Happy Easter! He lives! The Tomb Is Empty! It’s finally time for Episode 178 of Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies, an atypical show with some live, “in-the-field” recordings. The show begins with an on-location excursion to “Burgertory,” a Horror-themed restaurant in Salt Lake City, where a few of the Horror Avengers and Grisly Gus sample some macabre burgers! While they’re out on the town, they review the zombie flick, “We Bury the Dead” (2026), which Dr. Walking Dead describes as a “post-zombie film” that reconsiders the undead as something more than monsters. Jay refers to it as a “Zzz Zzz Zombie” movie. These live segments also include an excerpt of a live jam session where the boys cover, “Careless Whisper,” featuring Dr. Bishop on saxophone and lead vocals!

The second half of the episode transitions into spoiler territory with the Main Event: a full review of “It: Welcome to Derry Season 1” by Ron Martin and Dr. Walking Dead. And finally, the episode closes in a unique and heartfelt fashion, with Jay of the Dead’s Tribute to Joe Bob Briggs following the cancellation of “The Last Drive-In” after seven seasons on Shudder. When it’s all said and done, Episode 178 stands as a memorable and unconventional installment that blends Horror discussion, live music, theatrical outings, and tribute into one distinctive experience. We hope you enjoy it. Join us!
