Mailorderzombie.com - Zombie Podcast

Recently, I received a mass email from a site intriguingly called "Mailorderzombie," requesting feedback/input (in the form of MP3 audio) on the three remakes of "Night of the Living Dead." They are Cousin Savini's 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead, John Russo's 30th Anniversary edition of Night of the Living Dead; and Jeff Broadstreet's 2006 Night of the Living Dead 3-D.

Mailorderzombie.com features a weekly audio podcast celebrating straight-to-DVD Zombie flicks, and is a really well-done site to boot!

Zombie fans will want to shuffle on over, and provide their own input. The site can be found here: MailOrderZombie
