New Horror Movies Ep. 032: Dead Man Still Walking - Zombies of Mora Tau (1957) and Invisible Invaders (1959)

For this delightful Ninth Edition of DEAD MAN STILL WALKING, your intrepid host, Dr. Walking Dead Kyle Bishop, brings you an Edward L. Cahn zombie double feature of Zombies of Mora Tau (1957) and Invisible Invaders (1959), a short film. One of these films Dr. Bishop deems a legit zombie flick and the other he calls “zombie-like.” But both are important to the history of zombie cinema because one film may contain the first use of the phrase “The Walking Dead,” as well as what might be the first screen appearance of the aquatic zombie. The other film was most likely used by George Romero as a visual reference for the way zombies move. Dr. Bishop answers his “Is it a zombie?” question for both films, and he also makes an important distinction about the Deadites from “The Evil Dead.” Don’t miss it!

New Horror Movies Ep. 017: Dead Man Still Walking - The Sadness (2022)

Movement is life! Welcome to the Third Edition of DEAD MAN STILL WALKING, where Dr. Walking Dead dares you to explore the depths of depravity found in this year’s notorious zombie flick, The Sadness (2022), a new Horror film from Taiwan written and directed by Rob Jabbaz. Dr. Bishop addresses the gore and violence and whether it is excessively or unnecessarily gratuitous. He describes how this new film fits into both 20th century and 21st century zombie narratives. Is “The Sadness” also a Romance? Is it an “Anti-Romance”? Is this film original or derivative? What other zombie narratives, if any, serve as influences? Kyle Bishop answers these questions and discusses the distinctions between “gluttonous zombies” and “wrath zombies” / “lust zombies.” In the beginning of his review, Dr. Bishop discusses some very mild, premise-based “spoilers.” But after providing a spoiler warning, he eventually covers full-blown spoilers for “The Sadness.” Listen!

New Horror Movies Ep. 016: Shudder Is Doing What Netflix Has Failed to Do

We sure hope you can listen to Episode 016 of Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies (even if it is 3 hours, 33 minutes long). We bring you reviews of a few brand-new Horror releases, including Good Madam (2022), Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022), and Fall (2022), with a special guest appearance from Spawn of the Dead! Also, Dave Becker introduces a new bonus segment called Dr. Shock’s Horror Blu-ray Corner! Back in Episode 009, Kyle Bishop thought Mack gave a very controversial rating to “Night of the Living Dead” (1968), so you will get to hear a tremendous examination of this film with Dr. Walking Dead and Mackula. Jay of the Dead sparks a Concept Discussion about a recent trend we’re seeing in Horror movies — the fast headbutting scene. And GregaMortis and Jay of the Dead both throw down 9.5 ratings on a must-see, must-own monster movie from 1958 for GregaMortis’s Monsters on the Mantle segment! And finally, in Episode 016, we bring you our group review of Mackula’s John Kenneth Muir pick, Count Dracula (1970)! Join us!
