Horror Channel have announced a double bill season of brain-munching zombie movies. Including five UK TV premieres. Rising up from the Friday 6th April are a putrid plethora of zombie movies, both contemporary and classic, celebrating the popularity of one of the genre’s most enduring archetypal villains. The season reflects the diverse range of metaphors these ungodly creatures represent – from the breakdown of society to our addiction to consumerism and taste for the military.
6th April @ 22:55 – Night Of The Living Dead (1968)
The season kicks off with the genre classic, George Romero’s Night Of The Living Dead. It’s 1968 and America watches horrified as grimy black and white news footage from Vietnam reveals the true monsters in this world – us. It was this political backdrop that spurred Romero to make his ground-breaking movie, harnessing the horror of watching a national disaster unfold on the news – before it comes...

Stag Night Of The Dead
Stars: Sebastian Street, Rez Kempton, Jeff Rudom, Sophie Lovell Anderson | Written and Directed by Neil ‘Napoleon’ Jones
Dean is all set to get married in the morning and nothing’s going to stop the crazy full-on stag party organised by his mates. Not even the recent zombie apocalypse. Six guys, plenty of booze, a stripper, and Zomball – which is like paintball, only players get to shoot lasers instead of paint and zombies instead of each other. You see, with all the zombies around it turns to provate contractors to get rid of them and what better way than letting joe public blast the life (pardon the pun) out of them for shits and giggles. But what begins as a fun stag do soon turns into a fight for their lives as the zombies just won’t stay dead and the wedding party (and the stripper...

*a screener of this film was provided by Left Films.
Director/writer: Neil Jones.
Cast: Sebastian Street, Sophie Lovell Anderson and Joe Rainbow.
There are three rules of Zomball in Stag Night of the Dead: 1) stay together, 2) look out for the recharge station and 3) never humiliate a zombie. The characters in Stag Night of the Dead break all of these rules and unsurprisingly, many of the characters do not make it to the end credits. Stag Night of the Dead will release on DVD and iTunes January 9th and this film is a satisfying romp through a zombie apocalypse. The grainy film stock and a few poor character choices are the only elements that hamper a comedic movie watching time.
The film begins with six men on stag. Dean (Sebastian Street) is the groom and he has only one more night of freedom before marrying his very bitchy sweetheart.

Ah, the stag night: that ritualistic farewell to unmarried life via an evening of unfettered revelry and shit-faced debauchery. While the morning after brings a distinctly zombie-like appearance to all involved, the cast of Neil Jones’ Stag Night of the Dead have a few more of the flesh-eating type to contend with when their choice of celebratory activity goes very, very wrong. Dig on the trailer, some stills, and UK release details right here!
From the Press Release:
Zombie mayhem will be ringing in the New Year as the British zombie comedy Stag Night Of The Dead is to get its UK release on 9th January on DVD and iTunes.
Set in the wake of a zombie outbreak, when private companies are cashing-in on ways to dispose of the undead, Neil ‘Napoleon’ Jones’ film is about a stag party out for a game of Zomball – like paintball except that you get to shoot zombies.

Horror fans can rejoice this week as a slew of horror films that were submitted to the MPAA all got an R rating from the MPAA. No battles over an Nc-17 rating and this batch of films is clearly not meant for the PG-13 crowd either. Husk is rated R for horror violence and language. Stag Night (aka Stag Night of the Dead) is rated R for strong bloody violence, language and brief sexual content. The Trap Door is rated R for language, violent grisly images and brief sexuality.
Here is what info is known about each of these films:
Husk appears to be part of After Dark Films "Originals" lineup. The cast includes Devon Graye, Wes Chatham, C.J. Thomason, Tammin Sursok and Ben Easter.
