A woman on a mission...

I’m on a mission. On a mission to watch as many new to me zombie movies as I can. Why? I’m not really sure other than the fact that I like them *shrugs*. It’s also kind of interesting to see the different angles the movies take. Some vary the types of zombies or how they act, some how the zombies came about, some the location (i.e. if the survivors travel to find safety or remain stationary), some…well you get the point. Even though I watched 7 zombie movies this weekend (yes, you read that right…7) and a total of 20 something overall I, surprisingly, don’t feel like I’m seeing the same movie over and over.

I thought about setting a goal for my ‘mission’…maybe one per week for the rest of the year or trying to aim for a certain overall number but ultimately I decided against it. I will just go with the flow and see where it takes me.

I have 7 more movies on standby but I’ll need to restock at some point…probably sooner rather than later the way I’m going.

Zombie movies I’ve seen in order by release year. I know I’m missing at least one but I haven’t figured out which one…yet.

2.       The Return of the Living Dead - 1985
3.       Death Becomes Her - 1992
       hhmm, does this one qualify?

What are your thoughts on zombie movies?

 

Do you think I’m insane for watching 7 in one weekend (it’s ok if you do, lol)?

Have you seen any zombie movies you can recommend to others? Or any I can add to my list?

 

Random parting thought: I had strange dreams last night…can’t imagine why.
