WTF happened to the Return of the Dead series?
The first was clever, funny and enjoyable.

The second was a bit ridiculous, but still I enjoyed it.

The third was pretty bad.

Now they've got this Rave From the Grave bullshit?

Fuck me upside down.

1. I don't know, but we watched Diary of the Dead today.
I thought it was pretty good, but my wife thought it was lame.

4. No doubt that it's a long way from being great...
but after watching The Midnight Meat Train the other night, just about anything was an improvement as far as movies go. How can such a great short story be turned into such a lousy movie?

11. Kick yourself in the nuts instead.
It will be less painful, and you'll save the rental fee.

16. I was so disappointed because it was probably my favorite short story...
from the first Books of Blood.

6. I caught that, it was meh.
George Romero has lost his touch.

The Dead series (not to be confused with the Return of the Living Dead series) has stumbled badly, too.

10. It is very campy.

Which is why I love it.

I actually like it better than Night of the Living Dead and the zombies are most certainly more badass.
