Or, more accurately, bits of horror movies that we'd like to play

Quick Synopsis: A woman travels to the mysterious island of Matool to try and find her missing father - a scientist on an ill-fated research mission. As if the title wasn't a big enough giveaway, she discovers the island is infested with zombies. Most people get killed.

Zombie Vs Shark



Zombie eye gouging

Creepiest soundtrack ever

'Zombie Flesh Eaters opening theme' By Fabio Frizzi

Go listen to that on your own in a haunted house. In a wood. Built on an old Indian burial ground. Near a lunatic asylum.

Happy Halloween!
