Because of this thread I've recently downloaded Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, the new remake of Day of the Dead (I hear it's terrible, can't wait), Fido, the re-animator trilogy and because they popped up: The Hills Have Eyes and 30 Days of Night...

Now when am I going to watch all that?

There is a remake of Day of the Dead? It is the weakest of the original trilogy, but some of the FX sequences are quite good, including the classic gut spill.

I think he/she meant Dawn, not Day. As far as I know there has been no remake of Day.

Anyone played the Zombies game? I hung out and drank with some friends this weekend and we played this game. It's an interesting open ended board game. It was fun.

Actually, there is a remake of 'Day of the Dead' that is going to be a direct-to-video movie to be released this April........
You can see parts of the movie on www.66stage.com

Craven~ Did you know that there is going to be a remake of "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things"?

I've actually heard that rumor for a few years now, but I would definitely be the first in line to see it. What's actually funny is that the guy who directed Porky's, Bob Clark, also directed the original CSPWDT and the original Black Christmas. Black Christmas, while featuring Olivia Hussey, was also the birthplace of the horror film trope "The calls are coming from in the house!"

I believe that Bob Clark might actually be directing the new CSPWDT, but I might be mistaken about that.

I've never played D&D, just AD&D in junior high. D&D was with homemade boards right?

Basically the game is a board game. There are a bunch of square tiles with individual settings on them reminiscent of a regular US town. I think they're 10x10 or so. The cards are stacked up and at the start of your turn you lay down a square, some are dead ends, some are open ended streets. You can only add another square to the open ended ones. Everyone's little Ash-esque plastic guy starts at the town square and the board changes every game. Some of squares have buildings you can enter on them, for example the Fire House, the Police Station or the Hardware Store. You can get different weapons at the various locations like a chainsaw or boomstick. After placing your piece of the town you put down some number of zombies, the number determined by a dice roll. The last tile to get placed is a helipad, whoever makes it there first gets lifted out and survives.

You try and screw other players by surrounding them with zombies or placing useful squares closer to you than them. It was fun, though we did turn it into a drinking game. Out of six of us playing only two survived until the last tile. It was freaking brutal.

My friend had it. It's pretty cheap, like 15-20 bucks. I suppose you would have to order it in Korea. He got it at the local comics/gaming store. That clique of friends is wonderfully geeky.

This is part bump, part post. I hate to see this thread go away. It should be changed to the official Dave's zombie thread.

I had a crazy dream the two nights ago. It is mostly gone now, but I remember two distinct things. I was some kind of zombie killing hero and New York, specifically Manhattan, and Baltimore were two of the cities that almost entirely survived zombie infestation. Something about the prevalence of guns and skilled users of guns.
