The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for Thursday 14th March 2024


For the second news anthology of the week I bring three more rotted pieces of news from my bloody mail sack of horrors. In 'me' news I am currently playing Helldivers II, though I don't think that really fits into the horror spectrum. I haven't mentioned it previously, but the current season of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III has a zombie theme to its battlepass. Not only is it full of zombie calling cards, stickers and emblems, but it also features Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead as its big skin. That would be cool, but not only does he have something of a cheap knock-off look to him, but they have someone very much not Andrew Lincoln providing his lines. As a paid skin there is also Michonne, thankfully she does look a bit more like the character she is meant to represent!

Friends Forever is an eighties styled slasher film that is streaming exclusively on Reveel. The synopsis has a mother of a family going insane and killing her family as a result of discovering their years supply of food has been ruined. Thirty years later a bunch of teens break into the abandoned family home in order to throw a wild party, but no doubt discovering a killer who is none too happy to see them there. To see this head over to Reveel here.

Afterlife is a documentary that is out now on digital platforms from BayView Entertainment, and is due to head to AVOD platforms on 30th March. Described as '...compelling and thought-provoking...', this follows a filmmaker (Ben Harl) as he explores what could happen to us once we die. The documentary includes interviews with spiritual teachers, scientists, and medical professionals.  


Finally for today, too crazy not to mention is horror parody (should that be parrotdy?) Murdaritaville which came to digital, Blu-ray and VHS from Amazon and ByTheHorns on March 1st.  This is about a group of friends who find themselves the target of a deranged were-parrot(!) while on route to an impersonator contest. Being a lover of both birds and horror, this seems like the perfect (birdseed) mix.
