The final film of our Halloween season, and the second in our pairing of more modern takes on the Zombie sub-genre, is anything but modern in it setting. 2011's "Exit Humanity," directed by John Geddes, chronicles a zombie outbreak near the end of the U.S. Civil War. Narrated by the wonderful Brian Cox, the film follows Edward Young (Mark Gibson), a veteran who has had to contend with the zombie outbreak, including killing his wife who had turned into one of the shambling dead. He then departs his homestead in search of his missing 11-year-old son. After discovering his son's fate, he enters a seemingly abandoned town to forage for supplies and comes face-to-face with Isaac (Adam Seybold), who enlists Edward's help rescuing his sister Emma (Jordan Hayes) from the renegade General Williams (Bill Moseley) and his squad of hunters, including Medic Johnson (Stephen McHattie) who is trying to figure out the medical-basis for the zombie outbreak and, if possible, concoct a cure. After Edward is wounded rescuing Emma, they seek assistance from Eve (the legendary Dee Wallace), a local healer who was outcast from her village. Together, Edward, Isaac, Emma, and Eve attempt to figure out a life together, all the while dealing with concurrent threats from the zombies and from General Williams' band. Plus, the trio reveal their first two-for-one tribute to two amazing actresses who have recently passed away!

For our second Halloween-season pairing, we turn to two more modern takes on the Zombie sub-genre of horror. First up is a film that looks at a zombie-esque uprising in a small Canadian community (although, according to director Bruce McDonald, they're not zombies they're "conversationalists") in 2008's "Pontypool!" Radio personality Grant Mazzy (played by the incomperable Stephen McHattie) is headed to a station so small he fires his agent as he drives to his first day on-air. Arriving at the station, he is greeted by his young engineer Laurel-Ann Drummond (Georgina Reilly) and quickly begins to butt heads with his producer Sydney Briar (Lisa Houle) over how they're going to handle Grant's on-air "personality." As the morning goes on, they begin to get reports of a mob attacking a local Doctor's office, which quickly becomes something more... something worse. As a seemingly random attack turns into a full-on epidemic crisis, Grant, Sydney, and the doctor in question, Dr. Mendez (Hrant Alianak) try to figure out not why this is happening, as there is no why to be found, but how this virus transmits itself, and their findings are like nothing seen before in a zombie film! Also featuring Rick Roberts as the voice of traffic reporter Ken Loney, this small cast provides a riveting story of how experience, even if it seems unrelated, can sometimes be the key to solving a huge problem... even if it doesn't save everyone!

Our second film of October, and our second in our Horror-Comedy pairing, comes to us from the team of Director Drew Goddard and Producer Joss Whedon, both of whom penned this tribute to the entire horror genre! A group of friends head out to a remote cabin recently purchased by a family member for a weekend of sex, drinking, and general partying good times! Sounds familiar, right? This time, however, there's an even more sinister event taking place. The friends must contend with a returned redneck zombie family intent on killing them all, but two survivors find out that there's actually a company behind the evening's horrific events, and the reason they're killing the members of the group is to stop an even greater horror from happening. Unfortunately, the two survivors don't find out about it until it's too late, and things take a turn for an even worse! Starring Kristen Connolly, Christ Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Jesse Williams, Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford, and Amy Acker, this film answers the question, "What if every horror-based urban legend you've ever heard of was run by a corporation?" Plus, find out what two new entries in the zombie genre conclude our "Month of Halloween" pairings!

Welcome to Halloween, part one! All through the month of October, we'll be looking at some horror films you may or may not have seen, but you should! Our first pairing focuses on the lighter side of horror, films listed as "Horror Comedy." First up, it's the movie that brought to us the idea that zombies want brains, in 1985's "Night of the Living Dead"-inspired "Return of the Living Dead!" Directed by Dan O'Bannon, and written by John Russo (who wrote the screenplay for George Romero's original 1968 zombie classic), this film is Russo's version of a sequel! The movie follows a gang of punk-rock teens as they hang out in a nearby cemetary, waiting for one of their group to finish work at the nearby medical supply company. Unfortunately, at work, we discover that (supposedly), "Night of the Living Dead" was based on actual events, and the proof of those events is currently being stored in the basement! After a mishap while investigating the supposedly stored zombies, and a bad decision at a crematorium, the dead begin to rise from the nearby graveyard and go on a brains-seeking spree, all while the ever-dropping number of survivors try to figure out how to escape! With an ending ripe for sequels (and there were two), this is campy zombie fun at its earliest!
