Do the Dead!
Hang loose!
It's October 1st, but with temps still in the 80s and 90s it feels like a great day for surfing! With a corpse, of course. Since The Cramps were the original inspiration for this blog, the first post always belongs to them. "Surfin' Dead" was featured on one of the best horror rock soundtracks ever put together, 1985's Return of the Living Dead, which includes not only The Cramps, but classic songs by The Damned, 45 Grave, and Roky Erickson as well. If you're looking for a great movie to start your October Halloween viewing off right, you couldn't do better than the silly, goopy, surprisingly well-written fun of this quasi-sequel to Night of the Living Dead. It was the brainchild of the guy who wrote Alien, so no wonder it's so good. Forget eating brains, have a sample of this to help make the pain of being dead go away:
I don't know why, but generally I don't like zombie movies much.
