The Angry Video Game Nerd said it best, "not everything your idol does is gold".

That is an understatement.

I am not sure if this movie was really needed. It goes back to the start of the zombie outbreak, and to me cannot really be considered a part of the first four films. It is more like a reboot. A very poor attempt to connect with the internet generation. It is also the first time in the series where the characters are not adults. They are either high school or college students. I am not really sure. But they are not really frightened of the zombie outbreak but are concerned with filming it, while making silly remarks in response to the danger.

The found footage gimmick does not really work as the footage is not found. It is filmed with the purpose of releasing it to the public. Which does not make sense as it is a global outbreak so people would be well aware of what was happening. I am sure that if the dead rise from their graves we will not be taking time out to watch a student film with narration to figure everything out. When the evening news lady gets eaten by a corpse on television, I think most people would go into panic mode and probably give social media a rest.

We had high hopes for this one as the concept was promising, but it just fell flat. Romero's obsession with the internet continued in Survival of the Dead where people were still online and posting youtube videos well after the world had collapsed. Not sure how it remained online but hey, it's only a movie.

Won't you join us in the Bird Hole as we discuss this gem and other pressing topics?

Third times a charm!

Well lets hope so in the case of this much beloved Twilight Zone Episode. Here it is remade for a third time and for the digital age viewer in mind. It will be hard to live up to the original or even the movie version but lets give it a go!

Join us 30 feet underground in the Bird Hole as we enter the Twilight Zone for, "Nightmare at 30,000 Feet".

Have you ever wondered what happened to the other people that were behind the creation of Night of the Living Dead?

We all know what became of George Romero. He directed the original and the follow ups and had a very successful career in the film industry. The co-writer John Russo ended up with the rights to write and make films with the title of "Return of the Living Dead" while George was able to use the title with the phrase "Of The Dead". Russo sold his script and rights to producer Tom Fox who trashed the entire thing and just retained the title. It was a success and spawned four sequels. Romero continued with his series up until his death.

But what became of the man who played the original zombie in Night of the Living Dead?

Well he played that zombie again, in 1988's film disaster....Flesh Eater.

Bill Hinzman also wrote and directed this mess of a movie. The effects are decent except for the actual face make up of the zombies. The gore effects are fairly good for the budget and are still fun to look at. The acting falls somewhere between middle school drama class and porn. The story and pacing are very puzzling to put it kindly.

That being said, the film is so bad its great. If you like gore and bad acting then you are in luck.

Catch a hayride with us as we try and make it through this awful Night of the Living Dead clone.

Cue it up and join Birdhands as we take a bite out of....Flesh Eater

God is in his Holy Temple.

Yes we know. A chill just ran up your spine because you were reminded of the evil Reverend Kane from Poltergeist 2: The Other Side. This character gave people around the world nightmares for life and when we look back at the film all these years later, it is still horrifying.

Well Kane is at least. The rest not so much. Studio interference was a big factor with the final cut of this movie which was originally 130 minutes and they chopped it down to 90 for some reason. Too bad that the missing scenes are probably lost forever. We can only hope that it is one day found.

While having a tough act to follow, this one still holds its own. As much as I love the Kane character, I wish they kept the original explanation for the haunting instead of having it now shifted to one person. Not really sure how they built a house on top of a graveyard that was also on top of another graveyard. Shady contractors I guess?

Grab some Tequila, put on some war paint, and cue up the movie to watch along in real time with us as we swallow the worm that is... Poltergeist 2: The Other Side.

Have you ever revisited something that you have not seen for at least 20 years or so and it did not live up to the memory you had of it?

Well, that is the experience we have this week while watching the 1988 horror comedy, "Killer Klowns from Outer Space".

This film was quite ahead of the clown craze we are going through right now but in this case they are played mostly for laughs instead of scares. Which is a shame because they are probably the most terrifying designs you will ever see.

The film itself is a bit weak even though I know it is well liked in the horror community. Perhaps it is because the movie is self aware and it seems pretty well everything is self aware now.

But it still is a treat to see the clown designs onscreen after all these years. The vision is still there though and its worth a watch.
