Episode 144: Horror 101 - Episode 144: Zombie (1979)

Happy Easter!  And welcome Horror 101 fans to our 144th show.   A year after Romero's epic Dawn of the Dead took the Horror world by storm Italy answered with their own take on the undead subgenre, made for the International market.  This would be Lucio Fulci's first entry in an array of graphic Euro-Splatter features made for English audiences which would crown him the Godfather of Italian Splatter.  With unforgettable sequences and gore which is as graphic as it is ridiculous we are pleased, for the second time to remind our listeners that Fulci Lives!  Please enjoy as we give the Horror 101 treatment to ZOMBIE!  (They Are Going To Eat You!!)
