Zombie erotica

A friend of mine recently gave this underrated sub-genre a stab, and it got me thinking. What films could I recommend to spark that perverse imagination of his? It didn't take me long to come up with a short list, which is now provided here for your enrichment.

Let's start by keeping things local: New Haven's very own Love of the Dead. It's sexy. It's funny. It's horrifying. It's everything you could want from the field, and the strongest indie short film offering I've seen come out of CT in years. For those of you who missed the Yale humanities center screening, the entire film is now available online.

Next on the list is something you've no doubt seen coming a mile off. If you haven't seen Dead Alive a.k.a. Braindead then run out and rent it right now. Yes, right now. Why are you still here? Check out that hot zombie on zombie action in the basement. With an ordained priest no less? Scandalous!



I couldn't find an actual picture of the scene since all my blogger brethren are prudes. Prudes!

Moving on, you need to check out the third installment of the Return of the Living Dead series. Yes, I know it sucked. What matters here is that it has arguably the hottest zombie of all time.



Throw in some S&M themes since zombie porn is apparently not dirty enough and you have... I don't know what you have. A touching tale of young love? A harrowing allegory of the modern military-industrial complex and its inevitable evils? A wasted piece of celluloid? Whatever. Melinda Clark who prefers to be called Julie is smoke'n. I love those spikes baby.

Last and certainly not least we have to talk about Re-Animator. Not only do I get to reference Lovecraft, I get to make an obvious pun about head.



It doesn't get much more erotic than that.
