Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

What about The Others? It's a ghost story for sure, but told from the perspective of ghosts who believe they're being haunted because, you know, they don't know they're dead. Excellent ghost story.

Shit. I'm not really here. But ZOMBIES ARE MY FAVORITE THING!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There seems to be a site of undead movies -- I can't get to it from work.

Also, Dr. Who 2005 had an episode that falls into your category.

Van Helsing. Also Pirates of the Caribbean -- I would think the cursed pirates would qualify as "life-challenged", though they're not exactly undead.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Now tagless for your comfort.

Idle Hands is fucking funny.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

But ZOMBIES ARE MY FAVORITE THING!

This is just begging to be filked.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Idle Hands is fucking funny.

It was a total "Dude, Where's My Car?" moment for me -- I fully expected to find it shamefully, painfully, watch-from-the-hall BAD. And then I found myself laughing my ASS off.

Putrified noses and brains that get bitten,
Stumbling cadavers with them I am smitten,
Rotting appendages tied up in strings,
Zombies are one of my favorite things!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

::makes mental notes::

::stops with the mental, just makes real notes::

I certainly have to at least mention G Vs. E if only because it recalls the panel's title.

I'd forgotten about Ghost Whisperer and Medium! Unfortunately, I've not watched either one.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

There was a recent-ish remake of Dawn of the Dead, as well as Romero's Land of the Dead (4th in his series of Dead movies).

Resident Evil 2
The Ring
The Ring 2
The Grudge (and also the American release of Ju-on: the Grudge, the Japanese film it was a remake of...)
Dark Water
Freddy vs. Jason (hey, a ghost and a zombie!)

On the TV front, there was that UPN show Haunted a couple of years ago, and Brimstone a good bit before that.
