It’s no secret: I love blood and guts. I love campy thrills and over-the-top gore. I love staring at the big screen while watching some angst-ridden teen or distraught babysitter lose her head thanks to a creepy mental ward escapee in a hockey mask.
As I sit staring at my computer screen, I am trying to think of a question for a term paper proposal. My mind is blank. My eyes are glazed over. Then, suddenly, it hits me.
Starting today, you can watch the desperate struggle of seven survivors as they battle hordes of undead creatures in a shopping mall amidst a city that lies in a ruin of apocalyptic proportions.
Unlike the stressful shopping gauntlet of Christmas or the psychotic distant relative visitor anxiety of Thanksgiving, the countdown to Halloween is as great as the actual holiday.
