New Dawn of the Dead is coming

Wow does this look good! Judging from the trailer, the zombies are a little peppier than the original ... like you can't toy with them before killing them like the bikers did in the mall ... you either kill them or RUN! :D

The zombie movies get to me on some kind of elemental level, Ra. I believe I've seen every one thats been made. I've seen Dawn of the Dead probably 10 times since it came out, and I'm still geeked about this remake coming out in March.

I don't know what it is. I even dream about zombies fairly frequently. I know all the zombie lore. I even screwed a zombie b*tch in a dream - that wierded me out when I woke up.  :lol  

In my dreams I'm either killing them,  trying to outrun them, or trying to fit in with them so they don't notice I'm not one of them. Never works though. They just know.

I'm a huge George Romero and John Carpenter fan. THe dead trilogy is my my Star Wars. The movie looks good but ALOT is changed. ie running zombies.. just not the same. The good thing is at the time of the remake release Anchor Bay is releasing a huge DVD box set of the Orginal Dawn of the Dead with countless  goodies and dif versions.. the holy grail for zombie fans like myself.


Gunther..

I've got a good zombie genre movie/book collection going if you are interested. http://www.homepageofthedead.com is a good resource too.. full of hardcores that spend their days answering "what if" fantasizing of zombies walking.

It's okay, Gunthr.  There is certainly something disconcerting about the dead who don't die.  Unseemly.  Inconsiderate.  

My childhood was terrorized by the undead variant known as The Mummy's Ghost.  Cotton-pickin heap of rags chased me everywhere.  Fortunately he and zombie buddies like him were slow, and nothing is faster than a scared kid.  

(Scary movie rule No. 1:  Never make monsters faster than the audiences or they will eat the audiences and box office receipts will plummet.)  

Other monsters added to my torment.  Until one night when a giant ape stared in my window and I said to myself (my first epiphany), THIS IS JUST A DREAM!  I punched the ape in the face, and he went away.  So did his creepy associates.

And then I read threads like this, and realize -- the zombies are still chasing somebody somewhere.  You are now advised as the pilgrims were when they confronted the rabbit in Monty Python: Run Away! Run Away!

But first punch them in the face.

Holy cow, I gotta see this one.

One of my fav movies is the 1968 - Night of the Living Dead.

I also liked 28 days (recent movie)

and of course, the original dawn of the dead...I love these flicks!

This new one looks good to me. Just in time for my birthday too

dawn of the dead was the best..  looking forward to the remake.

Can you imagine wandering through a huge sporting goods store and picking out the best zombie neutralizer firearms?

no fair that they run in this one tho... I can't run for crap.   Oh well.... 12 guage time for them.

The zombie things in 28 Days Later were good.

Is it a coincidence all the zombie movies come out when Republicans are in charge?
