Now, isn’t this a coincidence? Today I’ve been watching the first two episodes of AMC’s new zombie series The Walking Dead and want to see more. Thankfully, I’m going to get to do just that. AMC has renewed The Walking Dead for a 13 episode second season, according to Deadline. Reportedly, The Walking Dead has reached more adults 18-49 than any other show in cable television history.

Prior to the zombie movies Black Sheep and Zombieland, I hadn’t considered myself a fan of the zombie genre, but with the addition of The Walking Dead, I’m going to have to revaluate that opinion. The Walking Dead has every element of a premium cable drama; the sex, the violence, the action and more than a little gratuitous gore. The post-apocalyptic nature of the series reminds me of CBS’ cult hit Jericho and one of my favorite Showtime series Jeremiah. If you haven’t watched The Walking Dead, you should give it a try, just not before bed or after a meal!

There are few more subjective categories than the Top 25 Greatest Horror Movies. In thinking about my own top 25, and trying to stay objective, I found myself struggling with movies that scared the hell out of me, movies that thrilled me with original horror and even films so disturbing I would never watch them again. Of the ones that were truly great, some gave me great laughs and some made me jump in my seat. One even made me crawl under my seat as a child. Some were so horribly real that they caused me nightmares and heart palpitations. The ones that didn’t will be on someone else’s list.

No. 25: Zombieland

The newest horror film on the list, Zombieland is funny far more than scary, but a great film for all that. This is a megamovie with one great cameo and 90+ minutes of great action. The originality, disgusting violence and unlikely characters make Zombieland one of the best funny scary movies as well. You might want to sneak in some Twinkies, I so wanted one by the end of the film. Take a pen, too. You might want to write down the Zombieland rules before you leave. Ya’ never know. Oh, and start up the cardio, these Zombies are quick. READ MORE

I absolutely love it when I'm right. Zombieland is blisteringly fast, blastingly violent and belly laughingly funny. Woody Harrelson (Cheers), Jesse Eisenberg (Adventureland), Emma Stone (Superbad) and Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) are as unlikely a group as you will ever find and yet their chemistry is catalytic and the chaos resulting is hilarious.

Comedy bonus weekend coming up! Zombieland and The Invention of Lying, both comedies, both have great trailers and both have great comic lead actors: Woody Harrelson and Ricky Gervais. I want to see you all; be there or be square.

If you haven't seen the trailer you must be living in a mud hut. It's everywhere. Zombie comedies are some of the best horror films and Zombieland is in great company. Films like Night of the Comet, Shaun of the Dead and Return of the Living Dead are hilarious and Zombieland is going to be right there with them. Harrelson is always best when he's funny (check out Anger Management) and this may be his best. READ MORE
