I went to the Eerie Horror Film Festival this past weekend, where I got to see the very hyped independent zombie movie Colin. I’ll tell you what I thought of it, and whether it’s worthy of everything they’ve been saying about it. Also, the zombie short right before it, Deadspiel, kicked ass.

There were some really great things I got in the mail this week, such as Rigor Mortis #2, Revenant Magazine #0, and Zombies: Encounters with the Hungry Dead by John Skipp. I’ll tell you all about these too.
