HMM '12 Day 4: Dead Alive

It's finally October! That means two very important things: Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts are almost here, and Halloween is near! My favorite thing to do in October to prepare myself for Halloween is to, of course, watch movies that I feel best exemplify the season. Now, this doesn't just mean extreme gore fests (of course, I do love me some gore), but I like to include movies that have that Halloween feel. Anyway, let's get to Day 4 of Halloween Movie Madness 2012!

I need to start this one with a word of warning: This post is NSFW.  Don't read this one if lots of gore upsets you.

Dead Alive
(Trimark Pictures, 1993)

Now that we got that out of the way, tonight’s movie is Dead Alive, also known as Braindead, also known as one of the goriest movies of all time. When I first saw this movie, I had never heard of the director.  Now, almost everyone has heard of him.  He directed a pretty popular trilogy about a ring.  Yes, this movie came from the mind of Peter Jackson.  It is also the first of two of his movies that will appear in HMM '12.  This is the only movie that, no matter how many times I watch it, still makes me gag in certain parts. Hell, even just thinking about a few scenes in particular makes me feel nauseous.
