DAY TWENTY - Doc of the Dead (horror movie challenge - 31 days of horror)

DAY TWENTY - DOC OF THE DEAD (2014)

So this obviously isn’t a horror film. But it’s my list and I do what I want. I’ve also wanted to see this documentary for a while and boy was it a joy to watch! Doc of the Dead was written and directed by Alexandre Philippe and focuses on the zombie genre as a whole. Where did it begin? How did it get so big? What does “zombie” even mean?

It’s really well put together and has a great host of people talking about zombie culture including Simon Pegg, George A. Romero, Bruce Campbell, Tom Savini, Greg Nicotero, Robert Kirkman and Max Brooks (just to name a few). It follows all aspects including what if zombies were real, should zombies be slow or fast, does 28 Days Later count as a zombie film? It’s all so much fun to watch, and really entertaining, funny and heartfelt.

I’ll for sure watch it again and would recommend it to anyone who’s a zombie fan, or horror fan, or just curious about why everyone’s so obsessed with the walking dead. 10/10

LOTS OF HORROR NEWS YA’LL~
Which is why I kept the review pretty short. But also reviewing a documentary is weird, I don’t know why. So let’s delve right in:

According to Bloody Disgusting, Friday the 13^th has been pushed back again, this time to a Friday the 13^th in 2017. This is most likely due to their search for a new writer, they’re currently accepting new scripts. Which means the 80’s throwback we all got excited about…not happening. Unless of course one of the newer scripts has the same idea. Honestly, I'm just happy they're even making another one. I even loved the 2009 reboot. I just love Friday the 13th and Jason and maybe I should write the script and send it in...right guys? guys? right?

Rings has also been pushed back from November of this year to April 1^st of next year. Which makes sense considering its October and all we’ve got is a set photo that looks like me when I get out of bed every morning. But you know what, that’s okay with me. Take your time with the movie and make it right ya know? I’m willing to wait if it means it gives the movie a better chance of being amazing.

We’ve also been getting a tone of stuff about the new X-files event/mini-series/sequel etc. Yesterday we got a great new teaser trailer, and we’ve gotten a tone of awesome posters, set photos, and show photos. I’M SO EXCITED! It did film here, but I wasn’t able to catch any of the filming because of work and never leaving my house. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are back as Agent Fox Mulder and Agent Dana Scully. In the “pilot” episode they will be taking on a case of a possible alien abductee. My body is ready.

Check out the new teaser:

Stay Spooky ya'll!
