Here Come the Dead!! ZOMBIE Movies – Part 1!
Mar 19, 2023
Kevin L. Williams

Staying with my desire to keep things fresh, in this episode, I am focusing on all things ZOMBIE! Now, not all of these films are Gothic films, but all of them feature Gothic Tropes in some shape or way. I am not going to cover Zombie TV or streaming shows like The Walking Dead franchise, because I have only seen the first few seasons and none of the spin-off shows. I will leave that to more qualified Zombie enthusiasts!

 This is just MY take on Zombie Movies that are worth watching.
