Six Feet Under

Happy Halloween! How to celebrate that better than watching an episode of Happy Tree Friends?





The fact that he uses a lawnmower to get rid of the zombies is definitely a reference to Peter Jackson's Braindead lawnmower scene.

Bush's new target: zombies

A Lawn Mower Can Save Your Life!!!

Remember what I wrote in my blog entry of 7 October? Well, for the first time I have to quote myself:

[Talking about Peter Jackson's Braindead]
I keep the best scene for the article I'll post on 31 October: it'll suit perfectly to the theme of the day… See you then!

Here we are. 31 October. I'm writing this at 6.42 pm. It's already dark. I'm alone in the corridor where my student room lies. It's the perfect time to watch the best scene of Braindead: the Lawnmower Scene. If you don't like horror movies and loathe the sight of blood (even fake), then you'd beter not watch this. Nevertheless, if you do want to have a good laugh, please watch it. It's definitely not the kind of movies that "make you shit bricks" (just to quote again thenostalgiacritic – cf. yesterday's post), but instead it's a tremendous movie.



And I can't resist to the temptation of showing you the fight opposing Father McGruder to several zombies:



And this is the origin of the zombie problem: rat monkeys of Sumatra (!):



Haha!!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the film!

Shaun of the Dead

Shaun of the Dead definitely kicks ass! It's a British zombie movie that's meant to be silly. As I didn't remember the plot quite well, here's the story in a nutshell (taken from the Wikipedia entry):

The plot focuses on Shaun, an unmotivated young man who is attempting to get some kind of focus in his life as he reconciles with his ex-girlfriend and settles his various issues with his mother and stepfather. At the same time he has to cope with an apocalyptic uprising of zombies that is causing society to collapse.

Here's a video containing some very good scenes of the film.



And a video featuring an appropriate song to fit the footage (and vice-versa):



The humour featured in this movie is typically British, and it is one of the reasons why I warmly recommend it, even if you don't like horror films. There are lots of references to George A. Romero's movie, too.

If you're interested in seeing more of that, check the many videos on YouTube.

Baby Attacks Human

After all, if a mutant turtle is able to attack a human, no wonder that a mutant baby does the same, as shown in Peter "Yeah the 'Lord of the Rings' one" Jackson's gory movie Braindead, a masterpiece of fake-blood horror…



I also wanted to show you a fragment featuring a sheep. I thought it was in Braindead, but Mr Romero (not the horror movies director…) lets me know that this fragment was from Bad Taste, another Peter Jackson movie. Enjoy!



Moreover, this other extract kicks ass. You'd better believe me…



Divine intervention! I kick ass for the Lord! — Father McGruder (Stuart Devenie).

It's just perfect!!! I LOVE IT! Absolutely dumb and bloody.
