noises! Big Daddy leads his Zombie army into the city where the proceed to tear everything apart!
Some great kills in this one, I'm a huge fan of the Romero Zombie, but for some reason I cant quite get on board with the intelligent Zombie, to me they are just flesh eating corpses, lol.
This one is also in my collection and I would recommend it to your average Zombie fan, however it does have its drawbacks, but all in all a good flick!

1968's Night Of The Living Dead
Night of the Living Dead is a 1968 independent black and white Zombie film directed by George A. Romero.
Ben (Duane Jones) and Barbra (Judith O'Dea) are the protagonists of a story about the mysterious reanimation of the recently dead, and their efforts, along with five other people, to survive the night while trapped in a rural Pennsylvania farmhouse.
This is Romero's first Zombie movie and he does not disappoint!
Some great Zombies for the era, a good overall story, I really liked the fact that you see the wicked side of humans as the bickering inside the house escalates.
Some great Zombie kills, fire, explosions, and a Posse of Farmers with Rifles!
What more can you ask for?!?!
